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
This is a gate to a private residence along the Cache La Poudre River in Northern Colorado. I just loved the colors surrounding it, so had to stop and get photos of it.
It's just a locked gate behind a riverfront shanty, but I thought it looked cool in the lighting of the moment. Doesn't it look tike there's a group of snow creatures on the other side?

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!
Duisburg-Ruhrort (Germany)....a foggy morning. The barge pushes through the "gate" of the reflection almost noiselessly ...
Taken at Dartmoor National Park. It was very misty and foggy that day and I was walking with a group, so had no time to set up a tripod and take a proper long exposure shot. But, the scene was so captivating that I racked up the ISO to 1600, opened the aperture fully wide at 2.8 and managed to pull the shot with a hand holdable shutter speed of 1/50 sec. on a non stabilised lens.
The Skeldergate entrance to the York City walls. On this particular day closed due to icy conditions.
Iron gate leading to the center courtyard at Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune. The Hospices de Beaune or Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune is a former charitable almshouse in Beaune, France. It was founded in 1443 by Nicolas Rolin, chancellor of Burgundy, as a hospital for the poor. The original hospital building, the Hôtel-Dieu, one of the finest examples of fifteenth-century Burgundian architecture, is now a museum.

A gate to a private dirt road to a long abandoned farmhouse sits in a field covered in snow. There is still some farm equipment down at the house, hence this high security deterrent.

Après que la première enceinte, datant du deuxième quart du XIIIe siècle, se soit révélée trop étroite après quelques décennies seulement, il fut décidé vers 1294 d'intégrer les faubourgs qui s'étaient développés le long des artères dans une nouvelle enceinte . Initialement, cette nouvelle enceinte consistait en un rempart en terre avec une palissade et, lorsque cela était possible, un fossé humide . Cependant, les portes de la ville furent d'emblée en pierre. La nouvelle enceinte fut mise en service en 1380, mais la construction se poursuivit jusque vers 1500. La deuxième enceinte, sur la rive gauche de la Meuse, mesurait 4,4 km de long, incluant environ 900 m de la première enceinte, principalement le long de la Meuse. Sa hauteur variait de 6 à 9 m. Cinq nouvelles portes de terre ou de champs et deux portes d'eau furent construites. Les portes de la Meuse existantes restèrent en service, tout comme la Helpoort (porte de l'Enfer) jusqu'à la fin du XVe siècle .
La Nieuwenhofpoortje est mentionnée pour la première fois dans une lettre aux échevins du chapitre de Saint-Servais en 1374. Cette porte est probablement identique au « Kuenenportken » mentionné dans les comptes de la ville de 1399-1400 et au « Begijnenportken » mentionné en 1463. Le nom actuel de la porte fait référence au Nieuwenhof , le béguinage adjacent , plus tard un monastère, plus tard un orphelinat et actuellement l'Université de Maastricht .
After the first city wall, dating from the second quarter of the 13th century, proved too narrow after only a few decades, it was decided around 1294 to incorporate the suburbs that had grown up along the arteries into a new city wall. Initially, this new city wall consisted of an earthen rampart with a palisade and, where possible, a wet moat. However, the city gates were made of stone from the outset. The new city wall was put into use in 1380, but construction continued until around 1500. The second city wall, on the left bank of the Meuse, was 4.4 km long, including about 900 m of the first city wall, mainly along the Meuse. Its height varied from 6 to 9 m. Five new earth or field gates and two water gates were built. The existing Maas Gates remained in use, as did the Helpoort (Hell Gate) until the end of the 15th century.
The Nieuwenhofpoortje is first mentioned in a letter to the aldermen of the chapter of Saint-Servatius in 1374. This gate is probably identical to the "Kuenenportken" mentioned in the city accounts of 1399-1400 and the "Begijnenportken" mentioned in 1463. The gate's current name refers to the Nieuwenhof, the adjacent beguinage, later a monastery, later an orphanage, and currently the University of Maastricht.
