Today I decided it was time to do a winter version of my land. It will be called Gates of Memories. This is just a tiny little corner of it and once its finished you are very welcome to visit.
Managed to get this shot of the iconic gate when there was almost no one around. It pays to get up early!!!
An open gate, but what's behind it? Who knows ??
Go on or not?

See that white post in the lower left foreground? As I was setting up my tripod for this bridge shot I noticed a dark object fly past and land on that pole. Thought to myself "has to be an owl", it was 10pm. I figured it was a GHOW, but when I put my flashlight on it, it was a Short-eared Owl. I took a few long exposure shots with it illuminated before it flew off to hunt. Pretty crazy to see a SEOW in the Bay Area in June!
Yesterday evening at the Golden Gate. The fog had just started to ease up.
The finger of fog running along the headlands above is floating on top of what is termed a marine layer. The air directly above the water is cooled by the water and becomes denser than the warm air above it and so becomes trapped, and the fog then sits on this denser layer of air. As the air above cools (setting sun), the dense air escapes and the fog dissipates. This is what is happening in the picture, about 10 minutes before the entire bridge was shrouded in fog, but as the air cooled, it was rapidly disappearing with just this finger remaining.
Yes, the gate is not square but fills the gap well. Wooden five bar gates embodies part of the character of the dales
Danby Dale in the North Yorkshire Moor National Park is one of a series of valleys that flow north into the Esk, creating a pattern of valleys and ridges that give the area its distinctive character.
Rather unusually the village of Danby sits a little bit away from the dale. Danby Beck runs into the Esk on the eastern side of Castleton. Danby village is a mile to the east, and on the opposite side of the Esk, while Danby Castle is further east, nearer to Little Fryup Dale than Danby Dale.
One of the largest temple gates in Japan, the original was built in 752 but was destroyed in a typhoon 210 years later in 962, the gate we see today was rebuilt and completed in 1203.

..... über die Golden Gate laufen, stand auf meiner "To Do Liste". Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis....
..... walking across the Golden Gate was on my "to do list". It was an unforgettable experience....
I name this scene with the same name as Rodin's great artwork, not only because its shape but also the whole atmosphere, when everything is frozen, the waterfall drains the whole world inside, as the gates of hell.
Sunset rays glinting on the decorative tops of the vertical bars of an old gate. Spotted in my local suburb.
On the stone slabs of the panels in the Menin Gate, on the walls of the stairs and under the galleries, about 55 000 names of missing and unidentified persons from WOI....

Une autre vue du Golden gate de San Francisco. La brume habituelle sur une partie du pont.
Another view of the Golden Gate in San Francisco. The usual fog covering part of the bridge.

I had high hopes for my shots from San Francisco, however the weather finally caught up with us and things did not go to plan. We wanted the fog on the roadway but it never got lower than the tower tops of the Golden Gate Bridge.
However, shot from the beach, I love this capture with the halos from the tower lights trying to fight their way through the cloud of fog. The fog was only in this position for a short time prior to the sun rising and I was pleased to capture this unusual perspective of this iconic San Francisco landmark.
