An image I made while standing near the top of the hill at the broken gate that market the top of the "Triangle Field" at Gettysburg, just across the road from Houck's Ridge and Devil's Den. The triangle is about a three acre area of field containing large stones bordered on the top and bottom of the hill by this stone wall and on the western edge by woods. On the afternoon of July 2, 1863, the second day of the Battle, a portion of Union Brigadier General J. H. Hobart Ward’s Brigade met the Confederate brigades of Brigadier Generals J. B. Robertson, Henry L. Bennin, George T. Anderson and Evander M. Law in battle. After many assaults, retreats and re-assaults the Confederate forces were able to cause Ward's forces to retreat across the valley to Cemetery Ridge north of Little Round Top. This left Devil's Den secured for the Confederates who could then continue onward to Little Round Top.
For those with an interest in battlefield ghosts, "The Triangle" is generally regarded to be the area noted by Gettysburg ghost hunters as being one of the most spiritually active on the Gettysburg Battlefield. The last two times I have visited the triangle field since I made this image the gate was noticeably missing. I'm hoping they were just restoring it and that someone hadn't broken it further or worse.

Early morning on a ranch in the Aravaipa Canyon area in Arizona. The area must have received a recent rain, the ground was moist and the grass was green. We had seen cattle in nearby pastures and signs of cattle grazing in this pasture. The Cedar post and pipe gate just called to the ranch girl in me, so of course I snapped the shot.
When I got home and started processing some of my photos this was one of the first I looked for in the multitude of photos. I also love the Jumping Cholla cactus in the back ground. I know one thing, if I was gathering this herd on a horse I'd have a good pair of batwing chaps on to protect me from the cactus.
Thanks for looking and commenting.

On the other side of the gate was sheer cliff and water.
Taken in Newport.
This will be my last vivid photo for a week as I have decided to only do black and white photos starting now for 7 days.
More about this small resolution in my upcoming 365.

We received a few centimetres of snow overnight. Mother Nature's way of ensuring that we don't forget who's in control.
My garden has four gates; all different colours ... one made from old metal bed springs painted black, one painted blue, one painted red, and a raw metal. The red gate is my favourite even though it is in need of repair
A detail of a surviving leaf of the ancient gates of Ganja, a masterpiece of craftsmanship of the 10/11th century, fastened to the wall facing King David Agmashenebeli’s (the Builder) grave in the yard of the Gelati monastery, near Kutaisi, Georgia. Originally one of the six gates at the castle surrounding the town of Ganja in Azerbaijan, these were created by Azerbaijani master Ibrahim ibn Osman, made of cast iron and decorated on the outside with stamped ornaments and patterns according to the chasing method.
The gates were taken as a trophy by King Demetrius I of Georgia, after he attacked and looted Ganja, that was practically defenseless following a strong earthquake in 1139 that destroyed the town.
David the Builder’s grave itself lies inside the south gate of the monastery; David wanted all who entered to step on his tomb.

The former London Transport garage in Green Street in June 1973, some thirteen years after closure, this the view from Cromwell Road. Raelbrook Limited was, I think, a clothing business, the building now housing the East Shopping Centre.
Scanned from a Koachrome slide, taken by the late John Hamley, now in my collection.
I took some new photos and combined them with an older one of Brittney. I wasn't quite sure what to do with the portraits of her so I picked my favorite and made a scene with it. Still exploring with fluid, moving sections of fabric.
I liked the idea of my beautiful ivy covered fence having a secret little doorway in it.

Mistress Lane (二奶巷) is approximately 500m long lane is located at the heart of Old Town neighborhood in Ipoh. During the tin-mining era, many rich miners had their mistresses stayed in these houses, therefore this tiny lane got its name after the infamous history.
With investors flocking in from neighboring Singapore, Mistress Lane is getting a "facelift" - transforming into a coming " it" place for pubs and cafes in Ipoh.

these images of Mistress Lane will soon be the documentary of its past:

Pilgrim at the gates of Kongobuji Temple in Koyasan
"Kongobuji was originally constructed in 1593 by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to commemorate the death of his mother. Later it was merged with a neighboring temple and reorganized into the head temple of Shingon Buddhism, the sect introduced to Japan by Kobo Daishi in 805 and headquartered on Koyasan."
