Doors v17.26

by 6 Comments

Time for the weekly Thursday Doors challenge with our host Dan Antion. For those who love entrances, exits and the buildings and art that surrounds them this is the spot for you. The wonderful contributions from everywhere will delight. Share your own link in the comments on Dan’s weekly Door’s page.

This week’s doors are from Annapolis Maryland. A visit on a sunny Tuesday afternoon was a wonderful chance to walk some side streets and capture some of the local decor. Feels good to get some fresh shooting. I’ll have to keep that up for next week also.

And being today is the beginning of Commissioning Week at the United States Naval Academy, I salute the graduating class of 2026 and wish them a great ceremony next Wednesday. GO NAVY – I’ll be photographing the Academy grounds on our next visit there.
