The first time I saw this marvelous skyscraper was during the annual Formula 1 race and shortly after I watched its construction and building process on NatGeo Channel. Few months later I finally had to chance to see it live, it was standing in front of me, tall and elegant, towering over the Abu Dhabi skyline.
Capital Gate (a.k.a. the Leaning Tower of Abu Dhabi) is one of the tallest buildings in the city and the focal point of the Capital Center/Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre master development.
In June 2010, Guinness World Records certified Capital Gate as the "World's furthest leaning man-made tower".
The gate is decorated with bulls (symbol of Adad, the weather god) and dragons (symbol of the city's god, Marduk).

My favorite thing about San Francisco is the Golden Gate Bridge. It's the most amazing man-made structure I've ever seen! If I have a million pictures of it, I can always use a million and one.

Family and I headed down to the Florida for a couple of weeks and took the kids to Disney World (of course). They had a blast.
Took about 800 - 900 photos total between the 6D and GR. A ton to go through. Will be posting several here over the next little while.
Starting with this one. Shot through the car window on the way into the park...

The coolness of the riverbank
And the whispering of the reeds
Daybreak is not so very far away
Enchanted and spellbound
In the silence they lingered
And rowed the boat
As the light grew steadily strong
And the birds were silent
As they listened for the heavenly music
And the river played the song
[Chorus]
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The wind in the willows
And the piper at the gates of dawn
The sold-out Richmond Forum audience provided no shortage of great questions for a very interesting Q&A.
Florence Baptistery (Firenze, Italy).
The massive doors—seventeen feet high—were created by the eminent Florentine goldsmith, sculptor, and designer Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378-1380–1455).
Ghiberti placed ten brilliantly visualized scenes from the Old Testament amid surrounding frames that include twenty-four heads and twenty-four statuettes of Biblical heroes, heroines, prophets, and sibyls, all enclosed within a lush frieze of the flora and fauna of Tuscany. All offer proof of Ghiberti's unique ability to combine compositional strength with the utmost delicacy, creating rich pictorial effects and perspectives that were unprecedented. He employed various grades of relief in combination—some figures are shown nearly in the round, while others barely rise above the surface—a subtly intricate modeling technique that he practiced magisterially. The whole was enhanced through the use of fire gilding. It took twenty-seven years (1425–52) for Ghiberti's workshop to design and make the massive doors; the recent conservation effort to bring them back to their original splendor has taken an equivalent amount of time.
At the Iron Gates, the Samaria Gorge is so narrow that you can almost touch both sides as they rise up sheer 350 metres above your head.
The Samaria Gorge is located in west Crete, in the White Mountains. It is said to be the longest gorge in Europe (which I doubt).
The gorge is 16 km long (its width varies from 150 meters to a mere 3 meters), starting at an altitude of 1,250m at the northern entrance, and ending at the shores of the Libyan Sea in Agia Roumeli. The walk through Samaria National Park is 13 km long, but one has to walk another three km to Agia Roumeli from the park exit, making the hike 16 km.
In contradiction to what you can read in many guidebooks, the walk is quite easy and pleasant.
The world heritage-listed cottage was built in 1887 and is a significant part of the colonial history of Parramatta.
"Originally there was a smaller cottage that was built here by Lord Fitzroy after his wife tragically died in a carriage accident at the George Street gatehouse and he couldn't stand driving through the gatehouse any more so he opened up the Macquarie Street side so he didn't have to keep driving past where his wife died," he said.
"Then there was a gatehouse built to guard the entrance and then it was renovated in the 1880s to become the cottage that it is now."
The cottage is currently being utilised as Tea Rooms.
Gates McFadden (Dr. Beverly Crusher of Star Trek:TNG) at Calgary Comic Con & Expo 2012. Doesn't she look fantastic?
These falls are on Gates Mills Creek, which continues to flow meeting the Chagrin River in Gates Mills, Ohio. There was once a small bridge over the ravine, but it was demolished some years ago, presumably to help the ravine be restored to its original form. The county still maintains an easement where the bridge once stood, but there is no place to park a car. The falls can still be viewed by those willing to hike or ride a bike to the area, then climbing down a rocky and slippery escarpment. The ravine can also be viewed from above the falls by walking toward the ledge of the falls (see link below) but I would advise using the strongest of caution if doing this. The creek bottom is extremelly slippery, and going over the falls would not be a pleasant experience.
Euston Station gates, National Railway Museum, York
These particular gates are the main ones that were located between the two front columns of the arch. Gates were also located either side of these and other gates were located to the sides of the arches flanking lodges and provided access to the platforms. The gates from the sides of the lodges are now peculiarly located at the National Tram Museum.
The sign next to the gates tells us the following:
These elaborate cast iron gates are from the Doric Portico that formed the entrance to the original Euston station in London.
The gates were manufactured by the inventor and locksmith J J Bramah for the Euston terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway. The great stone Portico or Euston Arch which contained the gates was designed by the architect Philip Hardwick as an architectural symbol representing Euston as the “gateway” from the Capital to the Midlands and the North.
The Arch remained at Euston for over one hundred years. Electrification of the line to Birmingham, Manchester and Liverpool required the enlargement of Euston station and as a result the Arch was demolished in late 1961. This caused considerable public protest.
