To follow up the last post on sheep gates in the Western Isles, Scotland, I have closed in and put together a selection photographs illustrating how these gates are fastened. Their hinges, locks, and make-do tie-ups have as much, if not more, variety and colour than the gates themselves.
The detail in their colour, form and texture, their patina, shows many years of wear and tear. And this is just a very small sample, there are thousands more out there. Fascinating.
