Niiice! It must be so great to have such a target rich environment right in your back yard. (Can you tell I'm jealous?)

I like that design very much. Thanks for focusing on that.

Lovely arch, Robin. I love how the wrought iron is weather-worn in places, makes for interesting colours.
Another great capture.

It would be nice to have such rich variation of things to photograph nearby.

Lo-ver-ly! There's an 'edge' to your photos, I don't know how to describe it, almost sparkle? which make many of them seem larger than life. I thought it was the sun in Israel perhaps, but since the photos of Dublin and Howth have it too, it must be your technique or pixel count or skill? It really makes your photos leap off the screen though, I think.

The arch is stunning! The metal work is lovely.

I love the "engraved" stone behind the top of the wrought iron arch. It looks like a rose?

Ironwork is always such a good subject in photography. A nice composition in the placement or arrangement of visual elements.

Doors and windows work well too.
