Carmel! My husband had to go to Carmel for an appointment this afternoon, so I tagged along to take photos (171. . .). Carmel is beautiful and picturesque to say the least! I have dozens of shots of beautiful flowers, windows, and walkways, but the image that seemed the strongest to me today was this simple closeup of the top of a garden gate. I can’t really defend this choice other than- I just like it!

And it is a great choice. This is very effective and the bokeh is nice!
Love the bokeh, and love the rusted gate. Good choice for a photo.
