Managed to get this shot of the iconic gate when there was almost no one around. It pays to get up early!!!

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 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.
Yesterday evening at the Golden Gate. The fog had just started to ease up.
The finger of fog running along the headlands above is floating on top of what is termed a marine layer. The air directly above the water is cooled by the water and becomes denser than the warm air above it and so becomes trapped, and the fog then sits on this denser layer of air. As the air above cools (setting sun), the dense air escapes and the fog dissipates. This is what is happening in the picture, about 10 minutes before the entire bridge was shrouded in fog, but as the air cooled, it was rapidly disappearing with just this finger remaining.
Yes, the gate is not square but fills the gap well. Wooden five bar gates embodies part of the character of the dales
Danby Dale in the North Yorkshire Moor National Park is one of a series of valleys that flow north into the Esk, creating a pattern of valleys and ridges that give the area its distinctive character.
Rather unusually the village of Danby sits a little bit away from the dale. Danby Beck runs into the Esk on the eastern side of Castleton. Danby village is a mile to the east, and on the opposite side of the Esk, while Danby Castle is further east, nearer to Little Fryup Dale than Danby Dale.

One of the originally three city gates to the German town of Wittstock. This is Gröper Tor (Gröper Gate), dating to the 14th century - and with the pyramid roof added in 1503. The street now runs next to the gate to the right, which it has done for at least 200 years.
