Love a Gate, Except When Shut

So many half and half opportunities today at RHS Wisley, might use them later in the week.

Very nice composition and light

[Mags]

Beautiful!

[Susan Wakely]

Why do things look more interesting when you are not allowed in?

[Sally Ings]

I like the mystery created by the closed gate. What are the large white flowers on the right?

[Shutterbug]

I think it’s because of the mystery. Beautiful shot with the flowers on the right and the closed off path to a clearing.

FAV Such a pretty choice of composition and I called the flowers and they closed off path.

[Jacqueline]

Beautiful capture

[haskar]

Lovely capture.

[Lin]

[Cazzi]

Looks like a very pretty place and so much colour.

[Dawn]

A lovely scene

[Carrie Shepeard]

What a beautiful shot. Fav

[LManning (Laura)]

Beautiful composition. Such an inviting scene!

[Kathy]

The gate hints at secrets beyond. How lovely the shrubs in bloom are and everything is so green and lush.

[Valerie Chesney]

such an inviting entrance & I so like gates too...especially when they ' are open.' Looks to be lovely inside those gates.

Sally think they're rhodedendrons, which were amazingly fine after the day before's gales.

Should I have brightened this a bit? But it was a dull damp morning

[moni kozi]

I wouldn't brighten it. It's rendering a mood as it is. A melancholic feel to it.

[Shutterbug]

@salza They look like rhododendrons to me.

[Sally Ings]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond @shutterbug49 I did wonder if that's what they were. We don't really get them around where I live - our weather is not what they like it's much too dry and hot.
