This is a Confederate Cemetary which is well maintained and has just been refurbished this past spring!

I just loved the symmetry of everything around the door and loveliness of this house.

German Village is a small area in Columbus where houses and shops are built in the German style. Lots of brick streets and lovely gardens.

UK's narrow canal boats had tiny living cabins that used to accomodate a whole family. Traditionally these cabins were highly decorated with painted scenes, castles & roses were very popular

Crossing gates were used to close the road when a train was due. Wolferton station was the "Royal" station used when the Royal family came to Sandringham. The Railway closed in 1966 & the station was once a museum but is now converted to homes.

Wraught iron gates designed by Thomas Jekyll. Presented by the people of Norwich & Norfolk to Prince Edward (future King Edward VII) & Princess Alexandra of Denmark as a wedding presnt, to celebrate their marriage on 10th march 1863.

The Mount Jackson Confederate Hospital's Cemetery, now called Our Soldiers Cemetery, was dedicated on May 10, 1866 the third anniversary of Stonewall Jackson's death. The Memorial and Decoration Day organized by the local ladies was one of the first such observances in the South. The service began with an address in the church by Major Henry Kyd Douglas, the youngest of Jackson's staff officers. Afterward, a participant wrote that ladies, gentlemen and children as well as many ex-Confederates, all carrying wreaths prepared the day before, marched to the cemetery 3/4 of a mile north of town to place those wreaths on each of the 400 graves.

Located atop South Mountain, Washington Monument State Park is named for the first completed monument dedicated to the memory of George Washington. The Washington Monument is a rugged stone tower that was initially erected by the citizens of Boonsboro in 1827.

Washington Irving's grave is located in the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Sleepy Hollow NY. My first visit there I searched and found it in a small unassuming Irving family plot behind a wrought iron gate.

The Garden Tomb in Jerusalem is considered by some to be the site of the burial and resurrection of Jesus. The site of the Garden Tomb is outside Jerusalem's Old City Walls, quite near the Damascus Gate. It is also close to the side of a rocky escarpment which resembles the face of a skull (thus fitting a possible interpretation of "Golgotha"), that is near the site Gordon identified as Calvary. The site also falls outside of the traditional walls of the first-century Jerusalem.

101 Cochine Rd. My grandfather led out, on foot, the last group of expatriates to leave Burma ahead of the Japanese advance. They carried only a few valuables and crossed the border to India. This is my grandparents' home, where my Dad grew up. The grounds slope to a lake - I often wonder if the Burmese politcal activist (name?) was under house arrest nearby.

Midnight one more night without sleepin' - Watchin' till the morning comes creepin'. Green door what's that secret you're keepin'? There's an old piano and they play it hot behind the green door Don't know what they're doin' But they laugh a lot behind the green door. Wish they'd let me in So I could find out what's behind the green door. Knocked once tried to tell 'em I'd been there Door slammed hospitality's thin there. Wonder just what's goin' on in there. Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud Behind the green door When I said Joe sent me Someone laughed out loud behind the green door. AII I want to do is join the happy crowd behind the green door. Midnight one more night without sleepin' - . . . Saw an eyeball peepin' through a smokey cloud . . . Wish they'd let me in So I could find out what's behind the green door.

Not your usual door. This bird nest was filled with tiny birds last week as Irene was headed to the east of us in NC. We tied the box it was in down to a railing on the second story as we moved my mother to our house to ride out the storm. The birds not only survived, but flew the nest just a few days later. A door to freedom for them.

This is a gate I took at the breakers in Newport RI, that I added some special effects and I put some lighting in the picture to make it look scary.

This is a picture of a church in sleepy hollow NY, that I used Holloween Blood effect on the door and added lighting to it and bloody stains good luck in the challege.

I had some fun editing the photo of Buckingham Palace shown next in album; this was my favorite result.

Ta Som, built by Jayavarman VII (1181-1220), is a small moated temple. The temple is rarely visited by tourists, but offers architecturally rich features. In more or less in its original state, as it was when rediscovered, the Ta Som East Gate is impressive. An overgrown strangler ficus (Ficus gibbosa) tree covers the wall of the gopura (tower), though the faces on the top of the gopura are left intact.

The main gateway, built in 1632-1638, to the Taj Mahal and its gardens stands on the southside of the courtyard. Detached gateways have long been muslim architectural design. It symbolizes the transition between the mundane world and Paradise, or in a more metaphysical way, a transition from the world of senses to the world of spiritualism. The gateway is richly decorated with inlay of Quaranic verses done in masterly calligraphy. Here the artists of Shah Jahan have done a remarkable job of creating an optical illusion by heightening the letters as they climb upwards so that all letters look the same size when viewed from below. Made of red sand stone, the gateway is 150ft wide and 100ft tall. The gateway is richly embellished. Of particular note are the floral arabesques fashioned from gemstones and inlaid in white marble which decorate the columns of the arches. Also impressive are the inlaid black marble inscriptions that frame the central vaulted portal.

They've blocked one of the doors into the restaurant with this lovely bench; a nice quiet spot to sit after a nice meal. The restaurant is inside an old train depot. Very different, unique and unusual inside AND outside.

Beautiful lines enhanced by such fabulous colours. One of my favourite slides. Each building has a number of different slides and it is really worth waiting for each slide to change and listen to the crowd voacalise their awe and pleasure.

This building is the same entrance as image 2129 where it is brown and white, rather medieval looking. This is such a different effect using these colours. This shows close up just how much detail has gone into each slide. It really is most impressive in real life and looks just like this.

This is the gate leading to the overflow of the Loskop Dam - a prohibited area. While taking this picture it was actually raining.
