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.

Scene at the entrance to the Manitoba Museum in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The museum tells the human and natural history of Manitoba and its diverse landscapes. Lots to see in all its galleries. The museum has reopened to the public for weekends in June. There is a new post on my blog about the museum.
