For the love of doors

avatar
(Edited)

I needed something to write about, just to test out the new Ecency web editor and from time to time, it's fun to go through some archive photos and share a few. So I decided that I would scan through my gallery of images for doors. Why? Well it would seem that us photographers have a thing about doors!

Maybe it's the mystery, where does it go? Quite often nowhere, they're mostly locked!

A classic church side door

Churches are a good source for door hunters/admirers, you will never be disappointed with these ancient specimen.

Hinges used to be much more exciting before B&Q

There are some very elaborate doors like this one with some impressive hinges to boot.

Not quite sure anyone has entered this building since 1984

Goring is a lovely village on the banks of the River Thames and one of our favourite places for a walkabout. There are some nice places to eat there, a cafe that does a variety of different hot chocolates and of course the Thames path that passes via this old Mill House.

Some others taken over the years

Neale Yard, London - near Borough Market

Another church, think this was Bishops Waltham, Hampshire

Bucklers Hard, near Beaulieu - a lovely place it is too

Lagos, Portugal - I might do a separate project on tiles, for which this country is famed

Old derelict farm building just a short walk from home

The Bodleian LIbrary, Oxford

A church, somewhere in deepest Hampshire - Crondall I think

Osborne House, Isle of Wight

Not sure where!

London, East End

London, Spitalfields area

Inside the control Tower at Greenham Common

Think this was Oxford, should improve my note taking skills!

The wonderful Salisbury Cathedral

Doors: thresholds to other universes, spaces or unknown places! Doors open and close and some, once opened, can never be closed. Excellent images. Greetings, @nicklewis

That's quite a selection. Some of those were really built to last. So much stuff these days seems so flimsy.

That one, from the East End at London... it give me some chills. Epic one, lad! 🫶🏽

The old shop? Yes that was discovered when they stripped away its modern signage to reveal the original front. Nowadays it’s surrounded by modern buildings. It’s quite haunting in a way.

Now is a old shop. What I've found interesting about the East End is the story behind Jack the Ripper. That's why I find it impressive

That’s funny you mention that, a lot of the tour guides refuse to cover Jack the Ripper apparently. Maybe because it’s the most famous/infamous topic of the area, so they tend to look for other stories in order to offer something different.

But with that said - who was Jack the Ripper? Many think he was a member of the Royal family.
