The fortifications of the town were built after the Mongol Invasion. It had four gates, which opened to the south, west, north and northeast. The plain of the town slightly slopes north, so the southern gate, which was located on the highest point, was called Upper Gate, while the northeastern gate, which was located on the lowest point, was called Lower Gate. The walls were defended by wide moats.
The trade road coming from the central regions of Hungary left the town towards Poland through the Lower Gate. From the town gate a little wooden bridge led to a half-round barbican, which still stands, surrounded by moats. From the barbican a drawbridge led across the moat. After the fortifications of the town lost their significance, the wooden bridges over the moats were demolished and a new stone bridge was raised with two 5-metres wide arches in 1821. A similar stone bridge was built to connect the barbican with the town but it had only one arch.

The stony slope of the Tama river bank. The texture is probably the result of the flood a couple of years ago.

"Who would imagine there’s an authentic Chinese tea house hugging the Cliff Walk in Newport? Behind the incredible Marble House, at the bottom of its sloping lawn stands this little treasure with incredible views of the Atlantic. Marble House is a gilded era mansion built between 1888 and 1892 and was the summer cottage of Alva and William Vanderbilt. It cost approximately 11 million dollars to build, and it was given to Alva by her husband on her 39th birthday.
After they divorced, she married Oliver H.P. Belmont and became Alva Belmont. She is known as an ardent crusader for women’s equality and gave thousands of dollars to the National Women’s Party to advance women’s rights. After her second husband’s death in 1908, she re-opened Marble House and had the Chinese Tea House built on the cliffs. It was here that she held her rallies for women’s right to vote."

Here’s a look at a stunning Rhode Island hidden gem with an interesting past.
Trees on the New Close Knots (cliff) on the West side of the Gordale Beck stream.
Taken with a very inappropriate lens, the Tamron 70-300mm 4-5.6 Macro which is very fuzzy at longer distances and has a lot of aberrations.
A fine example of the walk ups lining the streets of the the Park Slope district of Brooklyn, New York.
and your buddy acts like he didn't even notice. Young male Polar Bears (Ursus maritimus) congregating, testing the ice and play fighting before the freeze-up.
The glass wall panels of a covered roof terrace on the 6th floor of a store taken from the street. I like they look flat at a quick glance, but actually they are repetitive wedge-shaped windows.
In some way I got the image that the windows are running out of the frame...
