The photo captures part of the modern, minimalist roof structure of Rotterdam Central Station juxtaposed against the backdrop of the Delftse Poort buildings. The architecture of Rotterdam Central Station is characterized by its sleek, modern design, with intricate steelwork and expansive glass panels. In contrast, the Delftse Poort buildings stand tall with their distinctive architecture, adding depth and character to the urban landscape. As the Dutch word "poort" means "gate", I consider both the Central Station and the Deltse Poort buildings as "gates" of the city, hence the title.
