I love the wrought iron. Just looking at ho it is used is inspiring.
Beautiful and well presented elayne.
While we were on one of our Sunday jaunts we noticed a wrought iron gate leading to someone's driveway and this superb examble was in the shape of a dragon which of course is a Welsh emblem.
It was quite awesome to say the least.
Thank you for sharing this hub as I really did enjoy it.
Take care.

Yes, wrought iron is lovely. I remember the trellises in Spain made of wrought iron on the verandas.
