Fifth Avenue South

 

I walked Fifth Avenue South for the first time this season.  The French was a very good and very successful restaurant in the center space here, but it is closed now.  It has become an Italian steakhouse.

Bicycles

Admittedly, Naples is not Amsterdam.  But, at just about every moment during the day, I can expect to find bicycle riders on Vanderbilt Drive.

The View

 I walk out on the boardwalk most days.  On this day, the billowing clouds to the north were beautiful.

Veterans Day

 

On this Veterans Day I will pause photos from Southwest Florida and show one from two years ago in the Fox Point neighborhood of Providence, Rhode Island.

Red Roof

 

Another interesting house, this time with red barrel tiles on the roof.

Yellow and White

 

A very pretty house.  And I like the details on the gate.

Saint Michael

 

Saint Michael is a handsome Catholic church on Seagate, a street in Naples' Park Shore neighborhood.

I'm not Catholic, but I admire the architecture of well-designed churches, whether modern or classical.

And my favorite feature of Christian churches is stained glass.  Saint Michael has very fine stained glass.  Most of it is contemporary, but this more classical window is the one that I spent time admiring.
