Fri Dec 31, 2010 6:01 pm You may use your interpretation of Gates and Gateways, such as Vestibules, Portals, Entrances and Doors, but please use FRESH shots taken for this Challenge. If you live in the city, alleys, docks and entrances to parks are all gateways!
Please! No old images.
Also, remember the Challenge is about interaction. Please try to comment on other's work. Please don't use this forum just to showcase your images.
