11 Comments

Time for the weekly Thursday Doors challenge with our host Dan Antion. For those who love entrances, exits and the buildings and art that surrounds them this is the spot for you. The wonderful contributions from everywhere will delight. Share your own link in the comments on Dan’s weekly Door’s page.

I’m very late this week, just a few hours under deadline, after being MIA for a few. Hope to get back on track and be a regular contributor. And timelier.

The next couple days should be good for photographing so I’ll get ahead of next week’s effort.

Shooting doors will allow me to combine a few projects I’m thinking about. We have a number of churches with some interesting architecture and while there I’ll see what I can find with doors.

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.

  1. Wonderful doors, Mike. I like the phone booth and the bit of snark on the sign. I love that house with the porch and the balcony. We stay open late to accommodate everyone.

  2. Random but rather nice

  3. I love the sign on the phone booth. In Hong Kong, they’ve shifted the phone booths to hotspots. You can use free Wifi from the old booths. It’s nice when you’re traveling through. Lovely “homey” house!

  4. These are beauties, but that sign on the phone booth is a classic. For the younger? No way — only the older will appreciate it properly! My grandchildren wouldn’t have the foggiest.

  5. Beautiful gallery, Mike. I love the white house with the Victorian-styled upper stories. The phone booth and its sign…awesome!

  6. I have found myself explaining phone booths a time or two. lol But just at a museum. haha Great share!
