I’m enjoying participating in the weekly Thursday Doors challenge created by Dan Antion for those who love entrances, exits and the buildings and art that surrounds them. The wonderful contributions from everywhere will delight. Share your own link in the comments on Dan’s weekly Door’s page.
These were shot around the town of Ellicott City Maryland. The same place last week’s images were taken but from a different year.
Looks like a house built with a prank door.

I know there is a door around here somewhere!
If that door had teeth, it would bite you. Photo by Mike Hartley
This establishment moved up the street a few years ago and is still thriving in a larger spot.
Maybe the trains that would pass right next to them got to be too much. Photo by Mike Hartley

This is a sad one. Closed after 50 years of fine dining in December. Tersiguel’s

With a lifetime and a half in the Newspaper industry I'm preparing for my retirement career as an Artist, Writer, Photographer and Video content provider. I'm a proud father of two wonderful children and I'm still married to the first girl I fell in love with and probably only one that would have me.
Wonderful details and great sunshine captured in all your photos, Mike. I love the flower boxes in the restaurant and the cafe photos. The cafe Gg is fabulous; I love the flags and, of course, the signboard showing lattes on offer. Love the hat shop. Great share.

These are great doors, Mike. My favorite is the Welcome Center. I like all your photos, and the caption on the first one is terrific.

I love the bright photos of life. My favorite, though, is the prank door. Hmm! 🙂

Thank you, Brenda. Sorry for the late reply. I was away a few days.
