Description
This gate is out in the woods at my sister-in-law Cindy's place. There isn't any fence . . . just this gate. It was like that when they bought the property. I've always loved it, and today seemed an appropriate time to share it with you.
I was over there today to celebrate Cindy's mom's life. Kay passed away on October 24th. (I posted her picture in my gallery a couple months ago.)
The gate seemed an interesting metaphor. You may feel free to make of it what you will.

It could be so many things, but what comes to my mind is her passing through on the way to whatever comes next!! It's a really lovely foto, and an even more touching tribute to her.
Tara, I love this shot...it has a foreboding feel in the tone you have used. Perhaps the rest of the fence was made of hedges or something...
Tara, my Larry would have loved that picture...it has a nice feeling about it...I like it also....this has been one of my down days.
Wonderful capture!!
I think this gate is beckoning me through it to explore an unknown world on the other side. I'm sure that world will be filled with joy, laughter, beautiful flowers, a pastel colored sky and lots of happy children. Oh yes, and pounds and pounds of chocolate that tastes delicious but has no calories. In a more serious vein, I like your thoughts on what the gate means to you.
Into nowhere?....if you open this gate you step into the wonderful place where faeries flying around, cute little goblins ready to play hide and seek with you. This a place where you wish to be when hard time hits you badly, this is a place where you share your joy and happiness with a whole world. Wonderfull shot Tara.
this is beautiful - i hope nobody removes it!
excelente captura con ese tono sepia bravo
Fantastic shot, I love such old abandonned "relics" of the past, they suggest stories... Loves also the shot by itself!!!
Nice scene captured... great post work on this as well! Nicely done!
Very interesting shot!
OHH I like that gate too. It would really have been exiting to know why it is standing there :))) Brilliant shot and postwork.
It's wonderful "a gate into nowhere" very apt but it is leading somewhere it's leading into the past i too would love to know why it's standing there lol. Love the sepia tone you've used for this shot
Nice catpure and tones. An interesting gate. Aloha

Doesn't really matter where it leads or not, what matters is that you have captured a great shot here. I love the sepia tones, the lighting and the rustic feel to this image - Excellent!!!
Very well done.

There is a lovely rustic charm to this shot, Tara! I love it!
Nicely captured. You have created a beautiful atmosphere!!!
Hi Tara I like too warm hug, Linda
This is lovely. It is so 'Zen', isn't it? ...and if zen, ergo gentleness, peace, and many good things, even the faeries mentioned. I like this very much.
Oh I love this one, Tara! I'd have left that sucker there, too. A fascinating piece and I especially like there being no fence. The sepia completes the view perfectly. Fave!
Quite good sepia picture
the sepia tones give this a wonderful atmosphere
