Its that gate again! Another shot from my misty morning walk on Sunday morning.

Of course on our bucket list at our stay in San Francisco and Sausalito later. Hard to catch, mostly covered in strong fog. Finally on our last day with some nice light.
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 was a learning experience on the road with my new camera. I had just brought my Nikon D810 a few days, before I left for my short trip to Berlin, so still getting used to it. But hopefully I am back regularly uploading photos again :)
Gates I discovered off a dead-end road and enclosing an empty lot. Photoshop effects complete the image, of course.

East Anglia is, apparently, 1/5 below sea level. The coastline along this stretch is also among the fastest eroding in Europe and has been receding since documented history.
These two facts, combined with potential increases in sea levels create a huge need to re-assess how we approach environmental issues like this. Do we act differently as a nation to help reduce our contribution to such problems or continue to patch up what we can, as we can?
There's surely no easy answer, but images of such places may help contribute toward a greater knowledge of the topic for people who previously were unaware, to help them gather information from which to form an opinion.
This stretch of concrete and rip rap runs along a huge stretch of coastline here. Despite the long term connotation presented above, I find them rather impressive.
Torres de Serranos or Porta de Serrans
Gate built in the late 14th century that formed part of an ancient city wall* [fortification for a defensive purpose] in the old city of Valencia, Spain. It is a historic landmark and monument.

Gwanghwamun Gate is the main and largest gate of Gyeongbokgung Palace, Seoul, first constructed in 1395. It was constructed as the main gate to Gyeongbokgung Palace, the main and most important royal palace during the Joseon Dynasty.
During the 1592 Japanese invasion, it was destroyed by fire and left in ruins for over 250 years.
Concrete Gwanghwamun with the Japanese Governor General Building, which stood until 1996.
Gwanghwamun was reconstructed in 1867 along with the rest of Gyeongbokgung Palace by the order of regent Daewongun during the reign of Emperor Gojong. The gate stood until 1926, when the Japanese government had it deconstructed and moved it just to the southeast of the current location of the National Folk Museum of Korea to make way for the massive Japanese Governor General Building.
The Korean War completely destroyed the wooden structure of Gwanghwamun, and its stone base lay in complete disrepair and neglect. In 1968, during Park Chung-hee's administration, the stone base was again relocated in front of the Japanese Governor General Building. The destroyed wooden structure was rebuilt in concrete, while the sign on Gwanghwamun was written in hangul by Park himself. Gwanghwamun remained as a concrete gate until late 2006
One of my last photos of the evening last night in the old industrial parts of Dublin. I was keen to photograph the old streets around the Guinness Brewery at St James' Gate and finally found this classic street. Had to wait until very late before it became dark enough but certainly worth it!

This shot was taken at Presidio,CA right below the Golden Gate Bridge about an 1/8 of a second before getting sprayed then soaked up to the ankle in water. Having a rain-jacket draped over the camera helped... a bit. It's shortly after dawn, but the light never really hit the bridge.
This shot was inspired by Patrick Smith... If you like this image at all, go check out his stuff its really amazing and he is extremely helpful in his posts!
On that note, if you do go down to this spot when the surf is 10-20ft at high tide consider bringing the following items I neglected to bring: Shorts, water shoes, towel.
No HDR this time.

A 180 Second exposure at the Golden Gate Bridge from back in March. The weather wasn't perfect, but we got out and made images anyway. We didn't have to fight for position either.
