Walking to and from our lunch restaurant is fairly unusual but a very pleasant change. We walk along new routes and are often surprised by what we encounter, totally unseen when driving.
This is the front gate of an unusually scruffy street but it caused me to stop, stare and think for a moment or two.
The Lyadski Gate (Ukrainian: Лядські ворота) is a monument built in 2001 on Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square), the central square of the Ukrainian capital Kyiv. The current incarnation of the gate was built as recently as 2001, as a memorial to the medieval city gate which stood on this spot in medieval times. It was then the main entrance to the city from the south-east, and it was here that Batu Khan concentrated his attacks during his sack of the city in 1240.
The gate is decorated with a coat of arms with a bow and two arrows and has been crowned by a bronze sculpture of Archangel Michael, the patron saint of the city of Kyiv, since 2002. The sculptor was Anatoly Kushch, who was also the sculptor of the Independence Monument of Ukraine and the fountain of the city's founders, which both also stand on the Maidan.
The Maidan is located on Khreshchatyk, Kyiv’s premier street. The square has been known under many different names, and since the start of Ukraine’s independence movement in 1990, has been the traditional place for political rallies, including four large-scale radical protest campaigns: the 1990 student “Revolution on Granite”, the 2001 “Ukraine without Kuchma”, the 2004 Orange Revolution, and the 2013–14 Euromaidan. The Maidan is also a regular site for non-political displays and events.
The current form of the Maidan dates almost entirely from the late 1940s and 1950s: the buildings on the square were demolished during the Red Army’s booby-trapping of the city centre before the Nazis captured the city in the First Battle of Kiev in September 1941, and therefore this part of the city had to be rebuilt from scratch after liberation in 1943. It was rebuilt in Stalinist Empire Style, and was mostly done at a time when the Soviets were still building showcase high-quality architecture in key locations, before building quality collapsed later in the 1950s. The square was again substantially rebuilt in 1976-7 due to the construction of the metro and then again in the years after 2001.
The glass dome on the left of the shot dates from this period; the Globus shopping centre opened in the early years of the 21st Century and replaced an old concrete underground shopping passage of the type that can still be seen around many Kyiv metro stations.

I do seem to have a thing about fences, gates and locks, and this one has all three. It was taken in the same spot as my fence and cattle photo recently posted.
I don't know how much of a problem cattle rustling is for the ranchers. But a lock helps. Even if it simply thwarts the efforts of teenagers who are bored with spray painting graffiti on the road and decide to let all the cattle out.

The West Gate Bridge is famous for two reasons:
(1) When it was built in the 1970s it was the longest bridge in Australia (2,583 metres and 58 metres above the water to allow the largest ships through), which opened up the Western suburbs to quicker city access. It is now the fifth longest, and much shorter than Melbourne's newer Bolte Bridge (5 kilometres).
(2) On October 15, 1970, during construction, a terrible tragedy occurred when two central spans of the bridge collapsed. Anyone living in Melbourne at the time (and I was in primary school) remembers this day completely. We were shocked to learn that in an instant 35 construction workers were killed and 18 injured in what is still the worst industrial accident in Australian history.
Here is Mark Seymour's brilliant musical tribute to the bridge workers and the tragic day (with historic news footage) .
Came across this gate at an abandoned property. Loved the shapes and textures. Instead of a lock, it had one decomposing nail to keep the gate shut.
Taken from the window seat of a London bound 747. For a long time, this was my most popular photo on Flickr.
A gate that allows people to pass, but not animals. Apparently it leads to Mill Beck, but I never did find out if it did. Maybe next time I will.

Gate of Athena Archegetis, the monumental western entrance to the Roman Agora in Athens, Greece. Built around 11 BCE using bright Pentelic marble, featuring four fluted Doric columns supporting an entablature and pediment. Erected with funds donated by Julius Caesar and Augustus as a dedicated gateway to the city's main Roman commercial marketplace.
in san francisco for a conference right now, what a fabulous city!! no time for editing, but want to share some photos.
the fabulous golden gate bridge amongst the fog.
That fog doesn't mess around. Just another blue hour shot of the Golden Gate Bridge. It was quite chilly for a night in June, and the bridge was covered in fog within minutes after this shot was taken...
the moss and lichen covered old wicket gate, (hunting gate) at branxholme easter loch. a wild and lonely place, high up on the borders moorland. i can still recall going through this old gate many years ago when out hunting on me little old pony, the grass being on both sides. and the the old private fishing sign out in the water being on dry land, years of storm winds and water action have eroded the land, with the loch water reclaiming it. hawick, scottish borders, scotland.
Taking Golden Gate bridge pictures from a moving car is tricky even when you are not the one driving. Most of mine were crap. But then you can always play with them, edit to no end and call them "art"! HSS!
