The building with the arches....

Lots of arches

From eid6161's pretty entry way and door

Stunning Art Nouveau Door by architect Lavirotte, c 1901. Avenue Rapp, Paris

This archway to Norwich Cathedral was built by citizens as penance for arson and rioting, which had been sparked by some monks taking it upon themselves to murder some rowdy local revellers in 1272.

Henry III had to intervene due to ongoing tensions and killings, and ended up siding with the monks. In addition to making the city pay a fine and build the archway, he had 30 of the riot ringleaders executed.

I thought today would be 'frost or ice' so I had a picture in mind. I'm hoping you'll let me use it today still.

I'll use one of the doors above.

This is frost on my aluminum door heading out to the fire escape

Bridge near the Sunflower fields...WI

Arches reminded me of the basket handle at the Longaberger Baskets Homestead in Ohio. Yup, that’s my profile picture.

The New Bridge over the gorge in Ronda, Spain. Defenestration was performed from the windows under the arch, which was used as a prison. Those sentenced to death were shoved out the windows.

nhbaskets....I love that picture. I have a couple Longabergers and I love them.

Do you remember when they had the "Longaberger" home parties and sold

them? I had a niece that did that for awhile. Can't remember, was that the only

way to get them? Kind of fun. :)

Muckross Abbey, Ireland and the 400 year old Yew tree that’s growing inside

Uptown Gal-they started with home parties, then they opened the Homestead in Ohio where they sold special baskets and home goods. We go to Ohio every summer, so I made it a point to visit. You can now purchase older baskets online, at a much reduced price than they originally sold for. I began collecting in 1989 and stopped counting when I hit 100. Please don’t judge. ;) The company closed, but has now reopened with new ownership and you can buy them on QVC.

NHbaskets...I have what I think was called a "catalog basket", and a 'bread

basket.' Both the same medium brown. I think I got them pretty close to

the same time you started collecting. :) I have used them ever since in

one way or the other and they still look good as new. :)

Arches and green stairs. Jersey Street, New York City.

The fort at Fort Travis on Bolivar Island near Galveston.

Live Oak at the Alamo... It was apparently 40 years old when it was transplanted and moved there in 1912.

The arches of the form of my cream cheese pound cake. Yum!
