Beverley Gate, one of five main gateways through Hull’s medieval town walls. It was here on 23rd April in 1642 that the Town’s Governor, Sir John Hotham, refused King Charles I entry to the town and access to its arsenal. Many regard this as the first open act of defiance of the English Civil War.
Beverley Gate, the main way into and out of the town from the north-west, was rebuilt in brick towards the end of the 14th century. On 23 April 1642 Charles I was refused entry to the town here by the governor of Hull, Sir John Hotham, one of the first acts of defiance which led to the English Civil War. The gate was demolished c1776 but its excavated remains and part of the curtain wall have been displayed since 1990.
In October 1536 Robert Aske led his part of the rebellion from Market Weighton through Pocklington to York. Another group of rebel forces had headed east to Hull. Hull refused to join the uprising but the town was taken. Robert Constable, who took part in the Pilgrimage of Grace was hanged in Hull in June 1537 and his body hung from the medieval Beverley Gate.
"On Frydaye, beyng market daye at Hull, Sir Robert Constable suifred, and dothe hang above the highest gate of the towne, so trymmed in cheynes, as this berer can shewe you, and I think his boones will hang there this hundrethe yere."
Henry VIII visited Hull in 1541.

This is another angle of the Golden Gate Bridge from Marshall's Beach. This is amazing place to set up your tripod and settle in for an extended shoot. The surf, clouds and marine layer are constantly changing, so no two pictures are identical.

Zion Gate, one of the 8 gates of the city of Jerusalem. The gate and the walls surrounding it are riddled with bullet marks, left from the battle for the Jewish Quarter during the Israeli War of Independence in 1948.
Zion Gate is located in the south of the Old City, facing Mount Zion. It leads into the Armenian and Jewish Quarters. It is also known as David's Gate, because the tomb of King David is often said to be on Mount Zion. The gate was built in the year 1540 for the Ottoman ruler Suleiman the Magnificent.

Golden Gate Highlands NP has a "vulture restaurant", where meat is occasionally but out for the benefit of Cape Vultures and Lammergier. We visited a couple times, and although there was no fresh meat and therefore no vultures, we did see this jackal, which was fun. We didn't see any jackals in Kruger, which surprised me a bit as they were very common in Namibia.

Geunjeongmun Gate at Gyeongbokgung in Seoul, Korea
Gyeongbokgung, also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace, was the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty. Built in 1395, it is located in northern Seoul, South Korea. The largest of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon dynasty, Gyeongbokgung served as the home of Kings of the Joseon dynasty, the Kings' households, as well as the government of Joseon.
Gyeongbokgung continued to serve as the main palace of the Joseon dynasty until the premises were destroyed by fire during the Imjin War and abandoned for two centuries. However, in the 19th century, all of the palace's 7,700 rooms were later restored under the leadership of Prince Regent Heungseon during the reign of King Gojong. Some 500 buildings were restored on a site of over 40 hectares. The architectural principles of ancient Korea were incorporated into the tradition and appearance of the Joseon royal court.
In the early 20th century, much of the palace was systematically destroyed by Imperial Japan. Since then, the walled palace complex is gradually being reconstructed to its original form. Today, the palace is arguably regarded as being the most beautiful and grandest of all five palaces. It also houses the National Palace Museum of Korea and the National Folk Museum within the premises of the complex.
A set of gates to All Saints Primary School, Waddington. The gates were designed and made by Richard Bett. The design was inspired by one of the most important people to have lived in Waddington - George Boole. Boole invented Boolean Logic, the digital language of computers, and these shapes are how logic gates are shown on an electronic schematic.
The bell tower is unique because it also functions as a gate. This particular gate/bell tower contains a bronze bell with an inscription dating it to 1702. The structure itself may have been constructed in 1633 (probably rebuilt after fires of 1638). If my information is correct, it used to be a gate for the Toshogu Shrine and converted to a bell tower.

The Brandenburg Gate is a former city gate and one of the main symbols of Berlin and Germany. It is located west of the city center at the intersection of Unter den Linden and Ebertstraße, immediately west of the Pariser Platz. It is the only remaining gate of a series through which one formerly entered Berlin. One block to the north stands the Reichstag. The gate is the monumental entry to Unter den Linden, the renowned boulevard of linden trees which formerly led directly to the city palace of the Prussian monarchs. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by Karl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. The Brandenburg Gate was restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin (Berlin Monument Conservation Foundation). Today, it is considered one of Europe's most famous landmarks.
