The Gap and the Gate - a photo on Flickriver

            This gate has puzzled me for years. Why put up a gate and leave an easy path around it? Is it just that the job (adding a bit of fence from the gatepost to the tree) was somehow never completed? Is it meant as a visual message or metaphor of some kind? 
FEEL FREE TO CONTRIBUTE SOME. 
Here is one: An irreverent play on biblical scripture: "Straight is the gate and narrow is the way, and the narrow way is easier." (KJV NT Matthew 7:14, with my flip addendum). 
Location: A gateway into a private backyard, on a secluded but public walking path in Riehen  BS Switzerland. 
In my album: Dan's Funny Stuff.
