All Locked Up


The padlock on the postbox, an ornate gate, a closed door, and just to make sure all is safe, a slate and stone wall.  Truly a Englishman's home is his castle. Go no further Mr Postman.  Then again there is another way of looking at it, as Virginia Wolf did, 

"I thought how unpleasant it is to be locked out, and I thought it is worse, perhaps, to be locked in".

Just the right thought as we approach Halloween and think of all those stories of dark spooky houses.

Quite an intimidating but fascinating sight! This is ultimate privacy! And the greyness of the wall and soft light create an atmosphere of mystery! Great photo!

Enjoy your weekend!
