Motif Monday: Gloucester Crossing

It’s not common to integrate a bridge into New England homes. From where I was standing, a few of the intriguing thresholds in Gloucester and Rockport that announce their entry. Whether simple or ornate, necessary or whimsical, or both –who doesn’t like a journey and a bit of suspension? I enjoy thinking about themes of transition, space and connections.

Interesting Design Down On Rocky Neck

Down on Rocky Neck- As a fan of the gray shingle with white trim look I dig the simple design.  Can’t really figure out what the over hang is for though.  Kudos to the builder as the construction seems to be top notch.
