Towards Orvieto.
Im-posing in Orvieto.
It was here that I got busted. See the door opening? Torri.
The Abbey of Santa Mustiola, Torri.
Basilica of Saint Paul Outside the Walls, Rome.
When I spotted these even before I went there, I knew what I’d be posting this Thursday. By My Dog Sighs, Trastevere, Rome.
The prettiest police precinct in the world. Rome.
Friends. Saline di Tarquinia.
Socerb Castle, Slovenia. Sorry, father, no grandkids. She was borrowed.
Mom is deep in memories. The house where she grew up. Ljubljana.
Stove doors! Nova vas above Dragonja.
Stylish. Velenje Castle.
A lovely old fountain with some doors. Škofja Loka.
Look at that road! Kamnik.
Slovenian Academy of Sciences and Arts, Ljubljana. But Slovenia gives less and less money for culture!
Bežigrad, Ljubljana.
The beauty of a friend.
Was this view planned to be as perfect or did it get thus by chance? San Galgano Abbey.
Massa Marittima.
The prettiest one for the end. It was open so I sneaked in. Trieste.
This door would be pretty with anybody in it.
But it was Norm of all people. Massa Marittima.

Thursday Doors, 20/12/18: 2018 Recap

Norm says to do a recap of this year doorwise, and so I have. I like recaps. They help you see. It felt good going through my year in doors especially since this blog is about to close. Yes, again. I guess I’m eating up … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 20/12/18: 2018 Recap

This is where we entered but the oldest door comes later.
Stylish. Velenje Castle.
Stylish again!
Ready-made for a movie setting.
Hi, Velenje. Can you see another castle ruin?
Mother-in-law door?
A door for those who don’t like doors (there are some!).
Pretty and well thought out.
Here it is, my door keeper. Amore is unsure whether we can enter to have a peek since it’s a museum. But we could.
500-year-old door. I think. The man at the door told us more, for example that they opened the little door to pour out the boiling oil. (Nahh… improvising.)
Another view.
A performance was getting ready.
Well kept, all of it.
An example of going into the light. Can you see it?
There it is, the best light of the castle. The man followed me, curious what I was looking for there. Probably private premises.
This door is plugged in and ready to speak.
Goodbye, Velenje. You have many similar streets.
Lovely.
I might have sneaked in through the open door to get this shot.
My travelling companions. We practised these poses for 20 minutes. (Nahhh.)
Then we went for some icecream and a stroll around town, but as we were leaving, the castle came into view as if to say goodbye. All good to you, red city, keep your people happy.

Thursday Doors, 29/11/18: Velenje Castle

Today’s doorhopping comes from the castle above Velenje, the city in Slovenia known for its socialist tradition and values. Not a bad legacy. I’m sure not everything is rosy there but the joy of the people at the recent re-election of its mayor that I … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 29/11/18: Velenje Castle

If you pass this door in Piran, Slovenia, you have my permission to draw something. It’s ours.
This is Piran cemetery doors. Do not write on it. It’s pretty.
Now to the united colours of Rome.
A hidden Tiburtina courtyard.
Two Monteverde favourites. I’d love to live behind this one.
Pretty door in good light.
Now over to Ljubljana, Slovenia. It’s full of strong men.
Another National and University Library entrance. I’ve posted the horse-shaped handle yet.
Whereas this is the police station in the centre of Ljubljana. Sister brought here a found phone.
On the way to Rožnik, a popular weekend hangout of Ljubljana natives.
Sis in Ljubljana Botanical Gardens.
The Door of Complaints in Slovenian House Figovec restaurant. No wonder it’s empty. Right: “From juniper to gin.” Bottom: “The hideout of the naughty ones.”
The beauty of a friend.
Žužemberk Castle, one of its many passages.
A fine door of Bolsena.
The first thing I saw at the Mestre bus station near Venice. This is Italy too.
Poetry of another kind in Rome: “Achilles – My heel, which is in love with you, is the most beautiful and strongest part of me.”
Maybe this is what they mean by Multipla: not the most aerodynamic car but it has multiple uses. Rome’s Monteverde.
The last door Norm saw around here. Capalbio Scalo.
Photo by: Norman Frampton, with thanks. In Massa Marittima.

Thursday Doors, 22/11/18: Door soup for Lens-Artists PC

Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else. ― Tom Stoppard, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” (quotation reblogged from One Million Photographs) It was exactly a month ago that I was forced to combine challenges and today I have to again, even though … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 22/11/18: Door soup for Lens-Artists PC

The Volterra door that made Norm display un-Canadian occupying tendencies. Read the post below the gallery.
Another Volterra edition.
This Capalbio door is quite possibly the real deal. It has seen it all and now it will see Norm.
Norm admired the elements of this photo. (Also in Capalbio.)
This door is opposite our vet in Pescia Romana.
A parallel life of my parents in Monticiano.
A surprising door found during the hike in Via Cava near Pitigliano.
The prettiest of Civitella Marittima.
A classic beauty of Caldana.
Orbetello winner.
A house in front of a house in Vetulonia.
This Vetulonia door has a cat compartment and was on sale.
A dark wise door in Porto Santo Stefano.
A happy scene in Porto Ercole.
Norm appreciated the busyness of this image. (Also in Porto Ercole.)
One of the colourful Monteverde shutters in Rome.
The entrance to the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Eur, Rome.
One of the Rome giants. That note is at eye level.
Another Rome sturdy beauty.
A door collection on sale in Siena. Norm said: “You don’t need that poster – you could make your own and it would be even nicer.” Thank you!

Today a special door selection from my first blog, of doors that caught the eye of our Thursday Doorman.  “The day I set foot in Rome and start exploring for doors… well I don’t know if I’ll ever leave the place.” This was the comment … Continue reading Thursday Doors, 13/9/18: Norm mix I.
