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.

The golden gate stretched far and wide, Till the eye can see, The line of beauty never fading, Strong, bewildered and free. Caste a gaze by the shadowed eye, It brings the brilliance bound, But in the pupil suffering For despair is the sound. It echoes each vibrant step, As if waiting for light, Even with the brilliance, Despair steps in sight. Even with the beauty hold, And with the gate solid gold, Despair lurks round and round, Bringing glory to the ground. And this alas, the golden gate, Not beautiful, but nor in despair, Not enough to shine the world, But given enough thou care. Viraj Bhanshaly

I think it may well have been said by everybody else, it is a fine image you put before us Tara. Wonderful sepia tones, it could be called the gate of rememberence, remember those that have gone. Each and everyone will come up with a different thought of what it means to them. You have created a wonderful piece of 'Art' for that is what it is. Truly excellent work. Bravo!!!!!

My first question is - are you sure it is not out-to nowhere ? Beautiful old gate. Nice done with the sepia :-)

Fine POV, clarity and colors in this shot of the antiquated gate and overgrowth, Tara. Incidentally, does the gate have hinges and a handle/lock, or is it a facade and just for show and inoperable?
