And these really are the last shots of doors in Confolens that I have.

Finally, a rather different perspective. At what point did they finally realise that there was nobody home?

Thursday Doors 1 March 2018

Just as I was getting worried that my supply of doors was nearing exhaustion (and then what will I do on Thursdays?), I came across some overlooked doors from – you guessed it – Confolens. Enough for this week and next, by when I hope to have topped up my supplies from other locations.

Not that there’s anything wrong with the bottom of this particular barrel, all of which were taken at the town’s highest point, within the medieval fortifications, from where you can look over the whole metropolis.

QED:

The next two examples are set into the old walls:

While this is in a restored building just inside the main gate:

Finally, a couple of splendidly tatty doors of considerable age:

The third and final set of doors from the left bank of the nearby town of Confolens.

This week, more doors from the other side of the river in Confolens.

Whatever function this building had originally, I believe it is now  an office:

Brown seems to be the predominant colour this week:

This old shopfront is my favourite from this week’s selection. Unfortunately, there were cars parked right in front of it, so I couldn’t get a head-on view, but it certainly has bags of character:

This one looks like it was squeezed in as an afterthought:

And finally, something a little more colourful:

More doors from my second bite at the door-seekers’ cherry that is the town of Confolens.

To begin with, here are a couple of doors that have clearly been restored at some point in the not too distant past:

And, by way of contrast, this is what can happen when nobody cares:

I liked the symmetry of this particular offering:

Sometimes even relatively modern doors can display an austere kind of dignity:

Finally, just for a change, a residential door, again with the attractive symmetry:

Next week, as it’s the last Thursday Doors before a break for ‘les Fêtes’, I thought I might do a post of my ‘Doors Of The Year’.

When class resumes in January we’ll be back in Confolens (there really are a lot of interesting doors in Confolens), but for the first time venturing across the bridge to the other side of the river that divides the town.
