Needless to say, there are many doors in Evanston. Here are two more from todays walking about.

Those two are from the same street I lived on now for about a decade. Most of the houses in this street fall into one of the historical districts of Evanston. Which means that you see houses that have been around since the founding of the city. And in some cases, have only been sold once! I'm still getting accustomed to the camera, which you can see as a flash artifact above. As I was using it for fill illumination as it's been a somewhat overcast day, and foggy morning, around here close to Lake Michigan.

Once upon a time, I took a trip to Costa Rica... And I intend to go back, solely for the purpose of taking pictures of home doors. As it turns out, because of their abundance of wood, it is a tradition to build intricately carved doors for your home there. And I saw, what so far is, the most beautiful door art. But while I wait for that return trip, I can content myself with the door art in Evanston.

Another aspect of Evanston, is the high church to person ratio in the city. Grant you, it's not as high as that of Spain. But I'm guessing that one could fit Evanston's population inside the churches, at once. Here's a view into the courtyard of the church on my block.

And if you didn't already notice, Evanston has some amazing architecture. So I have plenty of samples to show, and hence expect to see many more of Evanston's door, entries, buildings, churches, parks, etc. in the future.
