This is the entrance to Bradford Farms, the community discussed in yesterday's post. It is a gated community, but we were able to drive through it when we went to a garage sale there a couple of months ago.
A gated community in Florida. Obviously that has been in the news a lot.
I like the horse. We have a little shopping center in Tamarindo that has a sculpture of a horse standing on its back legs. It is not as well done as what you showed in your photo today, but it is a good effort for a small Costa Rican shopping center.
Nice looking entrance and statue they have there. And you captured it so well with that lovely sky for a background. I wouldn't mind going to a garage sale there.
The mind boggles to think what people might have on offer at a garage sale in this beautiful area. At far as I can tell, England is still big on car boot sales. I have yet to see a garage sale here. I'm waiting :).
I like the fancy schnanzy expression. Fits the scene quite well... Actually, I think Versailles could do with some horses. After all, we have a top notch equestrian school here...
I have driven through Ocala a few times going to or from Florida, on the road leading from Jacksonville to Tampa. This looks like the road. Or do all of the roads in Ocala look like this road?
This model horse is a real eye catcher. It's still not as good as my favourites Trigger and Silver.
ReplyDeleteGreat horse sculpture, love the big sky too!
ReplyDeletesuperbe cette sculpture a l'entree
ReplyDeleteGarage sales in gated communities? Oxymorons?
ReplyDeleteI like the entrance, but not sure how I feel about gated communities...
ReplyDeleteHow nice of them to allow you entry. Things must be slipping. . . a garage sale in a gated community?!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful sculpture.

Fancy schancy entrance for a small acreage community. But to each his own or is it for whom the bell tolls or am I lost in Idaho. MB

ReplyDeleteSets the tone for all the horses that live there!
ReplyDeleteOnly one horse? He must be lonely guarded this gated community by himself.

ReplyDeleteP.S.: I'll take you to one of their performances. Not to be missed but usually missed by tourists... :-)
ReplyDeleteThis horse is close to the Ferrari Emblem, but the front legs are not in the same place. Interesting entrance.

ReplyDeleteLove the horse. I was thinking like Birdman....Gated communities lower themselves to letting the hoi polloi in for garage sales? Hmm....
ReplyDeleteWell, imagine that! Cash from garage sales is acceptable. Or maybe they consider it a form of community service.
ReplyDeleteHa! You figured out a way to slip through the gate.
