What is it about doors and windows around the world?? Somehow they provide such gorgeous glimpses into other cultures and are in themselves such a rich source for photography of the picturesque at its most photogenic and evocative....
These first three collages were all shot in the charming colonial town of San Miguel de Allende here in Mexico. I just love the saloon swing doors of the cantina bars, the purple and red doors of the bullring, and the colonial windows with their wrought iron balconies all in rich hues of ochre, terracotta, russet, and dusky pink....
Next we move to Croatia where the stone takes on such a different texture and tone, with the doors and wooden shutters all predominantly in shades of green, blue and white with just a hint of pale pink thrown in...
Is it just me or are all of these doors and windows works of art in their own right??

A year or so ago, there was a blog that featured only doors and she solicits contributions from bloggers all over the globe. She/He features these doors on her/his blog and I miss that blog a lot.
Yours is pretty amazing. The colors are spectacular.
What a wonderful subject. This post is really cool and the pictures are great. When I started taking pictures I started to pay more attention to everything especially doors, window and lamp posts.
Wonderful photos! I love doors and windows -- especially older ones ... the work entailed, the way they are painted. A real treat. Well done!
Wow! that is aamazing collection.
Great collections of doors! like the colors.

Great photos. It is amazing how each different type of door or window represents a personality and culture. Love the saloon doors, and all the colors.
The wrought iron reminds me of the New Orleans French Quarter.
