It was ten years ago when I posted a photo of this very same gate and wondered why that spot above the gate was not painted. At that time, the house and wall were painted yellow. I drive by this house two or three times a week and I would always see that spot and sort of chuckle to myself that it was left like that year after year. This last Saturday, I passed this house again and noticed that it had a new paint job. The whole house and the wall around the yard has been painted white. But wait, that same spot above the gate was still unpainted! I slowed down and turned around to get a photo.
I had originally thought that something must have hung above the gate and was removed and that the owners never got around to painting over that spot. Now I wonder if there is a deeper meaning for that one spot to be left in a natural tone. After all, why was it not painted when the rest of the house got a new coat of paint? Is there some sort of hidden meaning here? Any ideas?
Mysterious, maybe they are waiting that somebody at last will create a nice "Welcome sign" to be hanged above the arch...
ReplyDeleteSharon it's time to knock on the door and ask. Good Luck! ✌
ReplyDeleteA keystone? But is appears to just be part of the stucco wall?
ReplyDeleteKeystone comes to mind too.
ReplyDeleteI see that irritating spammer resurfaced. Pity.
A mystery for sure!
ReplyDeleteI guess it's just supposed to look like a keystone, as Travel and William said.
ReplyDeleteA mystery for sure but I'm thinking the same as William.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for a ceramic sign of some kind perhaps.
ReplyDeleteIt's got to be a symbolic thing Sharon, it surely couldn't happen twice. Keep an eye on it though, it might be getting ready for a new addition 😉
ReplyDeleteA keystone.
