What Happens In Dubrovnik, Stays In Dubrovnik

Over at EW they sent TV writer James Hibberd to visit the set of the second season of A Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik (dammit, somebody send me to the set of the second season of A Game of Thrones in Dubrovnik!) and he got to publish a few snaps from his trip. Like this waterside fortress, which will apparently be part of King's Landing:


I guess it's not big enough for Dragonstone, but that's what I thought it was a picture of at first. And then there's that waterside castle that becomes a plot point in the latest book... Storm's End maybe? I am so bad with specifics. Anyway it is neither, apparently. And then there's a picture of this giant gate lined with armored men:


He doesn't say what that gate is for, and I'll be damned if my memory of the second book is strong enough to guess. Perhaps it's the main King's Landing gate? Or is it somewhere Dany visits? The costumes seem more in tune with Dany's storyline than they would the knights of King's Landing, I suppose. Anyway he also got a picture of Dany's horse, with it's three dragon baskets:


Alas no dragons. Those bitches probably only show up to the set when it's call time and otherwise are off getting mani-pedis and chilling with Mary Kate.
