Gate in old rubbish dump

The remains of the old, original house on our block have been piled up in one area. We've been gradually reusing or burning bits and pieces. This old gate still has its original hand-made hinges.

Nice rusty and wooden textures

Low key nicely done. On my sparkles shot look at about 2 o'clock - but don't tell anyone!!!!

[Delwyn Barnett]

That really tells a story. Do you know how old the original house would have been?

@shilohmom Hi Batya - all just discarded in the forest.

@fbailey Thanks FB - they sure made good hinges then - it's all lovely and rusty but otherwise as good as new. :)

@suzanne234 Hi Suzanne - I'd hate to guess how old that wood is - probably back towards the middle of last century...

@granagringa Thanks Madelaine - forest lighting is so good for shadows.

@dkbarnett Hi Delwyn - We think the old bits and pieces probably came from the original structure built on the property when it was allocated to a returned soldier after WW1. There were 2 old wood burning stoves - so I guess it would take about that long to use them so much that you discarded them. It's very interesting. Cheers Rob
