A large house out of sight from the old road into Stoke Fleming village. The house dates from 1760 - the gates are impressive!
This film expired in 1999! Yesterday, it was threatening to storm but never did, so I hung out in Presidio National Park with the Golden Gate Bridge and some ominous clouds.
It was beautiful late afternoon in San Francisco so I decided to take the opportunity to head down to the beach and capture some images with the ND10 filter I bought a couple of months ago. Not too bad for a first attempt with the filter as it does require some extra care when focusing and calculating exposures. That said, I do like the way it turns the water to silk.

Thanks for looking and, as always, I very much appreciate any comments or feedback you choose to leave.
Fyndon's Gate was part of Canterbury's St Augustine's Abbey. The abbey gatehouse was rebuilt from 1301 to 1309 by Abbot Fyndon. It has since been known as the Fyndon Gate or the Great Gate. The chamber above the entrance was the state bed-chamber of the Monastery. In 1625, Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria slept in this chamber, following their marriage in Canterbury Cathedral. In 1660, after the Restoration, Charles II and his brothers, the Dukes of York and Gloucester, stayed in the gatehouse on their way to London.
Fyndon's gate suffered such damage by German bombs during the Second World War that it had to be rebuilt. The gate faces a small square known since the reign of Charles I as Lady Wootton's Green."
St Augustine's Abbey was a Benedictine monastery that was founded in 598 and functioned as a monastery until its dissolution in 1538 during the English Reformation. After the abbey's dissolution, it underwent dismantlement until 1848. Since 1848, part of the site has been used for educational purposes and the abbey ruins have been preserved for their historical value.
Abbot Fyndon's Great Gate, is a private entrance into the King’s School. The public entrance to the abbey ruins is on Longport. The King's School is a British co-educational independent school for both day and boarding pupils. It is a member of the Headmasters' and Headmistresses' Conference and the Eton Group. It is held to be the oldest continuously operating school in the world, having been founded in AD 597.
I figured that after all the love that I've been giving the Bay Bridge, I should give some equal time to the Golden Gate.
I have often thought that there was a photograph to be made out of the large wooden gates that form the entrance to the Beeston Canal from the River Trent. I felt that a slightly high key treatment might show off the weathered wood and its associated ironwork at it's most attractive from a photographic point of view. After all, they are only functional wooden gates that most normal members of the general public might never look twice at. But as photographers we see the world through photographic eyes and the word 'normal' could never apply to us!
Out of nowhere the sky formed like this and the position of the sun was perfect. just one of these days where everything comes together.

Well first I missed my plane
So I wound up on your flight
Then we got stuck in Detroit
Half the night
And the only vacant seat
You could find at gate twenty-nine
Was one next to mine ...

More nice in color.*
The bald man below was my Italian boyfriend, Alessandro.
We met on Facebook, then he came to Istanbul 5 times.
The East Gate, one of the only two remaining gates , has seen many changes since it was first part of the defensive system of the town. It, like West Gate, is notable for having a chapel built upon it.
The small chapel of St. Peter's perched on top of East Gate, dates to the mid 15th. century, but was ruinous by 1571. It survived, in a deteriorating state, despite many alterations, until the late 18th. century, when it was decided to rebuild it. The present building was opened in 1788. Designed by Francis Hiorn, three-times mayor of Warwick.
It is now part of the Girls High School.
Coast path at Llanrhystud, West Wales.
On the left is the beach I so often take photos at... the one with posts.
I was there taking photos when I saw this sky brewing over there, so I scrambled up into the field to get a better viewpoint... not sure if the gate works really.... (photographically speaking I mean lol) but there wasn't much else to use for foreground.
Many of my pictures are available to buy as prints, canvasses or acrylics at:
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is a former city gate, rebuilt in the late 18th century as a neoclassical triumphal arch, and now one of the most well-known landmarks of Germany.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees, which formerly led directly to the city palace of the Prussian monarchs.
It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Having suffered considerable damage in World War II, the Brandenburg Gate was fully restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin (Berlin Monument Conservation Foundation).[1]
