The India Gate is a national monument of India. Situated in the heart of New Delhi, it was designed by Sir Edwin Lutyens.
It commemorates the 70,000 Indian soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the British Army during the World War I. The memorial bears the names of more than 13,516 British and Indian soldiers killed in the Northwestern Frontier in the Afghan war of 1919.
The foundation stone of India Gate was laid by His Royal Highness, the Duke of Connaught in 1921. The monument was dedicated to the nation 10 years later by the then Viceroy, Lord Irwin.

Gate from Kimmeridge coast path onto the Lulworth Range walk. Tyneham Cap and Gad Cliff in the distance.
Two opposing forces battling it out over the key entrance to the fortified city.
With their standards on display, who can win? The attackers with their seige weapons, or the defenders with their archers and superior numbers?
Zion Gate is one of the primary access points to the Jewish Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City. During the Israeli war for independence in 1948, Jewish paramilitary forces assaulted the gate in an effort to gain access to the Old City. It was riddled with bullet holes during their fighting with Jordanian troops. The damage remains there today.
Sometimes the fog comes in from the ocean via the gap that is spanned by the Golden Gate Bridge.
This occurs mainly in summer when there is a big temperature difference between the warm hinterlands and the cold ocean currents from Alaska - just like condensation will form on the outside of a cold glass of beer.
For tourists wearing shorts and T-shirts, expecting to enjoy summer in Californai, this has the effect of turning them into a light shade of blue.
The Chinatown Friendship Gate in Downtown Philadelphia at 10th & Arch. It was completed in early 1984 as a symbol of the relationship between Philadelphia and sister-city, Tianjin. The 88-ton, 40 foot-tall gate is the first Chinese gate built in America by artists from China.

“Gate to Perseus” is an image composition that contains all of the Perseid meteors captured from August 9th, 11th, 12th and 13th 2023. This beautiful astronomical view is accompanied by an ancient Roman temple called “Los Mármoles”, in Extremadura, Spain.
The Perseids are also known as the "Tears of Saint Lawrence", because their appearance more or less coincides with the feast of this saint (August 10). Deacon Laurentius was martyred in the Rome of Emperor Valerian on that day of the year 258. Tradition says that that night a display of shooting stars could be seen in the sky.

At the end of Meech Lake I came across this fine gate. I could see at least four cameras. The sign said that "Access to this area is prohibited for public safety reasons." and left a phone number (which I will phone)
The gate is visible on Google Maps (http://tinyurl.com/lucnh) and there is a large, somewhat unusual complex down the road. The prime minister does have a cottage on the lake.

The Menin Gate is one of four memorials to the missing in Belgian Flanders which cover the area known as the Ypres Salient. Broadly speaking, the Salient stretched from Langemarck in the north to the northern edge in Ploegsteert Wood in the south, but it varied in area and shape throughout the war.
The Salient was formed during the First Battle of Ypres in October and November 1914, when a small British Expeditionary Force succeeded in securing the town before the onset of winter, pushing the German forces back to the Passchendaele Ridge. The Second Battle of Ypres began in April 1915 when the Germans released poison gas into the Allied lines north of Ypres. This was the first time gas had been used by either side and the violence of the attack forced an Allied withdrawal and a shortening of the line of defence.
There was little more significant activity on this front until 1917, when in the Third Battle of Ypres an offensive was mounted by Commonwealth forces to divert German attention from a weakened French front further south. The initial attempt in June to dislodge the Germans from the Messines Ridge was a complete success, but the main assault north-eastward, which began at the end of July, quickly became a dogged struggle against determined opposition and the rapidly deteriorating weather. The campaign finally came to a close in November with the capture of Passchendaele.
The German offensive of March 1918 met with some initial success, but was eventually checked and repulsed in a combined effort by the Allies in September.
The battles of the Ypres Salient claimed many lives on both sides and it quickly became clear that the commemoration of members of the Commonwealth forces with no known grave would have to be divided between several different sites.
The site of the Menin Gate was chosen because of the hundreds of thousands of men who passed through it on their way to the battlefields. It commemorates casualties from the forces of Australia, Canada, India, South Africa and United Kingdom who died in the Salient. In the case of United Kingdom casualties, only those prior 16 August 1917 (with some exceptions). United Kingdom and New Zealand servicemen who died after that date are named on the memorial at Tyne Cot, a site which marks the furthest point reached by Commonwealth forces in Belgium until nearly the end of the war. New Zealand casualties that died prior to 16 August 1917 are commemorated on memorials at Buttes New British Cemetery and Messines Ridge British Cemetery.
The YPRES (MENIN GATE) MEMORIAL now bears the names of more than 54,000 officers and men whose graves are not known. The memorial, designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield with sculpture by Sir William Reid-Dick, was unveiled by Lord Plumer on 24 July 1927
Looking across country towards the ancient neolithic burial ground (barrow) of Minninglow Hill in the Peak District. Minninglow Hill can be seen where the clump of trees is visible on the hill above the right hand side (about a third of the way) of the gate, and is seen from the trackbed of the former light railway leading towards Cromford, now designated as The High Peak Trail.
The Gerasa of Antiquity, is the capital and largest city of Jerash Governorate (محافظة جرش), which is situated in the north of Jordan, 48 km (30 miles) north of the capital Amman towards Syria.
The ancient city of Jerash boasts an unbroken chain of human occupation dating back more than 6,500 years. The city's golden age came under Roman rule and the site is now generally acknowledged to be one of the best preserved Roman provincial towns in the world. Hidden for centuries in sand before being excavated and restored over the past 70 years, Jerash reveals a fine example of the grand, formal provincial Roman urbanism that is found throughout the Middle East.
This is the gate leading up to Seiganto Ji (temple) high up in the hills in Wakayama. The temple is stunning inside and though we stayed in their guest house and went to the 5 am fire ceremony and spoke to several of the priests I didn't dare to ask if I could photograph there.
