It’s too bad that places around here didn’t keep their old doors.

Here they like to get rid of the old and put in new. That includes tearing down very nice old buildings to put up new ones, when the old would have served nicely.🙄

The door with the shell above is unique. Curious if you remember to which building it is attached? There must be a story…

These are magnificent doors. Sheree. Between the doors and the gates, I’m not sure I can choose a favorite. But, that second shot, through multiple doors is an amazing photo.
