DOORS


DSCN0906, originally uploaded by schmidwix2.

A mysterious man walks past equally mysterious doors in Essouira.
For some reason - lots of reasons - people are intrigued by doors.
I certainly am.
An idea:
next Wednesday 12th perhaps it would be fun if lots of us posted pictures, paintings, drawings, poems etc about doors
and we could all visit one another..........

I just saw this on Constance's blog and thought I would love to join in! I live in Charleston, SC USA and we have lots of gorgeous doors!

I am so intrigued by doors and windows. I will work on a door painting and see what I come up with. Sounds like a fun way to see other people's work.

Elizabeth said...

My organizational skills are weaker than my ability to think up ideas.
However, I hope to post the names of all the people who have expressed an interest in the "DOORS" idea.
I will almost certainly do this on Tuesday.
So far there are at least 20!
If it gets much bigger I might just have to let it grow on its own.
But I'm happy there is so much interest.

Count me in! I also love doors and find them fascinating to photograph and wonder about.

I would love to be part of the "door" connection! What absolute fun! I'll work on a poem right now and hopefully remember to link at the right time from here in OZ!

Love this web space!

I'll see if I can find a door starting with H tomorrow as I should participate in the ABC Wednesday too.

(I came here through Mari's site, Kameravene.)

Marrakech is a lovely place.
