I have a whole bunch of lovely door photos to share with you all! Thanks Norm 2.0 for providing us with a venue and community of fellow door lovers. I have been admiring quite a few of these doors since we were first looking for a house in this neck of the woods. I’m happy to report that I got some mid-day pictures and hope to go back for some golden hour photos in different seasons.
I’m going to start with one of my favorite places in Morristown, the library. The main entrance is a little mundane, but it has some wonderful alternatives.
It doesn’t look like much from the street, but there is a vestibule before the door that has some interesting views.
Here is a view of the whole building. The older part of the building dates back to Dec. 13, 1917. It has an interesting history if you want to know more click here.
The sunny side of the building has a really wonderful door. I took some closeups so you can really appreciate it.
The quote on the door is from Wordsworth:
“Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,
Are a substantial world, both pure and good:
Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood,
Our pastime and our happiness will grow.”
― William Wordsworth
Did you go somewhere beautiful recently?
Charming:)
Thanks!
Weirdly I was in Morristown this afternoon, but only to catch a train back to Manhattan. Clearly I’ve missed something lovely there.
Well, maybe next time we can meet up! How strange is life?
Indeed, on both counts!
It’s amazing what we notice when we start paying attention for it eh?
You have some great finds here 🙂
Thanks for the kind words. I’m excited to share the rest of the doors I found. Thanks for providing such a fun challenge.
