In 1954, Aldous Huxley wrote “The Doors of Perception.” A dozen years later, Jim Morrison’s band took their name from that book.
Doors offer intriguing ways of seeing things. So does Lynn U. Miller’s camera — which provided last week’s photo challenge. (Click here to see it.)
The view through a door window — of a potted plant — was taken at Town Hall. Andrew Colabella, Susan Schmidt, Susan Lloyd and Stephanie Ehrman were able to recognize that where-have-I-seen-it-before? shot.
Wrong guesses included Earthplace and Greens Farms Elementary School.
Now we open the door to this week’s challenge.

This is the original sign installed when the property was used as a auto repair shop and Texaco gas station. Sunny Daes is currently on the property and the original sign was never removed and destroyed as required by Texaco corporate requirements
Sunny Daes!
