Through the gates

Description

This was taken while walking fown the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. I discovered more little alleyways than I knew existed and found this little gem of a place at the end one of them.

Oliver and Boyd are publishers in Edinburgh, though not sure if this still belongs to them.

Not an easy shot to pull off Lynne, and you do it well. We are looking into the sun, and yet you give us a clear image. The textures work well especially using the gate as a frame. Peace, karen #421892

Mary C. Legg August 08, 2006

love the framing and the detail of the ironwork-- I've tried many times to take a pic like this and not yet succeeded. gats and doorways fascinate me-- lead me off into mystery zones--and the framing here is very baroque, a box within a box, teasing us to go further into the picture. very nice #3137132
