    Apart from the symbolism of the door the vegetation is great, the photo is very good.
    Best regards.

    I don't suppose there's too much love for the barracks of the British army. It's a wonder it hasn't been completely obliterated from the scene.

    Over 100 years and still standing? It's time for a change?

    Something I wasn't expecting to see. Love the red gate. A picture of history.

    Looks like a highly neglected site. It would be fine if the world was a place not needing military bases.

    It looks like no one has been there for a very long time.

    Agree with my cousin John. It's doubtful there's any interest in restoration. But the photo is great, Bill.
