Against the light

My get pushed challenge from Harry, @hjbenson, was 'to take a photo of historical architecture from a non-standard point-of-view'.

Well, this lychgate is historical architecture I would think. The point of view is maybe not unusual, but I liked the sunray lighting it. Almost SOOC, upped the contrast a little.

It's thought to be built in 1698. This is what I found on the internet about it:
'The gate is set in the churchyard wall [St Beuno Church]. It is built of rubble stonework with a slate roof between coped gables on kneelers. Five external rounded steps raise the path to the through passage, closed externally by boarded timber gates with strap hinges set in an outer rebate, the gateposts rising to a high cross transom and inserted plank arch. Within the passage, timber seats each side. On the SW gable end, a slate carrying an heraldic displayed eagle on a lozenge, and the inscription MRS A M E JONES / O'R PARKIAU A RODD / YR ADEILAD HON / 1698 / PAM OEDD / H JONES RECTOR / W WYNE ESQ R IOHN WADENIED.'
@hjbenson thanks for the challenge!

I think this is very effective too. The light is the key factor, and it creates the beauty of the shot. Fav
