Morning photo: Arches and architecture

The built environment …

Český Krumlov door.

SUMMIT COUNTY — Every now and then my eyes wander from the natural landscapes that I love to photograph. Especially when I’m traveling, architectural features catch my attention, probably because they’re so different from here at home in the U.S. Doors, stairs, arches, towers … all of them built to last centuries. A few faves follow.
