I've always liked this cute thatched-roof Crofter's Cottage at the English Gardens in Winnipeg's Assiniboine Park. Lots of flowers in bloom around it at the moment.

Traitors' Gate at the Tower of London. The gate was built by Edward I to provide an entrance to the tower via water. Although the Tower was not built as a prison, so many people were incarcerated here over the years as enemies of the state that the water gate became known as Traitors'
Gate. As you can see from the line-up of people at the Tower, this is a pre-pandemic photo taken from a cruise along the Thames.
