Stone Pillars, Iron Gate

Gate to an old estate

This is the entrance to an estate that looks to be still intact,  not broken up into smaller lots that have been sold off. But this is in an area where lots of "old money"  still owns property.

A longer view

An attractive entrance, don't you agree?

    I just can't imagine living in a house with a huge gate like this... but it is very impressive.

    Sure is a good fence and lovely gate. The splash of red makes the shot interesting.

    Thats a nice combination of colours and textures - and I think it does say a 'old money' rather well!!

    Well, I'm glad that you finally got some photos of the gate of our summer home. We tend to go to Florida in the winter, but make sure that someone puts a red ribbon on the gate.

    I think a gate and gateposts in front of a house, whether it's a posh mansion or something a bit more humble, gives a residence a lot of character and a certain look of "don't mess with me" look!

    This is just the sort of gate used in old horror movies as an entrance to a spooky old house. Great picture.

    With a gate like that, I'm sure there is an equally impressive house inside. Very nice!

    I'm still grinning at Lowell's comment.
    The first shot is especially well framed. Sometimes the scale of "old money" amazes me. Well, new money, too.
