Nothing is more Welcoming ...

It seems a rather imposing fence, especially with the sign; great find and nice capture, Norm :-)

Thanks Valerie! :-)

nothing more inviting than a closed fence! and that's a pretty cool fence! You only need a permit to take a picture of a human... no humans, no permit!

In theory ... that is true, but this is also the place I got kicked out of for taking pictures of flowers.

what the hell? really? you tell them you have been kicked out of better places!

Yes ... minimum wage rent-a-cops. I complained to the Mayor and got an apology and an invitation back, but I suspect had I had time to shoot flowers I would have gotten kicked out again.

Der Zaun darf kostenlos portraitiert werden! Ich mag den Schriftzug im Zaun!

Thanks Chrissy!

Sunken barrier!

Here's the start of a very nice abstract Norm! ;0))

Well done!

Thanks Paul! The other half of the gate ... said, "garden".

Excellent find !

Thanks Jan! :-)

Very nice photo. It kind of leaves you with a sunken feeling though doesn't it Norm? ;)

Thanks Karen! Yes ... it does! :-)

It doesn't seem very welcoming with the big fencing and signs. Great find and capture for this weeks challenge.

Thanks Harriet!

Good composition =)

Thanks Sami!

Great find, well taken!

Thanks Gillian!

It's permitted to photograph the fence! ;-D

Great find and capture for the challenge!

Oh ... the security guard was heading my way when I left. :-)

I do hope the gardens are nicer than the welcome . . .

The gardens are quite nice ... I'm not very big on shooting flowers though.

Well spotted Norm ... a permit for taking photos ... whatever next! :(

Everyone wants a cut of the pie!

sURKen Garden !?

lol

Yes ... very much so!

Certainly not the most welcoming place is it? Great curves to the fence though. Glad you captured them in the shot ... URK to the sign!!

As Val mentioned you are on your way to an natural abstract ... just a crop of the upper section above the top of the trees would produce a abstract nicely. :)

Thanks Chis! I think you guys have a better vision than I do! :-)

Oh URK, that section above the trees would not meet the challenge, when I re read the challenge it's about abstracts created by nature ... duh on my part sorry. On the discussion thread for this weeks challenge there are some good links as to what Wendi and Harriet are talking about. Sorry for the confusion. :)

I went out and tried to shoot abstracts last night, but it's really not my thing! It's going to take a little work I think! :-)

Good looking co ... there's a look no on the discussion page that could give you some ideas. :)

Fine composition. And both the sign and fence tell everyone they aren't really welcome.

Many thanks! :-)

many questions, a fence with a story

Many thanks! :-)

Great capture.

Thanks Don! :-)
