Iron gate



Just a picture of an iron gate I saw downtown.
There are iron gates way more intricate than this one all over Mexico

  1. not sure if it's the same in hong kong and in mexico, i happen to find older buildings have more interesting iron gates, with the very unique patterns and colour combinations!

  2. In India too...Every house in India has this huge gate before entering the main door of the house. They are in different colors and with more intricate designs too.

  3. Hey Karumen & B. thanks for your comments!
    Karumen, in Mexico the old buildings have wooden doors with some iron work integrated in them and the newest homes (or not super old homes) have iron gates with intricate designs and a lot of sharp pointy edges to keep unwelcome people away :) but they gates are also for decorative purposes.

    B. almost every home in Mexico has some kind of iron gate, or iron window protection for security reasons, they are quite a few that are very colorful and they make the streets look much nicer :)
