I've been wanting to take a reflection photo for a while and this spot was just right during sunset. There is no edit here.
The gate is located between towers 30 and 31, little remains of the original gate, and the modern reconstruction may not be accurate.
The Theodosian Walls were situated between the Sea of Marmara and the Golden Horn and have a length of 6.5 km.
The walls were completed in 413 during the reign of Theodosius II (408–50). The wall was given his name, but was actually built under the supervision of Anthemius of Byzantium, a praefectus praetorio of the Eastern Roman Empire.
From 439 onwards, the sea walls were built along the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara (Propontis), thus walling the entire peninsula on which the city was situated.
The Theodosian Walls consisted of:
- the main inner wall (5 meters thick and 12 meters high); this was separated by a terrace (peribolos) from
- the lower outer wall (2 meters thick and 8.5 meters high).
An outer terrace, the parateichion, extended between the outer wall and the moat. The moat was about 20 m (66 ft) from the outer wall. The moat itself was over 20 m (66 ft) wide and as much as 10 m (33 ft) deep, with a 1.5 m (5 ft) high crenellated wall on the inside, which served as a first line of defense.
Access to the outer wall from the city was provided through the main gates at the base of the towers of the inner wall. The outer wall also had towers, which were placed about halfway between the towers of the inner wall. They were spaced at a distance of 48–78 m (150–250 ft) from each other. Of the towers of the outer wall, 62 have survived.
The walls of Constantinople were notoriously impregnable throughout the Middle Ages. Greek engineers used a much more effective construction technique than others in the Middle Ages. The walls in the Byzantine Empire were usually not solid, but consisted of double walls filled with rubble, which allowed gaps to be quickly repaired. Numerous armies of Bulgarians, Avars, Kipchaks, Russians, Galatians and Arabs failed to penetrate the walls. The first breach of the walls came in 1204, when the Fourth Crusade laid the city to waste. Two centuries later, the city had not yet recovered from the damage of the Crusade, and in 1453, after a relatively short siege, it fell into the hands of the Turkish Ottomans.
The beach on the east side of Mingulay, Outer Hebrides, Scotland. The reason why they are starting to move into the sea was because some idiots with big cameras got too close.

Yet another MGSV post, but this MIGHT be the last one, as i accidentally broke the shrapnel off my Big Boss and lost it somewhere and, while i could make it again, i'm too lazy to re-do it for a future post. There's still another MGS1 post in the making, and after that some other videogame characters coming soon 👀

NGC 1269
This is an odd lenticular galaxy.
“NGC 1291, also known as NGC 1269, is a ring galaxy with an unusual inner bar and outer ring structure located about 33 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus. It was discovered by James Dunlop in 1826 and subsequently entered into the New General Catalogue as NGC 1291 by Johan Ludvig Emil Dreyer. John Herschel then observed the same object in 1836 and entered it into the catalog as NGC 1269 without realizing that it was a duplicate. This galaxy was cited as an example of a "transitional galaxy" by NASA's Galaxy Evolution Explorer team in 2007” Wikipedia

Dover Island, (Here in the background behind Flemming Island) is a popular bouldering site. I think someone must have been badly injured bouldering this weekend as a rescue helicopter was called out to this spot and about 20 small boats came to the sheltered side probably hoping to help evacuate the injured person. Climbing rocks without secure protections seems a bit crazy to me...
So here comes another milkyway shot from a couple of nights ago. Again taken with the Samyang 12mm (@f2 / ISO 3200). As posted in my last milkyway picture somebody that was interested what these guys on the field are doing there at night inspired us to try a shot that reminds me of those "visitors from outer space" themed movie posters. The lighting was pretty simple with just a mobile (flashlight function turned on) laying on the ground next to our feet.
