This is the moment I step through and begin once again. Michelle Hattier
I discovered a beautiful wine cellar door but was not tall enough so asked Graham and he would take the shot. When I went to crop the image this evening I asked "where is the padlock"? expecting something fancy and he said it was very modern looking, made of metal so spoilt the look! HA, -Oh well, when you are short you miss these things. ~Pat and Graham

Pat, you had great eyes to spot this old wine cellar door...and Graham you captured it just superbly, too!! Just as well you noticed that modern-looking padlock and removed it, though, for the photograph - lol!! The textures, light, selective focus, tones, pov and composition here all are excellent, so well done you two!! :o) We heard from Marg and John tonight that you five, including Cindy, had a wonderful day out today, too!! ;o) #8534313

My mother and dad had this style of furniture in the 70's in our home. It was called Mediterranean. I loved it and wish they still had it. It's ageless and beautiful to me! Wish Mom was still here too. She passed away 25 years ago today. (April 14th, 1985)

This is a wonderful image, Big Sis.
