Tuesday Photo Challenge: Steep

A characteristic of the many notable medieval buildings in the Dordogne town of Sarlat is their very steep roofs. In this image of one of the churches, this steepness is exaggerated by the camera angle that’s necessary to capture the entire edifice.
Monday Window: Derelict house, Cahors
Posted on November 4, 2019
This derelict building in the medieval centre of the town of Cahors, in southern France, still has stained glass in its upper part, which gives some indication of how grand it must once have been. #MondayWindow.

Thursday Doors: Chabanais
Posted on October 24, 2019
After concentrating on the old railway station last week, this time we have a series of photos all taken on the same street in Chabanais.
What struck me most about this first image was the geometric form of the view through the doorway on the left.
Adjacent to that pair is this green example:
The common theme of the remaining images is that they all feature not only doors but also gates and railings. There is quite a broad spectrum of states of repair.
