This is the iron gate of a very old cemetery on Neilson St. In fact, it was so old that I saw a grave of someone born in 1802! I didn't have any particular reason behind taking this photo. I guess I just liked that it was old. Sometimes in the midst of all the redevelopment in the city, you forget that the old stuff wasn't all bad.
Nice photo in black and white and it even makes that fence look older.
ReplyDeleteOld things are not bad: they are history.

the old stuff definitely speaks of history...nice perspective...nice shot
ReplyDeleteThis tie's in perfectly with my postings today, I like these wrought iron fences.
ReplyDeleteI had a friend who was an artist and he used old wrought iron fences a lot in his drawings, alas he died in fire at home.
