ST. MICHAELS, Md., Dec. 7, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Thelma Nichols Geary, Cheryl Geary Schultz, Kimberly Lynn Schultz, and Patricia Munson Duncan collaborate to celebrate the beauty of each season and the melancholy of death. In Gates of Greenwich, a book released through Xlibris, they share a unique anthology that presents and tells the stories of different spectacular gates that marches the beauty that is Greenwich, Connecticut.
Through over one hundred fifty riveting photographs, Gates of Greenwich presents the different frameworks of gates that can be marveled at Greenwich. A trip around the captivating town conceived the idea of this book. Peppered with short poems telling the fascinating tales behind the pictures, it paints a vivid illustration of the often-disregarded art of such structure. It reveals the different appearances of gates throughout the seasons, and at the facade of lonely yet arty cemeteries. From cozy looking wooden gates to rigid brick-made ones, from regal iron-made entrances to nostalgic gateways, this collection provides readers a divine, wistful, and heart-tugging feel of home.
A cooperative effort of three generations of the same family and one resident of Greenwich, Gates of Greenwich is bound to entertain and enthrall readers of all ages. For more information on this book, log on to www.Xlibris.com.
