Thursday Doors: Venice
Continuing last week’s theme of decrepit blue doors, this battered-looking specimen is to be found on the island of Burano in the Venetian lagoon.
And here are a couple more from Venice that I’ve used in previous posts:
Thursday Doors: 7th January 2016

Wow! they’ve certainly seen better days, but are still so beautiful in their own way.
Agreed. Which is probably why an old geezer like me finds them so interesting.
Simultaneously sad but beautiful – excellent choices again this week!
Those door are beautiful, but as Norm, said, they make me sad for the neglect. I heard many, many years ago, so it may not apply now, that in Italy, homes are taxed on the outside, which is then often left unimproved, while the inside can be quite spectacular. No time now to try to find out if that’s true, but it would explain a lot.

They’ve definitely seen better days but what great photography!
So have I, but thank you very much.
that first shot is a wow. I love the color and texture. I want to run my hand along those panels.
Thank you. There are many similar doors in and around Venice, and they certainly are very tactile.
Love these old doors
Beautiful! I especially like the color of the one on the bottom right.
Up my alley, these. There are many in Italy and I always fail to see neglect in such, I see times well spent.
You’re absolutely right. A pristine new door really doesn’t have very much to say for itself. Give me something that looks ‘lived in’ every time (although I my be talking my own book here).
