Golden Gate Bridge. It's fun to imagine the Gate—pre-bridge— when it really was an open passage (until 1937). See some history below.
Taken from Fort Point (South End)
Fort Point National Historic Site defended San Francisco Bay from California's Gold Rush to World War II. Its brick masonry matches the Golden Gate Bridge.
From its vantage point overlooking the spectacular Golden Gate, Fort Point protected San Francisco harbor from Confederate & foreign attack during & after the U.S. Civil War. Its beautifully arched casemates display the art of the master brick mason from the Civil War period.
The fort was designed to mount 126 massive cannon. Rushed to completion at the beginning of the Civil War, Fort Point was first garrisoned in February of 1861 by Company I, 3rd U.S. Artillery Regiment. The fort was occupied throughout the Civil War, but the advent of faster, more powerful rifled cannon made brick forts such as Fort Point obsolete. In 1886 the troops were withdrawn, and the last cannon were removed about 1900. The fort was then used for storage and training purposes for many years.
Between 1933 and 1937 the fort was used as a base of operations for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. During World War II, Fort Point was occupied by about 100 soldiers who manned searchlights and rapid-fire cannon mounted atop the fort as part of the protection of a submarine net strung across the entrance to the Bay.

One of a pair of raccoons making the rounds of people's gardens early one morning. One of them was limping, and part of its tail is missing. Perhaps the dog was out when they visited the house with the sign on the fence: "Warning: Dog in Residence!"

Something I shot last December from the Marin Headlands while out with Miguel (Amigo) that I was inspired to find after seeing a fog bound image of the GGB taken by Agus (A Sutanto) this morning. The fog has returned and I want to get back to it, but it's hard with gas prices the way they are and being so far from this place. I hold on to hope.

On the last day in San Francisco, I went to China beach to take pictures of the golden gate at sunset. I tried numerous angles and composition. This one was my favorite.
On a walk round Neilston Pad, the path gates were open. Possibly a COVID-19 response but also maybe just because they're foresting just now.
The bottom lock at Braunston is part of the Braunston Lock Flight, a series of six locks on the Grand Union Canal in Braunston, Northamptonshire. These locks help boats navigate a 35-foot rise in elevation as they move between the lower and upper sections of the canal. The bottom lock is the first lock encountered when heading uphill toward Braunston Tunnel. It’s a busy spot, especially during summer, as Braunston is a major junction where the Grand Union and Oxford Canals meet. The lock is surrounded by charming countryside, making it a favourite among boaters and walkers.
Every night at 8.00pm (20:00 hours) a moving ceremony takes place at the Menin Gate in Ieper - Ypres. The Last Post Ceremony has become part of the daily life in Ieper (Ypres) and the local people are proud of this simple, moving tribute to the courage and self-sacrifice of those who fell in defence of the town.
officially the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing, is a war memorial in Ypres, Belgium, dedicated to the British and Commonwealth soldiers who were killed in the Ypres Salient of World War I and whose graves are unknown. The memorial is located at the eastern exit of the town and marks the starting point for one of the main roads that led Allied soldiers to the front line.
Designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield and built by the Imperial War Graves Commission (since renamed the Commonwealth War Graves Commission), the Menin Gate Memorial was unveiled on 24 July 1927. In early 2023, the monument was closed for extensive restoration works, expected to be completed in time for the memorial's centenary in 2027.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
