Carmel DoorwayWhen I was taking this photo last week I was thinking of the last time I took pictures of this doorway. I was really surprised to find out it was more than three years ago. I need to get out more often! |

Carmel LampAs if you couldn't tell already, I'm still going through the photos from our recent trip to Carmel. This was actually across the street from yesterday's photo of the day. They like vines there. And I can't blame them, it's a beautiful place.architecture 52 | brick 4 | Carmel 22 | Carmel by the Sea 16 | lamp 14 | lantern 10 | leaf 46 | light 53 | portal 1 | round 1 | vine 13 | window 5 |

La Purisima RoomI like this room, just simple and plain. This mission has been destroyed and rebuilt at least once in it's history. Fortunately it is in pretty good shape now. It's a beautiful place. |

El Paseo BenchThis photo was taken at the same time as the photo of the day for February 5, 2005. I like them both, this one is just a little simpler. Brings out the curves in the bench. |

Lucky WindowI really love these windows. They are common enough around California that I realized there must be something behind the design. This one is from a church in La Jolla, near San Diego.After a little poking around Google I found out that this four sided circle design has a long history in Moorish Architecture and Celtic design. It is called a Quatrefoil. [Quatre: "Four" in French, foil: Old English meaning "leaf"]. Not a large leap then, once you know the root of the word, to realize why these designs are common. |
