"Library doors are a gateway to anywhere."
Boston Public Library - Copley Square
Yeah - so - this challenge had me stumped
doors - everywhere - mostly nondescript...
Then I happened upon the quote above
- and because - well - I can spend hours in a library - exploring
I knew what I needed to do -
Another lunchtime walk to Copley Square,
watching as people entered this majestic gateway to anywhere...
"I always felt if I can get to a library, I'll be OK." Maya Angelou

Great... the challenge made you think outside of the box.
ReplyDeleteSomewhere an elderly lady reads a book on how to use the internet, while a young boy googles "how to read a book". LOL
A very beautiful door. Have a wonderful new week!
ReplyDeleteooooh andy's comment is great!! my favorite door's to walk through, anywhere that my boys are. i enjoy walking through the doors of a movie theater, escaping reality for a while. and the doors exiting the hospital, after a long, inpatient stay!
ReplyDeletethe image is awesome, i am loving the reflection - and you're right, most door are nondescript and don't evoke any special feelings!!
As an avid reader, I love doors to libraries as well, though it's the destination rather than the door itself that draws me. OLD doors may be my favorites to walk through. I love old homes and old buildings, and enjoy any chance I get to explore one.
ReplyDeleteHow true that quote is. I am recently changing my living room, and have a huge bookcase. My daughter told me I should donate all my books... My husband was wondering if she had ever met me. Books are the gateway to everywhere, and love your lunch shot
ReplyDeleteThat is a wonderful quote. I do enjoy walking into the door at work. Teaching can be crazy, but it is still great.
ReplyDeleteI am really enjoying following along with you on your challenge....I love old beautifully carved doors as I always feel there must be an adventure just waiting to happen behind that door. Kinda like C.S. Lewis wrote about in some of his books. I love the reflection of the iron work in your photo....So pretty...
ReplyDeleteA wonderful doorway to an amazing place. Sometimes we do take doors for granted, but they really do lead us into and out of some beautiful places. I love old shop doors with tinkling bells :) xx K
ReplyDeleteWhat a beauty this is, Karen!
ReplyDeleteI think that door are some of the most interesting subjects to photograph.
Didn't you find the most wonderful & enchanting door for your challenge! I love it & the possibilities this library entrance presents to all who venture through its doors!
ReplyDeleteGreat perception with the door! Love the quote... I don’t have a fav door but I always like to step out of the door.
ReplyDeleteI think street photography could become a thing for you!
ReplyDeleteI am fascinated by doors, old and new. Something about the door being the gateway to what's hidden behind maybe. I especially love doors in old buildings, because there's nothing utilitarian about them. Even a modest building can have a grand doorway, and I love that.
