Last
Sunday I went for a brief drive on ECR (east coast road), with one of my visiting cousin and the
other who drive me always, and as a part of ride, I come across few by-lanes
(between VGP and ECR Link Rd) that led to private beaches. I like visiting
these lanes from very long back, and I enjoy the quietness and isolation
provided by these lanes, all lead to deserted beaches. Couple of times, during the days I used
caliper shoe, I went there to practice some walk in the empty roads and have taken
trails in my power wheelchair when it was newly bought.
It’s
been long time I checked these lanes and beaches, so decided to do it in the
afternoon of Sunday. As we turned into one of the lane, I was left in awe to
see the road that were once pretty, was almost damaged (due to work on
underground drainage) and looked uneven to drive. But I enjoyed doing off-road on
the cut across road in our mini cooper (Suzuki Swift) and spent some time on
the end of sandy beach. I find at least a couple of eatery, ice-cream vendor
and a balloon shooting at the end of few lanes that open to beach.
While
come back from one of the lanes, I suddenly got an idea why not capture some of
the gates on the lane to use at the good fences meme. There are many farm houses
and private guesthouses on these lanes, and each enclosed with a pretty/neat/variant
gate for each of the entrance. I captured about 10 gates, but all from the slowly
moving car as I hesitate to halt in front of each gate and to be not warned by
the watchmen or captured by the CCTV! So only half the photos came out decently
to share here:

oh, these are beautiful gates and entrances! thank you, jeevan!!
A great collection of so many styles!
What lovely gates!
Wow, excellent choices for fencing images. They are all wonderful. My personal favorite is the first fence.
You've captured a nice variety of gates here. I'm glad you can still get to the beach along these lanes. Too often beac access is denied by gates.
So you had a fine day out :)
My favourite is the picket style gate :))
Have a wonderful day

Such a wonderful array of different gate entrances. I think my favorite is the first one but then I was also drawn to the white picket gate.
They are all such great gates. I would hope you police are not that touchy for you to be taking photos of things. I am sure they would question you for intent.
Great for the Good Fences Meme, Jeevan... Love all of the gates....
AND--I'm so glad that you were able to get out.. That beach sounds wonderful.
Hugs,

Hi Jeevan,
These are some fancy gates and compound walls - wow! Does Silver Sands still exist? I have been there once or twice.
I like the placement of your copyright on the pillar of the compound wall in picture # 4. The Kolam in picture # 5 is very nice - hopefully, hand-drawn :)
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
i am thinking about the lane which has these calm and beautiful gates
Happy Holi
