Lenton Lodge, gateway to this stately pile where they are currently filming the latest Batman film. I used to love visiting here as a kid.

Oh, and this:

As with any gateway you pass through and don't stop.

Away w work again so can't post pics at mo but -

The is a doorway on a backstreet in Rome behind the forum, I think it's to a monastery, just a plain unassuming gate with a keyhole in, look though the keyhole and there is a perfectly aligned view of the Vatican beyond the monastery gardens framed With an archway of vines, truly a magnificent and secret view, I'll post the pic on Thursday when I'm back

My second is a small iron doorway in Prague with loads of hands cast into (out of) it, one is the knocker, another the door handle and to open it you almost shake the hand, but which one?! (it's opposite captain nemos underwater themed strip club)
Both architecture on a small scale but show excellent attention to detail

(Lion gate was built 2350 years ago, that blew my swede when I stood under it.)

This

Is the less than impressive main gate to this…
[img] [/img]
Apparently they hadn’t invented the wheel so the gate only had to be wide enough for a man and a mule.

The Romans however had to get horses, carts, chariots etc through…

Porte Palatine, Turin.

Malta is ace BTW. When I went to the above temple it was hotter that the surface of Mercury. Also, Valletta has the best bus station in The World!
