The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most iconic sights in today’s vibrant Berlin. More than just Berlin’s only surviving historical city gate, this site came to symbolise Berlin’s Cold War division into East and West – and, since the fall of the Wall, a reunified Germany. Architecturally, the sandstone Brandenburg Gate also represents one of the earliest and most attractive examples of a neo-classical building in Germany.
Finally the time is here!
Today the gates will be opened.
11.00 AM sl time we will kick of with an opening party and I would be delighted if you joined us!
Come explore or party with us and I hope you will have as much fun here as I had creating it.
This sim is created to emulate and elicit the feel in the watercolor paintings done by Andrew Wyeth. Melancholy, nostalgia, starkness and the crispness of his work. You will find spots throughout the sim where you can find recreations of some of his paintings and you can pose, take pictures and create your own art work as you like it.
I hope you enjoy!
From 11.00 AM you can find us:
GC and Frenchy, a big big thank you for your help and support!

The Lion Gate was the main entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae, southern Greece. It was erected during the 13th century BC, around 1250 BC in the northwest side of the acropolis and is named after the relief sculpture of two lionesses or lions in a heraldic pose that stands above the entrance.
The Lion Gate is the sole surviving monumental piece of Mycenaean sculpture, as well as the largest sculpture in the prehistoric Aegean. It is the only monument of Bronze Age Greece to bear an iconographic motif that survived without being buried underground, and the only relief image which was described in the literature of classical antiquity, such that it was well known prior to modern archaeology.

The Victoria Gate shopping centre in Leeds, England, was built in 2016 and forms part of the Victoria Leeds shopping district. The facade of the car park comprises many strips of stainless steel that have been meticulously twisted to create a beautiful pattern as the sunlight reflects off them - this pattern is a continuation of the design theme used throughout the building exterior.
Later in the day in Tallinn the clouds gathered and not long after this we had a lot of rain.
The gatehouse of the Viru Gate was a defensive structure built in the 14th century as part of the Tallinn city wall, associated with the Viru Gate. Two watchtowers of this structure remain, which are often mistaken for remnants of the original Viru Gate destroyed in the 19th century during city expansion. The surviving watchtowers of the Viru Gate are located in Tallinn Old Town at the intersection of Viru Street, Vana-Viru Street, and Valli Street in the Old Town district. The original name of the Viru Gate, or Savivärav (German: Lehmporte), originated from large clay pits that existed in the area known as Viru Square.
I was talking via comments to someone about photo's even old ones being memories laid down using photography. this is a case in point that as you can see was taking in 2010...It bought memories of that day flooding back and i even remembered where we parked and going through the kissing gate (grabbing a kiss of course :) and walking up to that church. My late husband would have been aged 61 yrs and still in good health then. I don't shy away from memories ever..and finding this among the lost folders hidden on my hard drive bought with it many happy memories..Sue..
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch in Berlin, and one of the best-known landmarks of Germany. It is built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel. During the post-war Partition of Germany, the gate was isolated and inaccessible immediately next to the Berlin Wall, and the area around the gate was featured most prominently in the media coverage of the tearing down of the wall in 1989.

Photo of my early years in photography. The aperture should have been f/11 or something like that.
Another foggy morning drive in the country. I almost missed this because I noticed it while in a curve in the road. Sometimes we capture images and notice the tiny details after the fact like the gate in this image.
Thanks for stopping by
Silver and gold stainless steel sliding gate with graceful designs. Seen in Bayan Lepas, Penang.
Unlike Australia, almost every house in Malaysia has a secure gate and barred windows. Mind you, my family never experienced any breakins, but I guess that was due to the precautions taken by my parents.

The Nandaimon Gate which stands at the Tōdaiji temple entrance in Nara, Japan, is the largest gate of its kind in Japan, with the two guardians within known as the two kings of Tōdaiji.
Tōdaiji was once one of Japan’s Seven Great Temples, it houses the world’s largest bronze Buddha. As one of the main sites of interest in Nara, the Temple was originally built in 752 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I stitched two shots to create this photo, and no, I was never tempted to remove the people from this shot. Below is a photo of the Tōdaiji Temple with a partial view of the visitors for perspective.

Isozaki Atea (2004), designed by Arata Isozaki. Atea means 'gate', so this could be a gate to the city, after you have passed Zubizuri ('the white bridge') designed by Santiago Calatrava in 1997.
