Doors

I went to lunch with Bonne and Linda today and as I was getting out of Linda's car, I spotted two doors. I mentioned that I wanted to take pictures of them. After lunch I did just that. I don't know why, but I love taking photos of doors (windows too, if we are going to be picky). Today, I started wondering why? I mean ... doors?!

I started thinking of all the symbolism that goes along with doors and it probably has something to do with that. A door is an entrance to a new adventure. A door takes you from one place to another. A door can shut out all the uglies (at least for a while). A door can close off all the noise of the world. A door is the entrance to unlimited possibilities .... I would go on, but you get the gist.




And, pretty much, I just like the look of cool doors!



I noticed something today, though. Europe kicks butt when it comes to doors. I liked the doors I took photos of today:

  1. Doors offer security, and if you're Bilbo Baggins the opening of a door can lead to unimaginable adventurers. I love the pictures of the doors, I have a friend who is a master wood carver and furniture builder. Your pictures reminded me of some of his work. It's good to see you back.

  2. I think Gary should make all of his siblings (starting with me) a cool entrance door into their house. He has the smarts, he has the tools, and he occasionally has the time! Whaddya think?

  3. No, you get all the opportunities to take pictures. You also get all the other furniture he makes.
