Hi everyone, Would you like to participate in the Weekly Photo Challenge? Just take a photo that is your interpretation of the theme and post it in this thread. The rules are rather simple.
- Your photo(s) should be your own, i.e., they should not have been taken by someone else.
- Photoshopping is allowed but should be kept to the basics only rather than a total transformation.
- Grab your camera, experiment, and, most of all, have fun. |

Thanks for the theme Sepiana. I've been trying to find these gates for several years now and coming up empty even though I had a pretty good idea of where they are. With the challenge as an incentive I went out again today, determined to not come home empty-handed. Thanks to a couple clues from neighbor who was out walking his dogs ... voila!  |

That's quite a gate, Bill! Garden at a local park....with a reminder on the gate. Please close to keep out the bunnies.   |

Not sure if these are classed as gates. I would say they are both flood gates. Taken today at the River Tees, and white water course.   |

Not a big choice of gates around here so I'll go with a field gate - looks like it's been a while since it was used as a gate!  Tony |

Bill, this takes top honors for gate originality. Your persistence paid off. What a finding! |

This is my own front gate. I live in a gated community right next to a river. We all feel very safe and secure. Matthew Matthew, your gated community looks so peaceful! Despite the gate being closed, it still looks inviting. The viewer is invited to a safe and secure place. |

Helen, I like the 2nd shot. The viewers are drawn through the open gate to the buildings in the background. Nice composition! |

Weston Favell Lock Gates, not nice weather 😒 Jim, it’s interesting to see lock gates in this kind of setting. Nice shot (considering the weather was not cooperating). |
