More Doors of the World

I was so intrigued by the Doors of the World post, that I wanted to share a few other photos I've taken over the years.

Here is that Oxford door I first thought of using.

Here is a door in Nice, France.

Here are several doors in Lucca, Italy.

Bicycles seem to be the preferred mode of transportation in the walled portion of Lucca.

Here is a grand door in the tiny village of Civita de Bagnoreggio, Italy.

And another door to a mysterious garden in Civita.

And this last door is also in Civita.

Doors of the World

Freight Door at Abandoned Train Station




I'm taking part in Frank's Doors of the World. At first I dug around in my old travel photos and found a great door in Oxford, England. I even adjusted the exposure and cropped and sized it, but then I got to thinking and realized it should be a door from my home town. So yesterday whilst driving to an appointment, I stopped by the old Western Pacific train station. My town is a hub of sorts; all manor of shipping was done here and is still done here. Western Pacific has been a part of our history since 1903. Just imagine the interesting things that have passed through this now abandoned portal.


You can see more doors I've already posted here, here, and here.
