Two very functional, forged iron reinforcing bosses on the Higashi Ote-mon or East Gate, Nijo-jo Castle, Kyoto.

The bosses connect a number of steel or iron rods passing through the timber work to ad strength to the structure.

The odd rivet missing in the ironwork but not bad for 1662. The gatehouse itself was originally two stories but was lowered to a single storey at the end of the Edo period to prevent anyone looking down on the visiting Emperor.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge (also called the Coathanger) on a foggy day. Here we see the fog passing through the top of the bridge whilst the bottom part remains clear.
