Restricted Area by grammyn

Restricted Area

@orangecrush chose UrbEx for the One Night Stand challenge today. I don't live in a real "urb" area and am not really into "ex" activities but today because of Jerry and 365 I pushed myself! I discovered an area less than 5 minutes from my house that I have passed a gazillion times in the last 20 years and have never really noticed before! There was a road I had NEVER seen and so I followed it. The restricted area sign did not deter me and I pushed on to get several shots for the challenge! I chose this one to best depict the experience.

Aren't you brave! Good job on challenging yourself! I would have been too chicken. It does look like a forbidden kind of place!

@vskolnik LOL! I was thinking what an amazing place this is to force me to get out of my comfort zone and grow in my experiences. Thanks for that support, Vee! It means so much to me!

That's my sis! :) Getting to be quite a little rebel, aren't you?! Love the shot... the "urban-ness" of it as well as the great composition... :)

@lesip I imagine you are in an area with a little more opportunity for that! I KNOW you are more adventuresome than I am!

How exciting, Katy! I loved your story! I think that is one of the things I love about 365 is it makes me go places I never would have or notice things I would have just passed by! Love your shot! Great textures and rust!

Katy, this project has taken us through paths we had not visited before, and has kept our eyes open. Wonderful capture. Definitely it is a "restricted area" and those holes in the door with the chain and lock, work better than any fancy lock.

after this adventure the CIA might be recruiting you...be careful Secret Agent Katy

@smithak Thanks, Smitha! there is just enough "chicken" in this old lady to not take crazy risks. This was not much of a risk at all really! I am so glad you like my shot! ;~}
March 25th, 2013
