Scenes from Savannah Part II

Savannah, Georgia is one of the most charming cities I have visited with its grand entrances.

I will be adding a visit to the Telfair Museum next time. Multiple statues out front signify greats like Michelangelo, Raphael, Rembrandt and more.

There is beautiful architecture all around.

Banks always seem to have some of the most gorgeous facades.

Upcycled cannons become a piece of art outside The Savannah College of Art and Design.

Stunning trees add to the beauty.

This magnificent home below was boarded up when we were there. I am hoping it has new life next time we visit.

Some homes are ridiculously majestic.

Many little girls have probably dreamed of living in this pink charmer.

The touristy riverfront section is growing as renovations have been underway and much completed of more old buildings.

I'm not sure what is going on in the photo below but I love it! Air plants along with ivy maybe, growing on the side of an old building? Not sure what the pink fabric is all about.
A beautiful job was done below to maintain the look of the old.
 

There is a splash pad for the kids in the "newer" section.

  This section has a very different vibe from the old section.

To the left below is an outside, stand alone bar along the Savannah River. A really cool set up!

Hopefully we will make it back here next spring so Savannah becomes an annual trip!

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val

Patios and Porches of Savannah

 Strolling the streets of the historic downtown of Savannah, Georgia is a treat.

The solid fence in the background below actually has a cutout design. Something I have never seen before in a fence. There is a small doorway awning beyond that with the same design. Just fabulous!
The variety of porches and patios is charming.

The majority are behind cast iron gates adding to their character.

An occasional surprise can pop up like this lovely double doorway.

Sometimes the entry way doubles as a patio.

All these beauties bring up fantasies of living here.



Residents really know how to maximize their outdoor space in Savannah!

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val

Doorways of Savannah

Historic downtown Savannah, Georgia is filled with charming homes.

So many inviting entryways, even when there is a gate.

There is no shortage of iron work in this town.

Vibrant doors are everywhere!
Yellow is the most inviting portal tone to me with its warmth. Seeing a double sunny door was a treat! Minimal, yet so appealing.
Ivy and other climbers are common to spot.

Some entries just need simple planters to be inviting.

Black manages to be welcoming too.

This is a unique iron design creating a glass awning over the entry. Brilliant!

I hope you enjoyed this glimpse of the doorways of Savannah.

Have a marvelous day/evening (wherever you are on the clock)! ~Val
