No, it's not another political scandal, just an ornate wrought iron gate!

Thank you all so much.
Winner?
I accept that as high praise from you, Carolyn and Kathleen.
I should have added that this was photographed with an infrared filter.
I tried it in color and desaturated it, but I didn't care for it as much.
regards,
