Story telling DOORS....
European architecture provides a wide variety of beautiful 
windows and doors.  The history and stories are not always obvious.
Many doors in England offer a hint of the history or story behind
a given residence.  Guess we'll have to use our imagination to finish the story :)  
Below are just a few that have caught my attention during my travels.

"The First House"
Rye
"The House with Two Front Doors"

"The House Opposite"

"The Little House"

"Tudor House"

  3. This is a good theme Cheryl. Doors make great photo images. Easy to frame, many varieties, and they're everywhere! Doors also have a real symbolism and further meaning (without wanting to get all deep and clever).

    I have taken a fair few doors in my time, and windows. Doors are barriers to a private place. But people give clues to their inner worlds by the kind of door they show to the public.

    I like these very much.... Thanks for sharing.

  4. I love images of doors and these made me smile. I remember a poster in th 80s of 'Dublin Doors'. It was literally shots of different front doors!

  5. Thanks for the feedback. I have always loved doors, windows, and architecture in different locations.
    @ Bill - funny how we look at architecture. You noted doors are barriers to a private place. I never think of them that way. In contrast, I look at them as an opening/entry into a private space. Either way the door does provide clues to the private world behind the door. You've made me think about the doors in a new way - thanks!
