Closer view

We came across this neighborhood one evening on our way back home from a supermarket, and I was so intrigued by a gate I wanted to go back and see more. It’s not as upscale a neighborhood as the one I photographed last year, but I always find it interesting to see how people live here.

Yet another unusual gate. I like the shape here. There is also a more modernistic feel to this. V

Beautifully designed gates - I wonder if access is electronically controlled - no security guard !! V

I loved Regine´s comment....And your capture of that beautiful entrance is just lovely.V

Very different entrance. All these buildings look brand new to me. Architecture of the future with plenty of freedom of form and space. It makes me wonder why there is the need for high walls, bollards, and window completely encased with grates. Are they expecting and invasion?
