I spent some time in Old Town Alexandria the other afternoon. A few days ago I had noticed that many of the historical homes in this area (some even date back to the Revolutionary War era) had beautifully decorated doors and windows for the holidays. Not with lots of bright lights ... but mostly with pretty wreaths and greenery around the windows and railings. I'll post a few of the shots over the next few days. They're very difficult to "straighten" out because the houses are not straight, the streets are built on hills (going down toward the Potomac River) and the sidewalks and front door steps are usually crooked. BUT, since many of the doors are modern, they are level. So I tried to use the doors to help get the right perspective on the rest of each image. Any thoughts are most welcome!

Hi Lou Ann...I like the series. Very festive for the holidays. I've always wanted to go there...You did a great job despite the non level situation.

 

Happy New Year, dear friend!

Lou Ann - I love this series... nice work all around. Thanks for posting. I leveled the door using the 'measure tool' down one side of the door followed immediately by going to the 'rotate>arbitrary', which should give you the exact rotation the door is out of alignment. Regards.
