I have a fascination with gates, doors, posts, fences and walls .. just in case you haven't noticed yet . They often find themselves to be the the focus of my shot. I'm not sure what I like most about them, but while in England last year I was treated to some great subjects.

| All the farmers fields have access to them via these gates, So nice to be able to walk around without giant NO trespassing signs everywhere. Field Gate 1 |
 |
| Field Gate 2 |
 |
| This style of getting over the fence, brings back a lot of childhood memories. Field Gate 3 |
 |
| Not as pretty as the others, but functionable. Field Gate 4 |
 |
| Wooden Version , of the swinging gate design . Field gate 5 |
 |
| No gate at all really , just an access path . |
 |
| Your even allowed to walk through the cow fields :)) Field gate 6 |
 |
| This one just had a certain rustic charm about it . |

Next set will be of the hike I took yesterday , was a great hike/photo shoot that ended in me spending 2 hours digging my truck out of the heavy snow :))
Hi, Rich, I had missed this post. Your gates and college building pics. are absolutely delightful. Gate #3 with the "step" of sorts to climb over - we came across and used this type of access while hiking in Germany a couple of summers ago. We never once saw a sign warning us "No Trespassing". Of course, maybe there was such a sign - in German - and we didn't understand it. LOL!!! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lindy :)) Ill be sure to sort thru the rest and post some more :)
ReplyDeleteThe walkways and bridleways around my home town are all public access, as far as Im aware the farmers are obligated to leave a path , and the hikers are obligated to stay on that path and not mess with the crops. Works really well.
This is a lovely album and it's also lovely to hear about the "etiquette" between farmers and hikers.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely and reminds me of my old home in North Yorkshire. Thanks for sharing : )
ReplyDeleteJust love the pictures!
