Beautiful! Versailles' looks heavenly... and Place Stanislas' is wonderful as well... and what to say about the Petit Palais'... just stupendous. India's is subtle but elegant... in the end they're all beautiful in a very different way

Thanks for the pics.

It may not look like it, but this triumphal arch in St. Petersburg is entirely made of cast iron. It was not some kind of communist excess, but it was built in 1834-1838

Some amazing examples there! I'm in love with elaborate gates.


Nothing comes close to French and Indian gates, anyway.
