Photo-a-Day - May 2013 - Day 19: Curves

I am fascinated by architectural detail; it's workmanship and style.  Cemeteries are a treasure trove of architectural detail as their focus isn't on being practical, although it does serve that purpose, too.  No, the focus is on beauty and, often, conveying wealth and status. 

If found this door at the Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland, California and was entranced by the pattern of curves, as well as the patina the metal had developed.
