Description
the gatean entrance or an exit? you decide.
i am always attracted to gates, always alluding to the mystery of what they hold...even if locked and bolted, they beckon for your entry.
shot with holga, scanned, digitally darkroomed in photoshop.
full view please...it's worth the time.

I love how you cut the edges really well done and you've choosen the right place...
