"The city gate in Luebeck, Germany was built between 1464 and 1478 along the lines of Dutch models. Its purpose served both as a form of defence and as a form of prestige. Above the round-arched gateway entrance of the twin-towered construction, the inscription CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX (unity at home, peace abroad) can clearly be seen in golden letters."
I had posted a photo of this gate few years ago but not this particular photo. Please see on full screen for details.

---a form of defence and as a form of prestige---
Raj, taken into account that it was already built in 15th century, one can only be amazed, because it's still an impressive construction.

Nature in all her glory is my uplift on life and so is my love of photography. sandi ♪ ♫
Fabulous detail, color, and clarity, Raj, and good write-up too...you could even put this in the new Photojournalism Gallery if you wanted.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
It certainly looks prestigious to me, Raj. Wow. I love these architectural images from abroad (well, for me, anyway--the uncultured American ;o). Not to degrade the beauty of this structure, but the rooftops, particularly that light blue one poking up behind on the right, reminds me a little too much of the Sleeping Beauty castle at Disneyland.

If you've ever wanted to make a difference but found it hard to believe that one person could... check out the Kiva Team Caedes discussion thread and discover that anything is possible.
Very imposing and impressive Raj - could also go in the current contest.

Wow, you did a wonderful job on this Raj.
So many photos have lens distortions on structures like this. Yours looks great.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.
Raj, this is incredible, your capture is stunning. I have never viewed The Holsten Gate before, I am in awe of the structure, the details, the imagination and the workmanship ... your capture brings this to life, the details, lights and angle are simply perfect. Excellent entry!
