Thursday Doors
Last Saturday I visited St. Anthony’s Greek Orthodox Monastery in Florence, Arizona. I’ll be posting more photos in the next ten days, but I’m thrilled to have several nice doors to post for the challenge this week.
The first is the fairly simple door to St. George’s Chapel.
This is what it looks like from the inside. How lovely the stained glass looks with the sun shining through. Notice there are two more doorways, with split doors open. 
This is what the innermost doors look like.
Here is a closeup of the upper carving, showing St. George defeating the dragon.
This is the entrance to St. Demetrios’ Chapel.
Here is a closer photo of the sparkling mosaic over the door. Note also the dimensional brickwork surrounding the door.
Check out Norm’s doors here, and in the comments on his post are links to other participants in this week’s challenge.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Old and New
When I saw that “old and new” is the prompt for this week’s Fun Foto Challenge, I knew just what to post.
Our south-facing garage side door got scorched during its third-seven-year tenure in the Arizona sun.
Our good friend, Rex, offered to install a new one for us.
Ah! Some painting still required, but so much better!

Thursday Doors
I’m participating in Norm 2.0’s Thursday Doors photo challenge today. We will soon be replacing the side door to our garage. Everything that faces south in Arizona gets sunburned.
