Is this a tree or is this an entrance? It is an entrance, of course. Just a climbing plant gone bananas. Wonderful. A double opening gate. I do like the gate and fence panels.
Another gate that hides its entrance well. You know, I have a suspicion that the climber is the exact same as the above entrance. It has a prolific growth. Nice wood panelling gate. The cut out panels of the gate, above the handle, allow vision from both sides.
This entrance has a different look altogether. The ageing top heavy vine does hide the top of the steel entrance. Looks like a jasmine or something similar. I have always liked this particular scroll work on top of the gate. We have a smaller gate in the middle of our side fence, which is identical. The days gone by when neighbours actually had gates between the houses. Our gate is rusty and still looks wonderful with its rusty coloured scroll work. My maternal grandparents had two side gates, one for each neighbour. I remember using them to drop items off or retrieve items shared, as a child, while visiting George and Lucy. Which is what we call them now, as we are in the grandparent age ourselves!!
