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 …

Thursday Doors, 13/12/18: Capalbio 2

Capalbio is the town on the hill in Maremma closest to me and these are some of its doors. I often bring visitors here because it’s a charming old town, so it’s small wonder that during our a bit more than just a bloggers’ meeting …

Thursday Doors, 6/12/18: Morocco 2

My travelling uncles strikes again. This is the third Thursday Doors post with his Morocco door photos, with special thanks since I’ve never been.  I don’t have him here to explain things so I won’t include any facts and locations. Suffice to say, it’s Morocco, …

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 …

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 …

Thursday Doors, 15/11/18: Koper 1

Today the memory of an August afternoon spent in Koper, the fifth largest Slovenian city. By the look of it, it could also lie far away, in Argentina, maybe, or Honduras, or at least Italy. This biggest Slovenian port is located just below Trieste and …

Thursday Doors, 8/11/18: San Galgano Abbey – Double Bill

This is a joint post, which means that you can experience this visit out of another pair of eyes. We certainly didn’t come to San Galgano Abbey for the doors but we left with some, as one does.  You might have heard it already: a bit …

Thursday Doors, 1/11/18: Mekinje & Kamnik

Today’s entry takes us to the August day on which injections and doors were shot to ease the pain. And since it’s November 1st, there must be a cemetery too. When I was in Slovenia for the summer, mother and I drove for half an …

Thursday Doors, 25/10/18: Škofja Loka I.

Here is a good idea if you plan to go to Slovenia: a medieval, well-preserved, picturesque town called Škofja Loka with a 150-year-old coffee and cake house, among other things. It goes without saying that they’ve got doors too. On this August day, the last …

Thursday Doors, 18/10/18: Nova vas

Today I present the first half of possibly all the doors of the village Nova vas in Slovenian Istria where we went for the garlic. Okay, and wine. The Garlic and Wine Festival is the annual event over one summer weekend when locals offer their …

Thursday Doors, 11/10/18: Apulia and Basilicata

The witches of Apulia go door hunting.  My mother has three friends who like to call themselves witches and like to go on tours. They are all around 70 and when my mom was 70, these friends gifted her a basket of tangerines and a …

Thursday Doors, 4/10/18: Normies in Maremma

I’m not sure who invented the word doorfie for a selfie in a door reflection, but today I’ve got an even newer word: Normie.  That is, Norm in a door-shell. He has survived the attack of Tuscan doors and greets you all. There were some …

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 …

Thursday Doors, 20/9/18: More Norm’s doors

Welcome, all the good regular and irregular door people, and see the doors that most pleased our top door expert over the years. And #8!!!!! That’s it, I’m getting on a plane NOW and heading straight there. I’m going to knock on that door and …

Thursday Doors, 13/9/18: Norm mix I.

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 …

Thursday Doors, 6/9/18: Ljubljana Savc

Another Thursday Doors edition that is more about the experience than doors themselves. It takes place in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, where everybody comes lately. Savc is the term of endearment for Savsko naselje where certain rappers stem from, including my mother. Here are …

Thursday Doors, 30/8/18: Lokev & Co.

A bunch of almost forgotten one-year-old door photos plead to be seen by you all, so I said yes. As I was going through my August 2017 folders for yesterday’s colourful Lens-Artists photo challenge, I found a multitude of doors that haven’t yet seen the light …

Thursday Doors, 23/8/18: Trieste

The end of the world, the ocean, the countries, the history. Or the beginning, you be the judge. Doors don’t mind, they lead into both directions. Trieste in Italy next to Slovenia at the end of the Adriatic Sea is a rather peculiar destination. Some …

Thursday Doors, 16/8/18: Velenje

This is the day for which I owe an apology for my severe lack of preparedness to amore, my two patient friends and almost all the kind people of Velenje who helped me search for a wrongly memorised address. Still, all’s well that ends well, …

Thursday Doors, 9/8/18: Ljubljana Moste

I have no time at all but I’m not letting a Thursday slip by doorless. I have manymanymanymany doors and occasions to share, slowly but surely. I’m still in Slovenia and these two weeks have been slow on my blog because amore is visiting and …
