Doors – Travels with Ali

~ Lisbon – A Door Lover’s Paradise ~

During my stay in Portugal I saw so many photogenic doors. As a lover of doors Lisbon was a stand out city for this.

My featured photograph certainly caught my eye. I was tempted to go in but was slightly worried they would ask if I needed any help. I wouldn’t have a clue!

This is a challenge hosted by Dan from No Facilities.

door…sometimes you don’t see it
until it smacks you right in the
face

We had a short transit in Jakarta Airport and at first I thought these were murals, until closer inspection I realised they were small doors.

This week for the Lens-Artist Challenge, Tina from Travels and Trifles has asked us to post any photos that have not been posted this year. Just two rules, they must be from this year and not have been posted before. The first rule is easy but the second.. I’m hoping I haven’t posted them, but who knows.

I have been photographing doors every time I see a good one, but have not got round to posting them for Dan on his weekly challenge Dan’s Doors. Sadly the door is closed now but you know what they say:

A big thanks to everyone who hosts challenges, it’s a wonderful way to post photos and words. Best of all though is the interaction between the fantastic bloggers on WordPress. I have made many friendships over the last few years and love chatting with you all.

Enjoying an early champagne with my son’s lovely girlfriend while out shopping yesterday. There was a free pop up Tattinger Champagne bar! Just a donation to the food bank. We weren’t going to pass up a free champagne.

Here’s hoping you all have a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year.
