A Howling Storm, Cont. The Old Red Farmhouse Gate

The Old Red Farmhouse Gate

The old Red farmhouse gate down the right is one of the elegant architectural survivors around here, the design and construction of the gate has more artistry than most modern housing developments incorporate into all of their houses combined. It was once the carriage gate to the gracious farmhouse looming in the back, the gate is closed off now, the farmhouse has a modern driveway in the back, the gate has not been opened in many years, I imagine.

Still, it is the rightful gate, it speaks for itself, it is proud and dignified still, years after it was closed off for asphalt. In our world, we can just be grateful it has been permitted to survive.
