Doors are invitations. They beckon and cajole. Enter. Come in. See what lies within.
Down through the years, my husband and I have been drawn to doors and have photographed or posed with them on our many travels. We never set out to make a portfolio of door pictures. Each photo was merely a spontaneous moment, an invitation that could not be resisted.
With the advent of social media, I’ve noted that we are not alone in our attraction to doors. Splendid doors are universal subject matter for both amateur and professional photographers.
Here is our collection of doors. Have you met any good doors recently?
And finally, here are two doors in the Czech Republic that we have not met in person but would love to visit. The first was embellished by Anna Kasparkova, a 90-year-old Czech grandma who decorated houses in her small village. The second photo is the Sunflower door in Prague.
I love doors all around the world!
And I know you are a world traveler and have probably seen many great ones!
Amazing and delightful. My favorite was that Victorian . . .
whenever I see a door like that . . . and they do exist when one
strolls through a town . . . I try to imagine a woman in a skirt down
to her ankles and her children and other family members in our great-grandparents clothes . . .
I love that image!
