Last week’s door wasn’t very far from here, but today I’m even closer to home: about 30 feet from my back door.
Our house is actually two cottages knocked together (if you want to know a little more, you can read this) and forms one end of a larger bâtiment which includes two barns, one of which belongs to us and one to our neighbour, Albert (whose own house is just in front of ours). Needless to say, this being rural France, our barn is at the far end of the bâtiment, and it’s Albert’s that adjoins our house.
You get used to it.
Anyway, this picture is a detail of the very ancient side door to Albert’s barn. You can get some idea of its age from the grooves that have been worn in the wood from the swinging latch. I’m glad I took this when I did, because he’s only gone and painted it, hasn’t he?

Wonderful detail! I did French doors today as well. Great cameras on the same track, right? 🙂

lovely so earthy. I want to run my hands over it. I am sure it has many stories to tell!
No doubt about that.
Love the texture in that old weathered door.
Nice entry again this week 🙂
You captured the true meaning of character. 🙂
Nothing wrong with being a bit long in the tooth….
Very nice composition in this photo!
Thank you
