On Doors

The EXTERIORS of the houses along the Amalfi Coast often blurred one into the next —one stucco building giving way to another, sometimes with only a change in paint color to mark the property line…  

But the DOORS!

Each DOOR was unique, telling a story about the lives that dwelled behind it.  Many were paneled and adorned with antique brass or bronze hardware worn to an authentic patina.  Most doors were arched and recessed into the stucco walls, framed in brick or stone. 

Why so many GREEN? I asked myself.

Is GREEN the color of hospitality?
