As one of America’s oldest cities, Philadelphia is a repository of doors. The problem isn’t finding attractive doors, but in walking anywhere in a decent amount of time because of all the doors there are to photograph along the way. However, these three doors aren’t the usual doors of row houses or stately buildings. These doors are strictly “now.” And they’re very power-full.
The door here is on the other side, but I thought you’d forgive me for that.


This door’s a bit fishy. Pretty sure you’ll enjoy it, though.

What wonderful doors!
Thanks, Sheree. I love finding these in so many places now.

Me too Janet
I like this, great way to hide the power box
Agreed, I like how these are popping up in cities across the country.
I do, too. They so much more fun than plain boxes. Thanks for coming by and commenting.
janet
Fantastic
I so agree.

These are beautifully done Janet. Such a cool idea to use the boxes as canvases for public art.
It’s a great idea and I’d love to see it on every box. π
That would be wonderful, both for the commissioned artists, and the community.
Don’t ever lose your sense of humor. These are great. π
I sometimes struggle keeping it at work, but on the whole, I’m keeping it all the time. π Thanks very much, Judy.

How fun! I love them all. Someone is very clever to have come up with this idea.
I love them, too, and they’re so much fun to see. Art in the streets. π

Urban public art thrills.
I love that so many places are doing this, Sally. SO much more interesting than just brown/green boxes!
How wonderful are these!!! Cher xo
Thanks very much, Cher. π Glad you like them. I love this trend.

Love the artwork, Janet. The first one is my favourite. So colourful.
Hi, Jean. These are certainly great, aren’t they? So glad you like them.
I love these! A lot of utility boxes where I live are also painted with colorful artwork. Why be boring?
I agree! And this is such a good way to present a cheerful appearance.

Beautifully painted power box β€οΈππππ
Theyβre great, arenβt they? π
janet
Yes they are. Very aesthetic way to hide such an ugly powerbox haha
That is so creative! How clever. π
I’m seeing more and more of these and I love it. π
janet
Wow. Those are beautiful and interesting. I love the colors.
I’m loving this trend in so many different places.
I love these. I’m seeing this trend to decorate utility boxes all over and all I can think is: why didn’t someone think of this sooner? It’s a wonderful idea!
Fantastic doors, Janet. So much vibrancy and life in these paintings.
As I’ve said in response to other comments, I’m loving this trend and hope it keeps going for a very long time. π
Fabulous doors! Magnificent doors! Oh that one of them was mine. Cheers Virginia
I wish they were near me as well!
