Of course it's a door! Great find and capture. The backlighting on the flowers is great, and love the starburst sun, too. #1487417Mitch Spence September 20, 2012
Glad you stopped, Bob, and that you weren't rear ended when you hit the brakes. Beautiful sun flare and slanting morning light on this natural door and welcoming flowers. #10330503Neal D. Hatcher September 20, 2012
