With a few pieces of lumber and some deck screws, I made a new gate to replace the one that collapse on us earlier this year. I had called or visited most of the fencing places in the area and found they only had three-rail style gates. It seems that the housing developers and homeowners assocaitions in new developments have decreed that only three-rail fences are allowed and thus the disappearance of gates to match our old fence.
Here is the old gate still on the other side of the house that will also be replaced soon.
And with this post I am staring a new theme Gates and alleys, which will appear here from time to time. Downtown Frederick has some interesting gates and alleys and I will post some shots of them.

I began this blog in 2008 after I retired. My main interest is photography and so most posts will contain photos, along with brief comments or explanations. I participate in several weekly blogs and occasionally post my own recurring themes. Occasionally I throw in comments, kudos or complaints about the world situation. Links to my other two blogs are below the "Disclaimer".

I am retired, married to a smart, talented lady who once thought we computer people were geeks and now is one of us geeks. I have a long time interest in photography. We live in Maryland, about 50 miles from Washington, DC.
My main camera is a Nikon D3100 with two zoom lenses (18-55 and 55-200).
