Just a photo. Just a gate, an old gate. This old gate led somewhere. Somewhere where people had hopes, aspirations and sadness. It is a history lost.

@Helen: but there is alway time to have hope and aspirations again and therefor make a 'new' history. Thanks for your visits and comments, I do appreciate it a lot!
A simple photo of a simple gate. Had you posted that photo under a different title I bet you would have gotten a totally different reaction. Yet you used the words "Just a Gate" which in turn inspired all those who looked at it. I don't see 'just a gate', I see an entrance or an exit. Did it keep things in or hold things back? Is it well used or unused and neglected? The image teases with mystery. Just a gate? I don't think so. I think it is so much more.

@Dornbrau: Thanks for your response. I like al the different reactions on this picture and title. I can imagine that for most people this is just a gate. I was intrigued with it for several reasons (it's beautiful and not standard in this area and it's old so you can imagine a long history...). It's great to reed the different things that come to people's minds.
