to put up a fence and keep me out
Or keep mother nature in ..."
This week's song is "signs" by five man electrical band.
There is a beautiful PUBLIC park ... just a hop, skip and a jump away ... that is home to an absolutely stunning Japanese garden.
But far too often when I take a photowalk down to the preserve ... I discover the gates closed and locked.
I am only able to peer in at a distance with my long lens ... not being able to fully enjoy its beauty.
What gives them the right to keep such public beauty locked up behind such a gate?

This was gorgeous! I love photographing and fencing and gates - how beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou are right - a closed gate is just as overbearing and imposing as a worded sign holding you down or holding you back. This is a beautiful entry.

Gates always fascinate me. This is a beautiful one, and your edit makes it even more lovely. Great take on this song!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful entryway to this garden. It would be frustrating to go there & find it locked. - Love your processing on this.
ReplyDeleteThat's a gorgeous gate! It is sad that we are often kept from enjoying things. There are so many places that I have wanted to explore, but it was off limits.
ReplyDeleteA most wonderful gate and you are right , what gives them the right to lock the garden?? Everyone should enjoy its beauty.
ReplyDeleteLove your photo and processing! Wonder what that is about locking a public park, very weird.
