'Gate' and a catch-up

Just a quick post to catch up with HerSpace:MySpace. Today's prompt from Anita is 'gate'. When I saw it I knew just the pic. I took this last year, not long after I got my DSLR. It's the gate of former methodist chapel near where I live. Here's my SPS from Saturday. It's my OH on the steps of the Ritz Hotel in Madrid. I'd like to say we stopped there, but the budget would only stretch to afternoon tea.
And here is the afternoon tea. Not a great pic, I struggled to get a decent shot because of the light. It didn't help that I forgot to alter the settings on the camera and just shot in auto (you live and learn; you also learn quite a bit about photoshop in cases like this :) )


Finally an SOS - nothing exciting but I just love where it is. (It's Petanoi Bay on Kefalonia)

Cheers,
