Fire Ruins Of An Old Home
Fireplace and Old Shed
Gateway to the Past
Last Saturday we took a ride looking for photo opportunities and my never ending quest for wildlife :). Again no wildlife!!!! I did find an old home's ruins cause by a fire that caught my eye.

My grandfather had a gate entrance, similar to this, leading into his front yard from the front drive. I always liked this style of entrance, more so than the use of arbor style entrances or simple gate with no overhead. And your pictured gate may have a chain with a weight, rather than a spring of some sort, for its closing. Someone should preserve the gate with side-posts, instead of leaving it to fade into the past.
Nicely seen, Betty. I especially like the gate. Did you try playing with it in sepia, or fading the color to look like an old-time color photo? I'd love to see those versions. ~Vicki
Now that is a rustic scene. There are several locations around here where all that is left is the chimney...those bricks are quite stout! The gate is a very nice and simple composition that does a great job in establishing a mood. Both are very good.
A new world open to me with my photography. Encompassing the beauty, colors, shading and lighting of what I see around me, I never noticed before photography.
I am fortunate, receiving extensive mentoring, helping me learn the fine techniques of photography. Learning has been an on going progress I am enjoying and plan to continue.
Using my Canon 7D and 7D MarkII, along with assorted lens, filters and programs. I enjoy exploring, capturing images of scenery, flowers, nature, events, travels and people. Many of my photos are taken of our beautiful state, New Hampshire and surrounding New England states.

Love shots like those...especially the gateway. I'd like to see it a little bigger...maybe with a phrase on it? It speaks volumes alone too...

I love the gateway one, I'd like to see it in color.
Excellent shot!

Isn't it something how something like that can be beautiful?

The gate is an example of excellent contrast of a B/W! I viewed your round about NH in Flickr and enjoyed them greatly! mark
