The Brandenburg Gate was commisioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to represent peace. The Gate was designed by Karl Gotthard Langhans, the Court Superintendent of Buildings, and the main architectural design of this landmark hasn't changed since it was first constructed in 1791. Ironically the gate was incorporated into the Berlin wall during the years of Communist government. The Brandenburg gate is probably the most well-known landmark in Berlin, it now stands as a symbol of the reunification of the two sides of this great city.
The Sample Gates serve as a welcoming entryway for beautiful IU campus.

I figured that after all the love that I've been giving the Bay Bridge, I should give some equal time to the Golden Gate.
Well first I missed my plane
So I wound up on your flight
Then we got stuck in Detroit
Half the night
And the only vacant seat
You could find at gate twenty-nine
Was one next to mine ...
Fyndon's Gate was part of Canterbury's St Augustine's Abbey. The abbey gatehouse was rebuilt from 1301 to 1309 by Abbot Fyndon. It has since been known as the Fyndon Gate or the Great Gate. The chamber above the entrance was the state bed-chamber of the Monastery. In 1625, Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria slept in this chamber, following their marriage in Canterbury Cathedral. In 1660, after the Restoration, Charles II and his brothers, the Dukes of York and Gloucester, stayed in the gatehouse on their way to London.
Fyndon's gate suffered such damage by German bombs during the Second World War that it had to be rebuilt. The gate faces a small square known since the reign of Charles I as Lady Wootton's Green."
St Augustine's Abbey was a Benedictine monastery that was founded in 598 and functioned as a monastery until its dissolution in 1538 during the English Reformation. After the abbey's dissolution, it underwent dismantlement until 1848. Since 1848, part of the site has been used for educational purposes and the abbey ruins have been preserved for their historical value.
Abbot Fyndon's Great Gate, is a private entrance into the King’s School. The public entrance to the abbey ruins is on Longport.

I felt such announce came from a distance when I finished shooting this one.
The man proceeded to gate B for boarding and I decided to remain here.
On 06/09/22 a ROG operated 5E16 1016 Castle Donington EMDC-Gascoigne Wood was scheduled to run with mk111s for further storage. I wouldn't usually bother with the weather how it was, but when told it was 37901 and it was 7 mk111s, I thought I'd have a look. This is Stanton Gate where the old down yard has been cleared of vegetation, however there is a lamp post that cuts the loco in half, which I have removed in photoshop.
The East Gate, one of the only two remaining gates , has seen many changes since it was first part of the defensive system of the town. It, like West Gate, is notable for having a chapel built upon it.
The small chapel of St. Peter's perched on top of East Gate, dates to the mid 15th. century, but was ruinous by 1571. It survived, in a deteriorating state, despite many alterations, until the late 18th. century, when it was decided to rebuild it. The present building was opened in 1788. Designed by Francis Hiorn, three-times mayor of Warwick.
It is now part of the Girls High School.

The Pipewell Gate . . Winchelsea also known as Ferry Gate. Destroyed in the French attack in 1380, it was rebuilt in 1404 by John Helde the then Mayor.
The road plunges down beneath a steep cliff and it was here that King Edward I had a miraculous escape. He was at Winchelsea to view his fleet, loading for his Flanders campaign, and approached the top of the cliff, which was crowned only by a low earth wall. His horse was startled and jumped the wall then, with its rider, disappeared down the precipice. Horror-struck the townsfolk were in time to see the horse land a full thirty feet below on the road, where it slid twelve paces, stumbling and staggering before the king, still in his saddle turned his horse around and rode straight back to the top.

On the left is the beach I so often take photos at... the one with posts.
I was there taking photos when I saw this sky brewing over there, so I scrambled up into the field to get a better viewpoint... not sure if the gate works really.... (photographically speaking I mean lol) but there wasn't much else to use for foreground.
Many of my pictures are available to buy as prints, canvasses or acrylics at:

I have often thought that there was a photograph to be made out of the large wooden gates that form the entrance to the Beeston Canal from the River Trent. I felt that a slightly high key treatment might show off the weathered wood and its associated ironwork at it's most attractive from a photographic point of view. After all, they are only functional wooden gates that most normal members of the general public might never look twice at. But as photographers we see the world through photographic eyes and the word 'normal' could never apply to us!
