Woking Town ~ Ornate Gates ~ Photography 📷
As Today is Thursday, now is the perfect time to Up-Load my personal Photograph Entry to the amazing @PHOTOTALENT Photography Contest! My entry below 📷
The photographs below are of the large steel gates that mark the entrance to Woking Town centre, which is the most local town to where I live in Surrey, England, United Kingdom. The gates only open when vehicles need to enter the pedestrianised areas, so they are only opened occasionally for general maintenance and repair work. Artistically, I personally think they are beautiful and huge in size, adding a nice feature to the Town generally I believe.
I admit that i'm NOT a Professional Photographer, simply sharing some of my photos on the #WhaleShares & #Steemit Platforms of my Travels and Life experiences to make you Smile 😁
Just SMILE with me! and be HAPPY 😃 #TmSmile (Team Smile) √

Beautiful gate, but it's a little strange, like they're trying to bring "traffic calming" to pedestrians - or deliberately steer them towards those using the ATMs...
Well basically, it's just a pretty way of stopping cars from mistakenly diving into the pedestrianised Town Centre 😀 I guess! √ Thanks for commenting @viking-ventures 👍
Whatever works. :-)
At least they came up with a pretty way to do it. Nicer than bollards, anyway.
I used to live in Hants and Wilts (different times, obviously), so, I've been through Woking, but never stopped. I'm sure a lot of people do that.
Yeah, Woking is a small town LOL :)
I've been known to go to small towns just for the heckuvit.
When we were in Newbury, we took the train to Bedwyn just to see what was there - and ended up visiting the steam pump there!
Another time, when I was in Warminster, I drove down to Yeovil for the heckuvit... Ended up buying a dresser/sideboard and having it delivered 75 quid the lot. :)
Sometimes, I really miss English life - especially with the trains. Imperfect as they are, they were there - and I could go so many places.
I really like that decoration on the doors, excellent photography
