Our monthly CDPB theme day challenge is metal. Sometimes the view and what the view is filtered through compete for attention. This is the case with the beautiful wrought ironwork of metal smith Roman Torres, whose workshop was near my college back in the day, and whose lovely fence at Victor Steinbrueck Park I always enjoy seeing as much as the bay and Olympic range beyond.
You'll enjoy seeing the creative theme interpretations in 182 other cities around the globe. Click here to view thumbnails for all participants.

Kim, your usual beautiful photo. This filigree view is superb.
Sydney Daily Photo
Stunning, Kim. I did something similar today on Monte Carlo but I fear not in your league! That dawn or is it sunrise in the distance so makes this work. And beautiful ironwork too. Modern - nice.
Beautiful interpretation, Kim! Amitiés depuis la France.
So artsy! I love your theme choice.
Very pretty, Kim. Love the metalwork and the sunset.
Wow! Really gorgeous, Kim.
Happy Theme Day!
Janet
This is beautiful! Not just the artwork, but the sky behind it! Beautifully composed!
I love that view through the iron.
Just a stunning photo. Great depth of field. The ironwork is a showstopper.
I love metalwork like that. I wish I had just a little bit in my garden. MB
Beautiful interpretation, Kim, and gorgeous fence. Thanks for sharing.
This is a beautiful photo! Excellent choice for the theme day!
A beautiful combination of sunset and wrought iron. It brings warmth to the metal!
Good choice
Both the view and the metal handiwork are perfect together!
This is gorgeous, Kim!
When wrought ironwork is used for art, it moves me and I like it very much. But when it is used only to keep people out I'm not as happy. The wrought ironwork that I posted would be nice if it was a rarity
What a gorgeous fence! You chose a lovely background for it too.
I think they compliment each other... lovely!
Nicely done, Kim. I've always admired that fence in Steinbruck Park.
Kim, this is so beautiful. What a fence! I love the warm sunset glow behind all those pretty curling iron vines.
Beautiful image, Kim. You really have a fine eye for interesting geometry and the play of light in your images.
"Louis" thanks you for your visit and your kind comments about Mme. la Vache. She's the best thing that's ever happened to "Louis!"
Well done. A beautiful photo.
So I looked at the thumbnail and thought, 'Kim said the heck with the theme, I'm showing them this gorgeous bedspread instead!'
Beautiful picture and interpretation of metal for theme day. Have a great weekend.
that's a wonderful patterns of fence against the warm sky Jil. Great interpretation for the Metal Theme Day.
The gate and the view - simply beautiful! I wish I could afford to have one made for my garden!
Absolutely beautiful. The harsh cold metal against the hot flowing colours is superb. Excellent shot and not just for theme day.
Just lovely! I'm a sucker for rod iron fences and with the sunset colors, it's superb.
Wowza!! Stunner of a photo!
Lovely shot, Kim! I just love wrought iron.
BTW. . Read your post about having your photos stolen. Scares the crap out of me.
Nice shot! Great color and shadows.

great shot!
Amazing shot, with the contrast and the colors of the sunset, really liked it!
Kim, I always enjoy your photography interpretation. This one is superb! Love it very much!
I'm late getting around today, but this is a wonderful shot Kim. You caught the stunning colors perfectly behind a beautiful fence.
Beautiful metal art with the sunset sky in the backdrop.
Happy theme Day.
Great choice. Roman Torres must be a great metal smith. Love the background colors.
Kim this is brilliant! What a beautiful, beautiful photo!!!
What a wonderful image -- I came here from the CDP home page where I saw it. I'm brand new to CDP so couldn't officially register for this month's theme but I love wrought iron of any kind and it is the subject of my daily post for today.
Interpretation very artistic of the theme of the month
Great capture of some beautiful iron work.
Oh, this is just beautiful. That doesn't even cover it. I really like this shot. The colours are so perfect for the outline of the ironwork. So simple and yet so incredible.
