My 11/16/25 postcard features a gate standing alone, with no fence on either side, a weathered doorway situated in the middle of a leaf-strewn yard. With the boundaries gone, it feels less like a barrier and more like an invitation. The little concrete step in front suggests a path, a portal to nowhere and everywhere at the same time, depending on how you look at it.
