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 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 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.
Another foggy morning drive in the country. I almost missed this because I noticed it while in a curve in the road. Sometimes we capture images and notice the tiny details after the fact like the gate in this image.
Thanks for stopping by
The Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburger Tor) is an 18th-century neoclassical triumphal arch in Berlin, and one of the best-known landmarks of Germany. It is 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. During the post-war Partition of Germany, the gate was isolated and inaccessible immediately next to the Berlin Wall, and the area around the gate was featured most prominently in the media coverage of the tearing down of the wall in 1989.

The Nandaimon Gate which stands at the Tōdaiji temple entrance in Nara, Japan, is the largest gate of its kind in Japan, with the two guardians within known as the two kings of Tōdaiji.
Tōdaiji was once one of Japan’s Seven Great Temples, it houses the world’s largest bronze Buddha. As one of the main sites of interest in Nara, the Temple was originally built in 752 and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
I stitched two shots to create this photo, and no, I was never tempted to remove the people from this shot. Below is a photo of the Tōdaiji Temple with a partial view of the visitors for perspective.

Isozaki Atea (2004), designed by Arata Isozaki. Atea means 'gate', so this could be a gate to the city, after you have passed Zubizuri ('the white bridge') designed by Santiago Calatrava in 1997.

Golden Gate Bridge. It's fun to imagine the Gate—pre-bridge— when it really was an open passage (until 1937). See some history below.
Taken from Fort Point (South End)
Fort Point National Historic Site defended San Francisco Bay from California's Gold Rush to World War II. Its brick masonry matches the Golden Gate Bridge.
From its vantage point overlooking the spectacular Golden Gate, Fort Point protected San Francisco harbor from Confederate & foreign attack during & after the U.S. Civil War. Its beautifully arched casemates display the art of the master brick mason from the Civil War period.
The fort was designed to mount 126 massive cannon. Rushed to completion at the beginning of the Civil War, Fort Point was first garrisoned in February of 1861 by Company I, 3rd U.S. Artillery Regiment. The fort was occupied throughout the Civil War, but the advent of faster, more powerful rifled cannon made brick forts such as Fort Point obsolete. In 1886 the troops were withdrawn, and the last cannon were removed about 1900. The fort was then used for storage and training purposes for many years.
Between 1933 and 1937 the fort was used as a base of operations for the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge. During World War II, Fort Point was occupied by about 100 soldiers who manned searchlights and rapid-fire cannon mounted atop the fort as part of the protection of a submarine net strung across the entrance to the Bay.
