Friends




I was inspired by Nichole at little brown pen who always has beautiful photographs of streets, shops and "everyday" things, first from Paris and now from Pennsylvania, posted on her blog. I decided to take a lesson from her... that beauty is in the eye of the beholder....and that if you look for it, you will find it. Granted, I am not the photographer Nicole is and I may have to look a bit harder in parts of NYC than she did in Paris...but it's true, you can find beauty anywhere if you're looking for it.
For example:
The Friends Meeting House, off Stuyvesant Square Park, is a beautiful red brick building built in 1860 by the Hicksites, a group of Quakers who separated from the main congregation to pursue more traditional forms of worship.
