We returned early this evening after 3 days in Florence as part of our art and architecture program. While I was there, I was attracted to the many different architectural and decorative features of doors and doorways. This posting will be the first of a few on our trip to Florence, since I took more than 250 photos while I was there. I thought a good introduction to Florence would be some of the photos I took of doors. In the following days I will attach more of the photos I took. So let me start here, and open for you the door to Florence!

In case you are not a connoisseur of doors, let me whet your appetite with the tourist type photos of Florence I will attach to my postings over the next few days...

Love the pics of doors! I took a bunch of pics of doors in Assisi. There's no end to their variety. And all so serious … except maybe for that one with graffiti.
