[QUOTE="Dangerspouse, post: 759095, member: 46690"] Went down to our local cemetery yesterday because they have a really nifty wrought iron gate that would have made great shot (I think) for the "Gate" challenge this week. But when I got there, the gate was open and a service was being held right behind it. I didn't want to be so crass as to intrude on the mourners with my camera, so I drove around the far side of the grounds to see what I could find. There were a few large mausoleums, some of which had faux gate fronts which were solid but shaped like gated entries. Most were metal which had oxidized into various shades of green-blue. I used this as my entry, a detail of one of the hinges and a pull bar. I like the following B&W treatment of it, too: [ATTACH=CONFIG]356501._xfImport[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]356502._xfImport[/ATTACH] Afterwards I wandered around a bit more and took some general shots, but it was starting to rain so I couldn't stay long.
