Lisbon is Portugal's largest city and capital. The 25th April Bridge spans the Tagus river.
In October of 2016 my wife and I along with good friends visited parts of Italy, Spain, Portugal and France as part of a western Mediterranean cruise aboard the Celebrity Silhouette.
A gate in the New Forest, Hampshire, surrounded by ferns and other foliage, turning wonderful colours as the season moves in the UK from Summer to Autumn.
Today I decided it was time to do a winter version of my land. It will be called Gates of Memories. This is just a tiny little corner of it and once its finished you are very welcome to visit.
After Gates of Memories it is now time for Gates of Dreams.

A trip to Hells Gate Lighthouse situated at the dangerous narrow and shallow entrance to Macquarie Harbour, Tasmania. 'Hells Gate', however, was so-called by the convicts shipped there after British colonisation where some places in Australia were used as harsh penal colonies.
The one here was Sarah island, the notorious Macquarie Harbour Penal Station (1822-1833), housing the so-called 'worst' convicts, those who had reoffended or who had escaped from other settlements. It was separated from the mainland by the wide expanse of river, surrounded by a mountainous wilderness and was hundreds of miles away from the colony's other settled areas. Impossible to escape in any durable way.
Indeed, the only mob of convicts, who actually escaped the penal settlement, when in the dense forest (or bush) ran out of food, and ended up eating each other in desperation of being unable to get very far and in not wanting to return to the jail to get mercilessly flogged. The one surviving convict was eventually caught and hanged. See the film "Van Diemen's Land" (the early name for Tasmania): en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Diemen%27s_Land_

Managed to get this shot of the iconic gate when there was almost no one around. It pays to get up early!!!
Position: The Písek Gate is a former part of the Baroque fortification system of Prague known as the Marian Walls. The gate was built in 1721 by architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandim.
See that white post in the lower left foreground? As I was setting up my tripod for this bridge shot I noticed a dark object fly past and land on that pole. Thought to myself "has to be an owl", it was 10pm. I figured it was a GHOW, but when I put my flashlight on it, it was a Short-eared Owl. I took a few long exposure shots with it illuminated before it flew off to hunt. Pretty crazy to see a SEOW in the Bay Area in June!

The absolute top of an old gate close to the temple Zoujou-ji. This is Somon (惣門), built in the early Edo period and once leading to the mausoleum of the second Edo shogun, Tokugawa Hidetada (徳川 秀忠) who died in 1632 - and the triple hollyhock crest is the symbol of the Tokugawa clan. The mausoleum itself has not survived.

The open gate says welcome ....and I would have loved to gone into this beaten-up old house but despite the open gate somehow it looked threatening!
Happy Fence Friday -- and have a great weekend too!
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor is an 18th-century neoclassical monument in Berlin, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after restoring the Orangist power by suppressing the Dutch popular unrest. One of the best-known landmarks of Germany, it was built on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to the town of Brandenburg an der Havel, which used to be the capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg.
It is located in the western part of the city centre of Berlin within Mitte, at the junction of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. One block to the north stands the Reichstag building, which houses the German parliament (Bundestag). The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, a boulevard of linden trees which led directly to the royal City Palace of the Prussian monarchs.
Throughout its existence, the Brandenburg Gate was often a site for major historical events and is today considered not only as a symbol of the tumultuous histories of Germany and Europe, but also of European unity and peace.
