If It's Wednesday, It Must be Doors

Cheating just a bit here. As I've not been in the city much, I'm showing you door photos from Rome, Italy that I've taken in April. Equally beautiful - don't you agree?

If It's Wednesday...it must be doors

There is little that needs to be commented - you either like it or you don't. Somehow I find the "Wedneday Doors" still appealing. If you are getting bored, do let me know and we'll find another topic for Wednesdays.

If It's Wednesday...it must be doors

These are the side doors of a smaller and much less prominent synagogue in the bowels of the seventh district.



Very plain, yet very commanding in their symmetry. I thought it was an outstanding sample for our door series.

If It's Wednesday...it must be doors

Rather than the wooden doors we've seen before, here is an equally beautiful wrought iron doorway. The craftsmanship is still there and the sheer size is overwhelming.

The walls are scarred by graffiti and age, the door had a box attached to it in which advertisements can be dropped into rather than in mailboxes inside. Most doors are now locked and one enters by key or electric code. This door has a panel on the left (see red lettering)

What is there to do? Aim, shoot, enjoy :) It is Wednesday already - we can do this!

If It's Wednesday...it must be doors

Last Wednesday I've promised you doors once a week. It is hard to beat the doorway you've seen first, so let's follow with a famous door. These are the center front doors of the opera.And THIS! is the ceiling of the drive up portico right before these doors. Simply magnificent.
Enjoy your day and thank you for coming by to visit.

Gloomy Sunday

We were promised the beginning of a cold front today and the battle is apparent on the sky. One one side the sun is trying to triumph but the rest of the sky is gray.

There are so many beautiful details in this city that one never runs out of finding yet another morsel. They simply don't make them like this anymore.
Doors such as this are virtually everywhere on the large downtown blocks. Small visual gifts for the eyes of the beholder.

See what I mean - here is another example. Simply beautiful in the middle of downtown.
