This particular portal you have a photo of reminds me of the sphinx gate in "The Neverending Story" by Michael Ende. However, the real portal in this novel is the book that Bastian reads...it takes him into Fantasia. If you haven't read this novel you should its amazing!!
Thank you Stephanie! I was not familiar with this wonderful writer -- found a fascinating article about him at Equilibrismus, an equally fascinating website!
