These are the corridors of Gateway Center early Sunday afternoon. Usually during the week, there would be people bustling about. However, it was just me (and another lone person at the far end of the skywalk photo).
The Gateway of India is a monument in Mumbai, India. Located on the waterfront in Apollo Bunder area in South Mumbai. It was a crude jetty used by fisher folks and was later renovated and used as a landing place for British governors and other distinguished personages. In earlier times, the Gateway was the monument that visitors arriving by boat would have first seen in the city of Bombay.
Penrhos Gateway. This area has been a Nature Reserve for decades with generations of Holyhead people being able to enjoy the natural heritage of this area: the wooded area was planted in the 19th century and it has a wealth of woodland: mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland; flora and fauna: bluebell beds; meadow butterflies, and fresh water habitats. This area alone attracts 100.000 visitors every year. We have visited here for more years than we care to remember, just to wander round it’s woodland, enjoy the peace and quiet see the bluebells and the spring cyclamen, read about its history and enjoy it all, sadly this will come to an end, most of the Penrhos Nature Reserve will be closed to the public it will become a gated leisure village with up to 500 holiday homes – a nice place for those who stay there but what damage will be done to this glorious coastal when they start to build, it will never be the same again.
This is an old stone gateway into the old garden area of Penrhos.
The 'V' design in front allows the building to reflect itself..not another building..and gives it a lovely'core'.

A little trite, but I just got back from my first visit to San Francisco and just had to post something. This was shot during my initial stroll to the Golden Gate on Saturday... I didn't get much closer as I couldn't figure out with the maps I had quite how to get onto the bridge, and the sun was rapidly dropping behind the hills.
I made an even longer walk from where I stayed on Mission Street to the (fog-shrouded) bridge the next day. It was at least a ten-mile walk one-way (including the crossing of the bridge) — making for some pretty sore feet by the end of the day, and some pretty tight calf muscles and achilles tendons the next morning.
Bigger is a little better.
A section of the Bournemouth Gateway building. This splendid modern building, designed by Atkins, is the new home for Bournemouth University's Faculty of Health and Social Sciences. It opened in 2021.
I took this from the back seat of the car as we moved slowly in heavy traffic.

These are photos taken on my trip to Europe and the UK with a girl friend in October to November 2012. My camera I had then wasn't good with low light so some of these shots are not great but I have put them as my memories of the trip.
We took the bus to Chichester and had a walk around... dodging the showers. It was rather cold. This is our last day in England. Next stop Paris.
Chichester Cathedral has fine architecture in both the Norman and the Gothic styles, and has been described by the architectural critic Ian Nairn as "the most typical English Cathedral". Despite this, Chichester has two architectural features that are unique among England's medieval cathedrals—a free-standing medieval bell tower (or campanile) and double aisles.[4] The cathedral contains two rare medieval sculptures, and many modern art works including tapestries, stained glass and sculpture, many of these commissioned by Walter Hussey (Dean, 1955–77).
The spire of Chichester Cathedral, rising above its green copper roof, can be seen for many miles across the flat meadows of West Sussex and is a landmark for sailors, Chichester being the only medieval English cathedral which is visible from the sea.

Blocks of ice are cut and placed into the shape of a fortress near Tenney Park in Mendota lake.

One example that reminds us of India’s colonial past. Empire has a way of making itself unforgettable. From Wiki: “The Gateway of India is an arch-monument completed in 1924 on the waterfront of Mumbai (Bombay), India. It was erected to commemorate the landing of George V for his coronation as the Emperor of India in December 1911 at Strand Road near Wellington Fountain. He was the first British monarch to visit India.”

The Gateway Arch is the centerpiece of the Jefferson National Expansion Memorial in St. Louis, Missouri. It was built as a monument to the westward expansion of the United States. At 630 feet, it is the tallest man-made monument in the United States, Missouri's tallest accessible building and the largest architectural structure designed as a weighted or flattened catenary arch. Located on the west bank of the Mississippi River where the city of St. Louis was founded, the arch was designed by Finnish American architect Eero Saarinen and structural engineer Hannskarl Bandel in 1947. Construction began on February 12, 1963 and ended on October 28, 1965. The monument opened to the public on June 10, 1967.

I didn't get to go up to the top of the arch. Shortly before my visit, a tram had stalled while climbing to the top of arch and some visitors were trapped for about an hour before being rescued. You can read about it here:
