Heunginjimun or Dongdaemun, is one of The Eight Gates of Seoul in the Fortress Wall of Seoul. The Korean name "Dongdaemun" means "Great East Gate," and it was so named because it was the major eastern gate in the wall that surrounded Seoul during the Joseon Dynasty.
The structure was first built by King Taejo during his fifth year of reign (1398). It was renovated in 1453, and the current structure is the one rebuilt in 1869.

Un ponte sospeso che divide l'oceano Pacifico dalla baia di San Francisco. E' stato terminato nel 1937 e, all'epoca, era il ponte sospeso più lungo al mondo. E' lungo in totale 2,71 km e la distanza fra le due torri è di 1282 mt.
E' riconosciuto unanimemente come il simbolo di San Francisco
San Francisco - Golden Gate Sunset
After an exhausting but exciting day in San Francisco, we where already on our way back to Stinson Beach when suddenly we saw this great sunset behind the Golden Gate Bridge. Fortunately I found a place to park near the shore at Presidio and managed to take a few shots with my Olympus. I hope you like them....☺

Yesterday's post of the storefront gate reminded me that this one has been hanging around for awhile. Another morning roaming through Albuquerque's old town before the shops open.
Happy Bench Monday!
Another shot of the rusty, iron gate within the grounds of Lauriston Castle.
While I've taken and posted a couple of other shots of this detail of the gate, today I wanted the out-of-focus background to reflect the autumnal colours that abound in the grounds of this lovely, old house.
I was also very impressed with the image stabilisation of my humble Olympus OM-D 10 II; this image was taken hand-held at the 300 mm (600 mm equivalent) end of the lens at just 1/30s!

Our little side gate, with a glorious new outlook on life - sand blasted and powder coated, I think it is better than new!

Fyndon's Gate was part of Canterbury's St Augustine's Abbey. The abbey gatehouse was rebuilt from 1301 to 1309 by Abbot Fyndon. It has since been known as the Fyndon Gate or the Great Gate. The chamber above the entrance was the state bed-chamber of the Monastery. In 1625, Charles I of England and Queen Henrietta Maria slept in this chamber, following their marriage in Canterbury Cathedral. In 1660, after the Restoration, Charles II and his brothers, the Dukes of York and Gloucester, stayed in the gatehouse on their way to London.
Fyndon's gate suffered such damage by German bombs during the Second World War that it had to be rebuilt. The gate faces a small square known since the reign of Charles I as Lady Wootton's Green."
St Augustine's Abbey was a Benedictine monastery that was founded in 598 and functioned as a monastery until its dissolution in 1538 during the English Reformation. After the abbey's dissolution, it underwent dismantlement until 1848. Since 1848, part of the site has been used for educational purposes and the abbey ruins have been preserved for their historical value.
