The gift that keeps on giving – another selection of doors from the recently discovered cache of photographs I took in the town of Perigueux last year.

It seems to be a quite popular thing to have doors made of asymmetric lengths of wood, which must be an OCD nightmare:

Those two have obviously recently had a fresh coat of varnish, which you couldn’t say for this:

Two contrasting doors side by side:

I admit, this shot is more about the autumnal colours (it was taken last October) than the door, but there’s definitely one in there:

However, this is my favourite from this week’s gallery:

Another selection from the lost treasures of my library of images from the medieval town of Perigueux.

To begin, an elaborately-framed arched example:

Another arched door, juxtaposed with a more conventional one:

This one seems to be trying to hide in a corner:

And a few more:

Finally, as something of a contrast, this more modern door with art deco ironwork:

Just when I thought I was running out of doors to post….I went back to my library and unearthed a good few doors from the town of Perigueuex that will keep us diverted for the next few weeks.

To begin with, some doors that used to be doors:

Some real doors, but showing their age:

Old, but in rather better condition:

And finally, for this week, a juxtaposition of old and new:

Another selection of old doors from the town of Perigueux. Mostly brown, of course, but not this first – comparatively unusual – specimen:

But normal service is soon resumed, with these satisfyingly tatty specimens:

Most old doors aren’t completely straight or rectangulat, but this one takes it a bit far:

And finally double bonus points for two doors within doors:

Continuing with the second tranche of the doors of Perigueux, here are some more old brown ones:

…of which this is a shockingly neglected example, albeit with a rather grand surround:

But why settle for one door when you can have two:

Some doors are better preserved than others, of course:

…and some aren’t even brown:

More from Perigueux next week, then it’s time for another little mini-break.

After the last few weeks’ diversions, we’re back to the town of Perigueuex in the Dordogne for another selection of doors from its medieval centre.

To begin with, two doors for the price of one, with a nice juxtaposition of old and new:

And here are a couple more doors with some colour to them:

But it remains the case that most doors are just plain brown – even this comparatively modern one:

As well as these older examples:
