When I travel, my camera always seems to fall slave to a growing obsession with doors and I don't blame it - show me any kind of door and my knees go weak!
There are numerous reasons why I love doors so much:
Firstly, doors can hide what lies inside; keeping the heart in suspense. They can add some flavour of the unknown or even create a sense of moving into a new moment.
But ultimately....
Doors (for me anyway) are the gateway to beauty, the beginning of a new space, the opening to a new journey - they are everywhere!
I really love how the afternoon light spills through these glass beauties:
Moroccan doors are just so elaborate in shape and full of presence you simply can’t ignore them:
Here is a pair of wooden Moroccan doors painted in an electrifying Majorelle blue colour - almost starring right back at me. A loud duo - I could almost hear it saying “Hey look at me, I’m over here!”:
I adore the big heavy wooden door and the carved exotic design, both somehow expressing mystery and wonder:
I found this door tucked away while roaming the streets of Ibiza:
So gorgeous, I almost have no words...
It's like an outdoor museum. Each and every door is a new discovery, a new piece of art. Each one is charming in its own little way.
May you find beauty and inspiration from all around you my lovelies!
doors and what lies behind...all the secrets ....all the memories and travels...countless doors tell so many stories.... and some i wish would never change their colors...
ReplyDeleteOI! When were you at suck and chew?!
ReplyDeleteMy fav!!! :) i have grown up with my Mumma stopping to take photos of doors, every where we went - on holiday, on our way to school, on a country walk... she would always say 'oh girls, stop and look at that beautiful door...' I remember being small and then a teenager and thinking she was mad.. and now i do the exact same thing! Just like you Lucie, I have an enormous appreciation for doorways in every shape and form! Thank you Mumma, thank you Lucie :) xxx
