You already know from several of my previous posts that Mission San Xavier del Bac south of Tucson, Arizona is beautiful with doors that are the same. Now you can see that they also have attractive gates. The design on this first one is purely Southwest.

This one is more church-related but after all, it is a mission. 🙂

The last gate isn’t remarkable, but the surrounding entryway definitely appeals and I liked the way the whole photo set up. Don’t go running out that gate at night (or any time) without looking where you’re going. Cacti are very unforgiving!


Lovely
Everything there was.
A variety of metal gates are great doors!
Thanks, Frank.
Those are really nice gates. That’s a prickly deterrent right in front of the last one!
Yes, you want to be careful entering or exiting there. 😉
Wonderful patterns. The last image is beautiful especially.
I couldn’t resist that shot.
I love the style of these gates. The final photo really makes me stop and thing. The sky behind it is so beautiful.
That’s one thing about Arizona. There’s almost always a beautiful sky behind whatever you’re looking at as you well know.
Wonderful doors Janet 😀
Thanks, Cee.
Years ago, when we lived in SoCal, we visited the many missions and how I wish I were photographing doors then! These you have here take me back to that time.
I’m glad to bring back some good memories. ❤️
Beautiful gates and those blue skies! We could use some of those here…(K)
I think quite a bit of the US could use blue skies right now!
These metal gates are so stunning. Anita
Thanks very much, Anita. An unusual gate is always good to find.

Lots of neat patterns in these gates. That last shot is pretty cool with the saguaro standing guard.
I’d love to have a fancy gate, Nancy, so I enjoyed seeing these.
Very attractive photos and nice gates!
Thanks very much, Brenda. I enjoyed the variety of the gate designs.
These gates are beautiful.
I thought so too and a nice variety.
Oh yes it is!
The quilter in me likes the clamshell design on #2 but they’re all great!
I’m glad you enjoyed them. . I know I did.
Great gates! Thank you, Janet!
Always glad when you enjoy a post, Resa. 🙂
