Thursday Doors, 27/9/18: Norm’s Doors 3

“Life’s too short for boring doors” could be the official slogan of our jolly little group. Let’s have more of the other kind.

Small wonder that it was Norm, our chief, who wrote this in a comment to one of my Thursday Doors post on my second blog. I had quite a bit of fun looking back in search of Norm’s favourite doors on the occasion of his arrival. Under a post full of doors from Pitigliano he wrote:

Just gorgeous, every single one. I have to visit this place.

Noted, chief! Under the post with doors from Orvieto and its cathedral, in which I probably complained of the heat, he stated:

Overall it looks like I have another place to add to my Italian bucket list, but I’ll make sure to go in September and not June or July.

To which I agreed and suggested late September. And now as he is practically on my door step and I’ll pick him up exactly in Orvieto of all places, I’ve just finished painting the (small outside cabinet) door red in his honour. (But it really had to be done.)

So you see, be careful what you wrote in comments because you never know when it comes true. Here’s to bloggers’ meetings!

This concludes the trio of Thursday Doors posts for Norm. (Two previous ones are here and here.) Now I’m ready to take new door shots and make new memories. Welcome!

As for you, when you are finished here, head to Joey’s because she is hosting Thursday Doors this week, and leave a door or twenty with her. After all, she woke up at 5.30 for it. 😉 Thank you! (ADD-IT: She didn’t! She admits in her post that she is still sleeping! Good call, Joey!)

Let’s start in Siena where Norm was yet on his previous visit to Italy. He said that the door on the right looked familiar.

Another imposing Siena door. No wonder I call her Door Queen.

Exiting the Siena Cathedral.

Unlike Siena, the Orvieto Cathedral does not allow indoor photography. A reflection it is then. (And it’s Liz in another bloggers’ meet-up!)

A lucky find at the Talamone cemetery.

This Introvert Society Headquarters door in Talamone cheered up Norm.

As did this socialising door in Orbetello.

Montemerano near Terme Saturnia is one of the Borgi piu’ belli, the official list of the most beautiful small towns of Italy. Must be for this door too.

One of Pitigliano doors, but it’s really the totality of this amazing town that draws gasps.

A door scene from Civita di Bagnoregio.

I had a peek through a tiny slit in a fence in Tuscania, and what do I see?

Castagneto Carducci came door-recommended by amore’s coworker. I love it how everybody I know are on the lookout for doors. For example, Mom just came from a trip to Apulia and had much door-spotting fun with her friends.

There is a door in there, I swear! Also in Castagneto Carducci.

Let’s move to Rome now, where doors can come with oranges.

Roman pyramid door. For real. Yes, they’ve got a pyramid too.

Roman nighttime door.

Roman street art. The old woman of Trastevere, by Neve.

Roman not really street art. Bicycle shop in Monteverde. Norm felt drawn to it.

You can’t go wrong with the flag.

Whereas these are the colours from around here as Norm is about to find out. (More windows than doors and not my house. I wish!)
