Gated community


You do not see a lot of gated communities here in Berlin. The open gate was rather inviting and I would have liked to see that sculpture in the background. But despite the welcoming gate, I didn't dare to go inside! 

It's Friday again. Do you have any big plans for the weekend? If the weather holds, you'll find me on the golf course. Whatever your plans are, don't forget to visit Friday Fences for more gates and such.

  2. It is pretty! I'm not sure I would have been able to resist going in though.

  3. There is something intimidating about going in a gate even if it is open. It is a lovely gate.

    1. Especially in Germany! People here can be really mean and they are sticklers for following the rules.

  4. I agree with Lois; I wold have tried to look innocent and then look around. I think the gate is very lovely and I think you did a good job photographing it.

  5. Had there been a bench inside, I would have waled through, sat down and pretended to be waiting for someone while taking in the view.
    I could live behind a beautiful gate like this one.

  7. It's a beautiful gate - and interesting that the left and right sides don't match...or, does the paneling of the open gate do that?
    I hate to be an obnoxious tourist, but I'd find it hard to resist a quick peek at the sculpture.

    1. I had not really noticed the two sides were different until you pointed that out. Maybe the iron worker who created it wanted to show all his skills!

  8. I really like this, it looks so inviting! Here in Montreal I have seen several gated properties, and one of them had a couple of cement lions and a gorgeous fountain! Wow! Of course, though, the gate was locked! :) I hope you enjoy your time golfing.

  11. It's a pretty gate. I like how when the door of the gate is against the side of the gate, the pattern changes...and still looks good.

  12. That's pretty...and yes, tempting to go inside and view everything a bit closer.

  14. Always get a kick outta gates. They keep people in or out. I'm confused.

  15. Wouldn't it be nice to have an entry like this. Very elegant.

  16. It is an open gate, after all...

  17. Stunning gate! I love the iron work. I enjoyed, by the way, seeing the old mining buildings in CO. I think those empty houses were probably for the supervisors and bosses. They were pretty big. I would LOVE to live RIGHT THERE! :-) Have a great weekend.
