In reply to Cynthia Moxley. Thanks so much. Let's keep each other posted on what's happening in Knoxville and other places. Can't do it all, but fun trying!!!

I haven’t been to St. Augustine, as my friend Madge would say, “since Rome burned!” These pics make me want to go back.

In reply to Oh, the Places We See. Or peer through the cracks in old doors. Or hold my camera up so I can photograph whatever is inside. LOL –Curt

In reply to dunelight. Thanks for commenting and for the compliment. Beauty is everywhere -- from the well-known to the ordinary. Would love to return with more spare time!

In reply to Curt Mekemson. Gates like those always are enticing. In New Orleans and Charleston, we've often tip-toed to look over the gates and peer into the courtyards beyond! Lovely. Hope you get back to St. Augustine. I'm pretty sure there's even more to see that what we shared.

Great photo essay. People have told me before that St. Augustine was cool and worth the trip. Your photos conveyed that quite well.

Loved the visit. I’ve been to St. Augustine, but not to savor it like you have. I definitely want to visit again. As for today, I so wanted to check out what was behind the grillwork gate. –Curt

In reply to Sue Slaght. Sue, you've selected one of our favorite shots, too. We love architecture -- frequently look up to see windows, fretwork, cupolas, etc. Travel involves seeing the "biggies" on the tourist map, but also the "smalls" of the real world! Thanks for your comment.

What a fabulous variety of photos you have captured in this town! You are so right that often what seems ordinary, on closer look is quite extraordinary. My favorite photos is the old wooden window. Imagine everything the shutters have held in and when opened how much they have exposed.

In reply to cindy knoke. Thanks so much, Cindy. The town is beautiful but so are the little byways and residential areas. Hope your Valentine's Day was lovely, too.
