Great photo! Had I known about all these neat places in Fredricksburg, I would have stopped to see them instead of driving right through.

This is a great image. The sepia tone gives the image a ghost-town feel which is classic! Perhaps a very slight rotation counter clock-wise to really level off the horizontals - still a fantastic picture.

with the one gate open, it seems like an omnious invitation inside.

It looks like it's saying come on in! Inviting yet not quite so either. Like the sepia addition.

I wouldn't want to go there at night, but I bet there are some really interesting stones in there.

very intersting shot ... really like the sepia and the way the gate is open in an 'inviting' sort of way!!! .. love those trees balancing/framing the gate as well .. image could be a bit tilted .. which brings me to how ppl often say they've rotated an image ... when i rotate an entire image i have to then crop it, and often lose the composition the way i wanted it .. i wonder if there's another way?? .. cant imagine there is, but i'll put it out there anyway .......
