These gates are made from the dried timber by hand, prior to being treated to ensure the best impregnation of timber treatment.
Here the assemblers are packing up a stack of gates they have made ready for treatment.
Gate of Amasra
Amasra derives its name from Amastris, niece of the last Persian king Darius III. She married Dionysius, tyrant of Heraclea. She combined four Ionian colonies, Sesamus, Cytorus, Cromna, also mentioned in the Iliad, and Tium. Tium, says Strabo, soon detached itself from the community, but the rest kept together, and Sesamus was the acropolis of Amastris. Amastris was a confederation or union of three places. The territory of Amastris produced a great quantity of boxwood, which grew on Mount Cytorus.
Saturday 9th June 2007. Sassafras.
Shooting against the light (again). I never cease to be awe struck by Autumn and Winter in Australia - the light assumes an almost supernatural quality - I love it.

The New Gate (Arabic: Bab al-Jedid; Hebrew: HaSha'ar HaChadash) is the newest gate in Jerusalem's Old City Walls, built in 1898 to provide direct access to the Christian Quarter for the visit of the German Emperor William II.
It is also called the Gate of Hammid after the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hamid II. The gate is located in the northwestern part of the wall and faces north.
During the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, when Jordan captured East Jerusalem (which includes the Old City of Jerusalem) it was sealed off. It was reopened again in 1967 after Israel's capture of East Jerusalem during the Six-Day War.

You can't go very far on the old East Belt / West Belt connector without hitting a private gate. Very few customers there ship by train now and the fence and gates secure the properties. This gate is at 9th Street looking east. There are several more like this west of here. I believe the farthest west connection here is J.L. Clark which is east of Kishwaukee Street. The Belt no longer crosses Kishwaukee Street.
An end to a great day in the city. We stopped off on the North side of the Golden Gate to grab a couple night shots. Quite cold, but well worth the time.
I was reminded recently that this month is the 15th anniversary of The Gates installation in Central Park by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. The Gates consisted of over 7,500 saffron-colored fabric panels throughout the park.
At the time I had uploaded a number of relatively tiny photos (I was still using dial-up!) to my blog, but I was still a few months away from joining Flickr. I'm taking the anniversary as an opportunity/excuse to upload the full size photos here. Most of the photos I took were taken in the northern sections of the park around Harlem Meer.
The Menin Gate lists the names of more than 54,000 British and Commonwealth soldiers who perished in the war but have no known grave. As bodies are still uncovered in the surrounding countryside, they are buried in one of the WWI cemeteries. If the body can be identified, the name is removed from the Menin Gate.
The Menin Gate does not include the names of all those soldiers without a grave - it is not large enough to do so. An arbitrary cut-off date was chosen, and the remaining names - including those for soldiers from New Zealand and Newfoundland - are included on other memorials including the memorial at Tyne Cot Cemetery.
