Shield of David

This is

the National Synagogue

in Washington, DC.

I won't

spoil the effect

with inadequate words.

New Door, Mature Facade

Lovely, mature brick facade

(early 20th century cigar factory)

meets handsome, fit young pair of doors.

Grand old dame adopts twins.

Amazing how the spartan contemporary lines

of these new doors do not seem out of place

nestled in this crusty brick alcove.

Granted, the pattern in the glass

is very art deco,

and also reminiscent of craftsman style,

with a tip of the hat to Frank Lloyd Wright

and Tiffany.

Attractive.

Appealing.

Artsy.

Ahh!-inspiring.

Taken on 2 August 2010,

in Ybor City,

Tampa, Florida.
