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 :)
Construction of the Golden Gate Bridge took a total of 1,604 days or a little over 4 years and 4 1/2 months. Work began on January 5, 1933, and the Bridge opened to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937. It is the most photographed bridge in the world and it was named one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World. The bridge is constantly being painted to maintain its vibrancy. Its International Orange color is made by Sherwin Williams and it was chosen because it blends well with the span's natural setting. The bridge carries about 112,000 vehicles per day according to the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District and in a single month, the bridge normally makes close to $1.9M in revenue.
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.
Explored!

ET42-006, as a looser on the Węgliniec-Jaworzyna Śląska route, passes the former aggregate reloading facility in Rębiszów. Built by the Germans in 1925, it was used to load wagons with basalt from a nearby quarry. The raw material was delivered by cable car, and gravity unloading took place from platforms visible at the top of the structure. This facility likely ended around the turn of the century.

ET42-006 jako luzak w relacji Węgliniec - Jaworzyna Śląska mija dawną przeładownię kruszywa w Rębiszowie. Zbudowana przez Niemców w 1925 roku służyła do załadunku wagonów bazaltem z pobliskiego kamieniołomu. Surowiec dostarczano kolejką linową, a grawitacyjny rozładunek odbywał się z pomostów widocznych w górnej części konstrukcji. To miejsce zakończyło prawdopodobnie na przełomie wieków.
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
An overcast sky casts a dull light over its surroundings, but the Cloud Gate sculpture glows no matter what.

It took eight of us volunteers about six Sundays to build the gate and the planters from scratch... for this Year of the Dragon celebration. The decorations were done by group of skillful female volunteers who completed the tasks in another two Sundays.
I had to wait until late in the afternoon to capture this view with no one around blocking anything! 😁
Happy New Year...
Have a beautiful day, everyone.
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!
