grand entrance

We've passed this imposing tall gateway to a private estate more than once on our travels in Dorset. This time the GPS took us a different route towards it and Ray was able to stop at a Give Way sign so I could take a shot out of the car window.

Looks very grand indeed. Do you have your camera on your lap as you are driven around, just in case?

It's usually within reach! This time in my bag on the floor by my feet. One of the (many) reasons I like a p&s.

[Graham Thresher]

Great shot. We only live about 20 minutes from there.

@richardcreese

Thanks! I'd love to know that too - the archway is absolutely so tall!

[Karin Hirsch]

How nice of you to take a shot of me. A 'Hirsch' is the figure on top of the gate.

Oh thank you - I'm always learning something on here - have to see if I can work that new bit of vocab into the next German meeting, maybe I'll show some of my holiday pics!
