I have had a couple of moon gates in my inventory for several years, now. They’ve been out, on occasion, but not for a while. I realised I had the perfect place for them, the other day, a junction where three paths meet, in my garden, below my home…

… the function of moon gates is to frame the view, or lead you into the scene…

… I thought a moon gate looking into a scene with another moon gate…

… looking into a scene with a torii gate, would be pretty interesting…

… the gates do a wonderful job of making what was basically a bland intersection…

… into a far more mysterious place, where you don’t know what’s in that direction…

… till you can actually see through the gate…

… and everything looks far more interesting framed by a stone circle…

… I love the contemplative nature of this view. It’s extremely relaxing, just sitting here, listening to the birds and looking through the gates.
