The Hadrian's Gate or Üçkapılar ("The Three Gates" in Turkish) is a triumphal arch located in Antalya, Turkey, which was built in the name of the Roman emperor Hadrian, who visited the city in the year 130. It has three arched gates. According to local legend, Sultan Belkis, the Queen of Sheba, is said to have passed under those gates and enjoyed a happy day in the palace in Aspendos on her way to visit King Solomon. Formerly the city walls enclosed the outside of the gate and it was not used for many years. This may be the reason why it has not been harmed, and it was only revealed when the walls collapsed. It is considered as Pamphylia's most beautiful gate. The upper part has three apertures in the shape of a cupola, and except for the pillars is built entirely of white marble. The ornamentation is very striking. The original gate was two storeys but little is known of the top storey.
On either side of the gate are towers, which are known not to have been built at the same time. The southern one is known as the Julia Sancta tower and is a work of the Hadrian era. It was constructed of plain stone blocks. While the base of the northern tower belongs to antiquity, the upper part is left over from the Seljuk period.

Inveraray enjoys a picturesque setting on the shores of Loch Fyne, where it meets Loch Shira. It was built on the site of an earlier fishing village in the mid 1700s by the 3rd Duke of Argyll, Chief of the powerful Clan Campbell. He demolished the original village to give his rebuilt castle more space, and rehoused the population in a new town that is one of the most attractive in Scotland.
The original village of Inveraray stood in the parkland that now extends south east from Inveraray Castle to the main A83. It had grown following the move of the Campbells to "old" Inveraray Castle in the mid 1400s from their previous stronghold at Innis Chonnell Castle on an island in Loch Awe.
Inveraray was well enough established to become a burgh of barony in 1472 and a royal burgh in 1648. With a good natural harbour and lying at a key focal point in the limited road network across Argyll, it had effectively become the legal and administrative centre for the county by the early 1700s. Its development went hand in hand with the growing power of the Campbells and the importance of their seat at Inveraray Castle.
The idea of replacing the 1400s tower house with a modern residence befitting the status and power of the Dukes of Argyll first occurred to the 2nd Duke in 1720. When the 3rd Duke of Argyll succeeded to his title in 1743 he commissioned an architect, and work began in 1745. As part of the project he created open parkland by demolishing the existing village of Inveraray, which stood between the castle and the sea.
The new town of Inveraray was built on a site to the south than its predecessor, out of sight of the castle. The new town had two main elements - Front Street ran almost west from the harbour to a large inn placed near the gates to the park for Inveraray Castle and the very grand Main Street ran parallel with the shore of Loch Fyne and at right angles to Front Street.
This comprised large white-harled buildings on both sides while in its centre it bulged out into Church Square to accommodate the classical bulk of the Glenaray and Inveraray Parish Church, built between 1792 and 1802 by Robert Mylne. This was originally built as a double church, with one half worshipping in Gaelic while the other half worshipped in Scots.
The area between Main Street and Loch Fyne is a warren of small streets, but a large part of it is occupied by Inveraray Jail. To the west, Main Street backs onto The Avenue, now the village's main car park.

As it turns out we pretty much spent no money creating this new
backyard gate with the exception of some hinges. I made a simple clasp
lock out of some galvanized carabiners we seemed to have a surplus of.
It is a little clumbsy at first to deal with, but we can open and
close the clasp with one hand.
Taragarh is an old and neglected fort that sits on a hill overlooking Bundi in Rajastan. This fort has some beautiful architecture, note the carving of Ganesha on the gate.

A horse-racing track. It looks pretty dumpy and abandoned from the outside, but apparently they still do racing.
Not my cup o' tea, I've never been there. They also have random home shows and craft shows.
Week #8 (w/b 30 August) When Things Go Wrong - do you throw your hands up in the air, get into a mad panic or just sit back and say “that’s life?” I’m sure I know someone who just says “heck, give me some chocolate!” You can share your “gone wrong” happenings or maybe just what to do when those things do go wrong and remember to keep smiling!!
