From Wikipedia:- Built in 1464, the Brick Gothic construction is one of the relics of Lübeck's medieval city fortifications and one of two remaining city gates, the other being the Citadel Gate (Burgtor). Known for its two-round towers and arched entrance, it is regarded today as a symbol of the city. Together with the old city centre (Altstadt) of Lübeck it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987.
I have to thank Anita for the gate! Sitting on the opposite side of the car I did not at first see it, but as she was composing her shot she muttered something about getting the gate in.... LOL anyway I managed to get the gate in while twisting myself into a pretzel shape so I could shoot past her and through the car window. Pretty pleased with the results!
Gwanghwamun Gate is the largest entrance to the Gyeongbokgung Palace, located in Seoul, South Korea. Constructed in 1395, this was the main residence for royals during the Joseon Dynasty. The location on a major three-way intersection makes Gwanghwamun Gate amazing to capture at night. This particular photograph was taken right after sunset with a fading blue sky for the backdrop. Since the exposure lasts many seconds, you can see streaks running across the picture which is cars and buses.
Back to random posts for awhile, till my next series.
This passage thru this wall is also called the Sinclair Canyon Falls, It is one of the first visual rewards and clues of the beauty ahead when entering BC's Kootenay National Park from Radium Hot Springs BC.
Hwy 93 (Banff-Windermere hwy) barely squeezes thru this tight chasm. An engineering marvel, and thrill when seeing and driving thru it.
This is the western entrance to the park which leads to Banff National Park. My preferred route. Spectacular scenery in every direction ahead.
Happy Friday!
Or rather what its left of the once imposing gate to the north of the ancient Roman city of Cologne. The ruins are almost 2000 years old and in the immediate vicinity of the entrance to Cologne Cathedral. Fuji X-Pro1.

The Lion Gate was the main entrance of the Bronze Age citadel of Mycenae, southern Greece. It was erected during the 13th century BC, around 1250 BC in the northwest side of the acropolis and is named after the relief sculpture of two lionesses or lions in a heraldic pose that stands above the entrance.
The Lion Gate is the sole surviving monumental piece of Mycenaean sculpture, as well as the largest sculpture in the prehistoric Aegean. It is the only monument of Bronze Age Greece to bear an iconographic motif that survived without being buried underground, and the only relief image which was described in the literature of classical antiquity, such that it was well known prior to modern archaeology.

The Brandenburg Gate is one of the most iconic sights in today’s vibrant Berlin. More than just Berlin’s only surviving historical city gate, this site came to symbolise Berlin’s Cold War division into East and West – and, since the fall of the Wall, a reunified Germany. Architecturally, the sandstone Brandenburg Gate also represents one of the earliest and most attractive examples of a neo-classical building in Germany.
The Victoria Gate shopping centre in Leeds, England, was built in 2016 and forms part of the Victoria Leeds shopping district. The facade of the car park comprises many strips of stainless steel that have been meticulously twisted to create a beautiful pattern as the sunlight reflects off them - this pattern is a continuation of the design theme used throughout the building exterior.
Had to cross the street and take this shot. More dogs barking at me at their gate. I had another shot like this of other dogs recently. This would have been good for "Big versus Small" on the past Crazy Tuesday!
I was talking via comments to someone about photo's even old ones being memories laid down using photography. this is a case in point that as you can see was taking in 2010...It bought memories of that day flooding back and i even remembered where we parked and going through the kissing gate (grabbing a kiss of course :) and walking up to that church. My late husband would have been aged 61 yrs and still in good health then. I don't shy away from memories ever..and finding this among the lost folders hidden on my hard drive bought with it many happy memories..Sue..
