The Pile gate consists of outside and inside gates; the first was built in the semicircular tower in 1537 to protect the city from invaders and monitor trade. Pile Gate was originally reached via a wooden drawbridge over a large moat; it was raised every evening, the gate was locked, and the key was handed to the ruling prince in an elaborate ceremony. Inside the gate is an old door that dates back to 1460 and above the gate is statue of Saint Blaise, the patron saint of the city.
The almost fairy-tale like second gate at Topkapı Sarayı, the palace (most of) of the Ottoman Emperors. Not pictured: the usual compliment of severed heads of execution victims.
The 500 year old Gates of Dawn is the only gate remaining in the city wall around old town Vilnius, making it a popular tourist attraction. This is the view from outside the walls, with the Aušros Vartų cobblestone street seen on the inside, leading tourists into the heart of old town.

By some random chance I visited the Darvasa Gas Crater again, taking part in the 2017 Mongol Rally. Equally as impressive and mystical this time around.

We took a mini hike today. This gate was on the grounds. It was old and pretty at the same time. I used coffeshop's magic sunset plug in. I am really liking that one.
Going through the Haast Pass March 11, 2014 West Coast, South Island, New Zealand.

Haast Pass is a mountain pass in the Southern Alps of the South Island of New Zealand. It is named for Julius von Haast, a 19th-century explorer who was also geologist for the Provincial government of Canterbury. The pass was used by Māori in pre-European times, but not on a regular basis.
It is one of the three passes where a road crosses over the Southern Alps, the other two being Lewis Pass and Arthur's Pass, although the Homer Tunnel also passes under the Main Divide. The road through Haast Pass (State Highway 6) was converted from a rough track to a formed road in 1966 and finally received a complete tarmac surface by 1995. In the early 20th century, a railway from the West Coast through the pass to Otago was considered; it would have linked the Ross Branch with the Otago Central Railway, which then terminated in Omakau. However, the line never came to fruition; the Otago Central Railway terminated in Cromwell and no railway was built south of Ross, just a lightly laid bush tramway to serve logging interests near Lake Ianthe.
Fantail falls, in the Haast pass.
The Haast Pass rises to a height of 562 metres above sea level at the saddle between the valleys of the Haast and Makarora Rivers. As such, it is the lowest of the passes traversing the Southern Alps. The Haast Pass road is devoid of any settlements between Haast and Makarora. The road passes through predominantly unmodified beech forest. The pass itself is within the limits of Mount Aspiring National Park and forms part of the boundary between Otago and the West Coast.

"Orange Gate"
It is not really a gate, and it is definitely not golden. Still......I like the ole bridge. It is estimated that there are approximately 600,000 rivets in each tower. I only counted 473,217. My wife grew impatient, so we left. As is typical, the day started out cold and cloudy, and by the time we made it to the other side, it was clear...and still pretty cold. These enormous contraptions still astonish me. I heard they designed it AND built it without computers. Does not sound very efficient to me. Regardless, still pretty impressive. Thanks for dropping in!

One day coming home from visiting friends my wife saw a house with a fancy custom metal driveway gate. She said we need to get rid of the old chain link gate and get one of those nice gates.
I said those are too expensive theirs no way we could afford it. I told her I'll make one.
There were a bazillion ideas online so i just saved a bunch of pictures and came up with something.
