Very interesting side entrance to this amazing church, which looks down upon Budapest. The view from this spot looking down into the city is wonderful.
Flight 93 Museum
I’ve been holding this photo back for some time. I have no reason why. I loved the leading lines and the design of this structure. This is the entrance to the Flight 93 Museum outside of Pittsburgh. The building is great but the material inside is powerful and sad stuff.

Szentendrei Door
While we (MJ, Kris, Scott and I) were in Hungary, we stopped by this little artist village for an afternoon. It had a bunch of very small streets, alleys, and foot paths between buildings that are not in a logical pattern. Most of the buildings are homes with unique entrances like this one. I stopped to take so many photos, I lost the rest of our group. They kept going (I was supposed to catch up) and after 5 minutes I was lost in these little streets. I thought I knew what direction they went, but I was wrong. So I wandered around for another 30 minutes before they found me….. They grabbed an outdoor spot at a café and saw me walking by. Honestly, I knew I wasn’t in trouble because we had a time and place to meet later for our trip back to Budapest, but I wasn’t sure I’d find them before that. It all worked out and we had an amazing lunch at this cafe (see some iPhone food photos of the lunch below).

Here is the entrance to the Havana Bar on the Carnival Vista cruise ship. I’m real busy right now…so that’s it for the post.

Don’t forget to check out my photo galleries. I recently updated them.
First United Methodist
I don’t know what it is about doors, but I’m always drawn towards photographing them. These doors are from the First United Methodist Church in Washington PA. The church started in 1784 and moved to this building in 1876. Presidents Andrew Jackson and Ulysses S. Grant both attended services with this church during their time when traveling through the area. Regardless, I like this photo and I hope you do as well.

Palace of the Grandmaster
Officially known as The Palace, the Grandmaster’s Palace is in the walled city of Valletta Malta. It was built starting in the 16th century and they finished it in the 18th century. It was originally built as a palace of the Grand Master of the Order of St. John, who ruled Malta and at that time, they called it the Magisterial Palace. Today it serves as the Office of the President of Malta and as a museum.
I took this photo inside the Palace. I just loved the mural painted around this entrance and how it worked (matched) with the marble flooring.

Harrison's Grand Entrance
I took this photo of James Harrison as he entered the stadium at the last Steelers home game. Some guys just run out of the tunnel when their name is called. Some guys wave to the crowd or point at the sky. James just walks out like he owns the entire stadium. Attitude!!!

Residential Door in Maras Peru
After a tour of the Salinas de Maras (salt flats) and Moray (Inca archaeological concentric terraces), we spent some time in the small village of Maras. This very small village had narrow cobble stone streets with lots of interesting residential doors. This picture is an example of one such door. You can’t tell by looking at the picture, but the doors were only about 5 feet tall, which was typical of the doors in many old residential structures around Peru. The old government and cathedrals were the exact opposite. Many of them had doors over 20 feet tall.
Anyway, something about these doors caught my attention and I spent some time capturing them with my camera. By the way, I’ll post some pictures from the Salinas de Maras and Moray in the future.
Have a great weekend.

Entrance To Maximum Security
I took this picture last year while touring the West Virginia State Penitentiary in Moundsville WV. I posted some other pictures and information from this location in the past. You can see that here: http://brook-ward.com/blog/2013/6/15/walkin-the-line
This picture is the transition point from the normal prison population into the really, really bad boys held in Maximum Security.
