Mani (A New Life Wandering)16 Comments on Doors Around The World

Doors Around The World

Pick your toilet style. India.

Doors are a cool subject to photograph around the world. I don’t make it a point to do so, but I found a few that I took across my travels. The photo above is one of my favorite pictures. I like it’s simplicity but it tells a story, a story of culture, and I love the colors too.

Doors can tell a lot about the place that they lead to or they can be complete mysterious. Doors are often used metaphorically in writing and in speech to get through life.

      That church is quite impressive on the inside as well. Very old, built in the 1700s.

    🙂 Some interesting doors you’ve put together! The submarine’s door is kind of frightening – closes very tight…and if not…
    I have added doors of a vintage car to the wpc’s page.
    HAPPY weekend! 🙂
