Thursday Doors: Montrol-Senard
I suspect I’m not the only one who finds this particular image of a door slightly unsettling. It was taken in Montrol-Sénard, a very pretty village not far from here, which is preserved as a living museum of rural life as it would have been a century ago.
This particular door is at the back of a barn which now houses a collection – which could best be described as ‘eclectic’ – of bric-à-brac and various oddities owned by an obviously somewhat eccentric Dutchman.
I am reliably (translate.google.com) informed that ‘Ooievaar’ means ‘stork’…..No, me neither.
Still, it’s not often you see an illustration of the well-known saying ‘throwing out the baby with the bathwater’.

Correct! A Stork means ‘Ooievaar’! Depending on your native language 🙂
😀
It’s a beautifully done photo of a very odd scene. 🙂 I do like the door.

Nice door. The sentry, although armed (perhaps not legged?), does not appear overly threatening.
Thank you. I guess it must be hard to project an image of either menace or authority when you’re sitting naked in a tin bath. Not that I’ve ever tried, you understand.
I love this photo.
As soon as I glanced at this I thought “creepy”! So you aren’t the only one slightly unsettled 🙂 but a very cool photo nonetheless!
Strange but fascinating! 🙂
A bit odd, but a very nice door and a photo opportunity I wouldn’t have passed up.
Thanks. Yes: just too good to miss.
