Old doors are marvelous. I love these.
Wonderful post. Ohh that first one….so many layers to the arch – I love it!
What an entrance! Such a beautiful arch surrounding a fabulous old door.
Oh, I love stone buildings and the doors are wonderful.

Wow, great pics of doors and arches.

Thank you. We’ve got those too…
