Edington Priory Church Gate

You often find this with gates: the hardware is not mounted straight; screws are missing, or replaced by non-matching unsympathetic screws; even, as in this case, the hardware is wider than the post on which it is mounted. Here the carpenter shaved off the left-hand side of the post to match the bevels on three other sides. Yet someone has driven screws into the shaved edge rather than get a smaller latch which would make a better fit.

Very nice details

I like the contrast of ultra-sharp details of post, screws, latch ...with the seemingly insubstantial world it rests on.

Thanks for that. I have asked myself the question, why spend time using an ancient lens on a camera with a non-too-bright viewfinder and no manual focussing aids when life could be easier, and results more assured? I really don't know the answer, but I keep doing it.
