Thursday Doors: Rancon – Ancient & Modern
The village of Rancon, about a thirty minute drive from here at Tranquility Base, is in all honesty pretty unremarkable, although it does hold a medieval fête in June every year which is worth a quick look.
But, to be fair, it does have a few interesting doors, both ancient and modern:
including this particularly decrepit example;
while this neglected door is somewhere on the cusp between old and new:
Rancon’s modern doors are in rather better condition, such as this interesting and quite unusual (certainly for around these parts) offering:
One thing that isn’t unusual around here is the closed-down shop. I was particularly struck by this composition in pastels:

Unremarkable at first glance maybe, but you found some lovely details in these photos.
Thank you. That’s the very joy of photography n’est ce pas?
Nice collection. That 2nd one is my favourite; the weathered wood, that stone wall…gorgeous 🙂
Thanks. Yeah, that one’s a real keeper.
Great collection of doors. I really like that ironwork on the fourth one down and the arched windows.
Quite a variety, running the gamut from scabrous to doors with character. 🙂

‘Scabrous’: now there’s a grand word – and pretty characterful itself too.
really interesting patina – and the ending two doors had a nice feel – side by side gates in different hues….
Nice contrasts presented here. I like the photos of the old rotted doors and I like that blue gate.
Great collection to share. Good job!
