Please excuse me if I don't get to comment people's images some days but I've had to return to a work life rather than become a pensioner as I had planned due cost of living and the tax man wanting a lump of my pension. I am making an effort to return to AM3 after a bit of an absence, it's really nice to see photo's from all contributors and I will try to comment when I can. If I offer criticism I do so only to help and I do not wish to cause offence. My photography tends to be from my travels, as well as my passion which is wildlife and landscape. I hope you enjoy what you see.
Thanks for your comments I'm really grateful for them and welcome constructive feedback.

An interesting gate. Keeps others, except pedestrians behind.

An inviting PoV through the gate to the oasis full of refreshing skies and verdant hues! A perfect choice for the weekly prompt. I learned what a kissing gate is today. Thanks for the lesson. :-)

I love it! So invitingly endless perspective. I have heard of that place even as remote I am here behind the beyond here in Montana. You composed that so well. The rich sunlit green to me an eye- arresting focus....everything is brown and white here now. I only walked through the gate as an afterthought. It's like a revolving door without the revolve. It must be ancient.

I have not heard the term "kissing gate," but it fits the function
