Something happens when two people look at each other, and they have a cellular connection. It’s like when their hearts connect as well as their souls.~Costa Ronin
Tina’s theme this week challenges us to find “double” subjects. All right, Tina. Here goes.
My first shot was taken during Open House Chicago, a great autumn tradition, when hundreds of buildings are open to the public throughout the city. Some of them, like the women’s waiting room at Union Station, have not been open to the public for decades. This shot, taken at Goodman Theater, was a dress rehearsal for that night’s performance. Being graced at birth with two left feet, I always admire people who can move with fluidity and passion, like this couple.

You don’t build walls; you build bridges between people. ~Andrew Cuomo
Some of you may recognize this view of the two bridges from our former apartment in Grand Rapids, Michigan. The wider bridge on the left is open to traffic; the one on the right is pedestrian only. The views of the sky and river were spectacular at sunset–as you can see.

Architecture begins when you place two bricks carefully together.~Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
This capture of two doorways brings back great memories of Lisbon, Portugal. The guard is on duty at the GNR General Command site.

If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?”~Abraham Lincoln
Etruscan Amphoras, Fiesole, Italy
You can’t measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.~Milan Kundera
I spotted this couple in the Museum of Fine Art in Boston and loved their style–her tee shirt and matching socks and his slouch hat. I wondered if they were also artists.

Terrific choices as always Patti. The two bridges are stunning as is the outfit on the woman in your final shot LOL. I laughed out loud at the Abraham Lincoln quote – priceless!!
Thank you so much, Tina. I’m delighted you like these. The couple shot was a very happy coincidence. I love when that happens!
Beautiful selections for this theme, Patti! The Dancers’ Rehearsal is graceful, the last one is a cool capture. Thank you for sharing these quotes. 🙂
You are very welcome, Amy. I’m very happy you enjoyed them. I loved those 2 couples. They were both so much fun for totally different reasons!
Michigan skyline is spectacular! And the Lisbon guard … my eye keeps coming back to his glorious moustache. Do you think its part of the uniform?! 😉
Hi, Sandy. LOL. I like that…the required governmental mustache as part of the uniform!! Thank you so much for stopping by and commenting on this one!
Good to know about the wine-making! I think this is the only reasons why Romans didn’t kill them all off immediately. 😀 Lovely intimate photos.
Hi, Manja. Your comment about the wine makes me smile…well, maybe it’s truer than we think!! I’m so glad you like these shots.
Wow, a world spread gallery …. love it. I agree with Tina, about the quote. The two bridges image … very cleverly captured. Excellent post.
Hi, Viveka. Thank you! I’m collecting shots wherever we go! The bridges were a “fixture” out my window for the years we lived there. We were so high up that I felt like we were in a plane coming in for a landing!
Patti, so do I … put the camera on nearly everything and a couple of time too on the same object. What a fantastic view you had … and I understand what you mean about coming in for landing. Brilliant shot.
Beautiful captures Patti, I especially love your images of the dancers rehearsing and the cool couple at the Boston museum 🤗💖 xxx
Thank you, Xenia! I’m so glad you like these very cool couples. I admired both of them for very different reasons! Style and talent!
Well chosen gallery, Patti. Love that Michigan image of the bridges, and the serenity of the two last shots. Also applaud the starter and the finisher for knitting the post together nicely!.
Lovely photos. My eyes snagged on the couple in the gallery.
I think we all feel a little wistful over the couple in the gallery. Youth recaptured, or some such thing 🙂 🙂 Feeling blessed to be part of a couple… at least for today 🙂
I LOVE LOVE LOVE the couple in the museum. They are art in motion to me!!
Beautiful pictures. I love the Abe Lincoln quote as well.
Your last couple do look like artists!
Don’t they? I’m glad you agree, MM!
Lovely selections Patti. I adore the skyline shot — and as another with two left feet — really like the dancers too.
Thank you so much, Su. I admire those dancers so much! That view is spectacular, isn’t it?
Great set of doubles, Patti!
Thank you so much, Sue.
😊
a challenging challenge but so aptly presented specially the image in the Art Gallery.
Thank you so much, Anjum!!
Great photos for the theme!!
Thank you so much, Nora!!
Double doorways and double CCTV cameras! 😀
The museum shot is superb!
I love that, Raj. Double CCTVs! Great catch! I always appreciate your thoughts.
Patti, enjoyed your selections.
Thank you so much, Sally! I’m delighted.
I love the photos you chose for the prompt. I’m thankful for wine too ;-)! I especially enjoyed your Chicago photos – my youngest lived there while she went to the Art Institute for her BFA. I concur with you – those two in the last photo were likely artists, at least I saw many creative outfits like that when we’d visit my daughter at school events.
Beautiful twos! I especially like the first photo and the photo of the bridges in Grand Rapids. Great post!
Thank you very much for your kind words, SV.
Loved the photo of the duo at the museum. Definitely a lifestyle statement with their clothes and the camera on his shoulder. 🙂
So cool, aren’t they??
Hi Patti. For some strange reason, my link for Monochrome isn’t posting. I tried yesterday and again today. Could you go to my site and bring it to your post. Thanks. Olga
It takes a brave person (somebody with Moed) to acknowledge the abnormal amount of left feet in their possession!
Lovely captures and the couple in the last photo are certainly not old hat.
Thank you so much, Abrie!! Facts are facts when it comes to having 2 left feet!! No courage needed.
Good
I enjoyed the wide variety of images you chose! And those great quotes too. The colors in the bridges photo really pop 🙂
Thank you so much, OLU! I appreciate your kind words.
You’re welcome!
Great photographs selected for the challenge, Patti. I’m with Tina the outfit on the woman in the last photo
is quite fashionable. I like the way you captured them. I’m not sure how you did it. I’m always hesitant to photograph people
if I don’t know them. 5 stars for a unique pic.
Isadora 😎
Thank you, Isadora! I am thrilled you like them. The couple in the museum was a happy moment/capture.
I love that photo of Grand Rapids!
We loved it too. It was a beautiful. peaceful view–no matter the time of day.
