I must have walked past this gate many times but never really noticed it. A couple of days ago, though, on a lovely Sunny August afternoon, it captured my attention.
The Lantern Room 
The lighting is so effective in this shot, I can see why it caught your attention.

Excellent lighting. Something about the gate makes me thinking of Great Expectations and Miss Haversham’s house.

Hmm, it looks kinda mysterious doesn’t it? I mean the path looks slightly overgrown and you can’t see the house that the gate leads to, which switches on the old imagination. Like it!

Thank you Hallysann! I was pleased with this one as it packs an emotional punch. It was a different type of shot for me and something I’d like to experiment with a bit more. You’ve gotta love late Summer afternoon sunshine and shadows – and B&W (sometimes) 🙂
