#17 Gate /#18 Hidden From View

This locked gate kept many out of a cemetery on the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts.  But a nice young lady in a school uniform showed me where there was another entrance that was not locked.

And when I went into the church I found another nice lady who told me that a few people climb up the 80 stairs to the top of the bell tower to take photographs overlooking the whole city.   So she unlocked the door for me and I began to climb.  Before threw open the trap door to go out on to the very top. I took this shot in the darkness and discovered the bell and some nice colors in the bell chamber.  30 seconds at f22 with an ND filter and ISO f22.   

A2 - Christmastime

Joanne absolutely loves Christmas; it's her favorite holiday.  The bins full of decorations came down out of the attic and storage closets right after Halloween and the Christmas music has been on non-stop for a couple of weeks now already.  I just try to stay out of the way as much as possible.
