The moon gates of Bermuda

If you're familiar with traditional Chinese garden "moon gates," you may be interested to learn that these have also been incorporated into Bermuda architecture since the 1860s, when a local sea captain was inspired by his travels in China to build one here. Now Bermudian moon gates number around 40, and it's considered good luck for couples to step through them when they get married. This one is located at The Reefs, in Southhampton Parish on the island's south coast.
