One of the Muse's on the pavilion outside the Boston Public Library and the three doorways. Notice the beautiful lanterns by the doorways, they are probably the best I have come across in town. Here is
another view of the Dartmouth Street entrance to the BPL.

It's an impressive doorway. The Boston Public Library is a beautiful old building. I could imagine, that the interior of that building is impressive too.
Your public library is really gorgeous! The beautiful, ornate wrought iron ornaments set off the stone wonderfully.
They are beyond impressive.
Oh yes. I know this doorway. Wonderful capture!!
Quite a monumental doorway! Your doorway series is grand - super! Well, so are most of your other photo, too!
This image celebrates the "palace for the people." Well done. What a serendipitous choice for your 1000th post. Congratulations!
I'm feeling right at home as I walk past this lovely outdoor space over to Copley Plaza to visit Au Bon Pain......
I love that building. I remember going there quite often when I lived in Back Bay as a teenager. One of my favorite places...that and the public gardens.
btw...have you read Dark Tide the great Boston molasses flood of 1919? It is surprisingly good and has quite a bit of Boston history.
The library reading room was a real find when I walked into it the first time! Wow! Nice angle on the sculptures outside the doors ... and yesterday, too.
My apologies for not having visited for quite some time!
What a gorgeous building! Splendiforous...I would love to spend a few hours browsing in there...and, oddly enough, I like the way libraries smell!
