Continuing this series of digitally enhanced photographs I return to a subject covered back in September 2024 when I posted about the traditional five bar gate. This particular one is fairly close to home (Newton Lane for local followers) and is of the design which has remained unchanged for hundreds of years.
“I could happily lean on a gate all the livelong day, chatting to passers-by about the wind and the rain. I do a lot of gate-leaning while I am supposed to be gardening; instead of hoeing, I lean on the gate, stare at the vegetable beds and ponder.” Tom Hodgkinson.
And another five bar gate, this time in Calke Abbey parkland.
