Back Door, Bath Abbey

Closed doors in odd, out of the way places are intriguing and oh so mysterious.

Opening Doors, Day 5

I have posted so many photos of doors in England and I'm wondering if people might think I live in England. So today I'm posting a photo taken in the next town north (and a little west) of my town.

Mission San Buenaventura

Ventura, California

California is a new part of the New World. Jesuit priests under the leadership of Father Serra established missions and churches along the West Coast of California during the 18th Century before Spaniards, and later on, Americans, moved into California and displaced the native population. Mission San Bueneventura was established in 1782.

Opening Doors, Day 3

Opening Doors, Day 3

Gates are doors, aren't they? This gate is in the Tower of London, the Water Gate that opens to the Thames River. Looking down at this gate, I imagined the boats arriving from upriver or from the estuary, carrying their human cargo, those who had displeased the king and were condemned to imprisonment and death within the Tower walls. Or maybe this was the gate that opened to let in the tradesmen bringing fresh produce or perhaps venison, chicken or fish to feed the royalty, warriors and workers who lived there.

And today you get a bonus photo! The portcullis, another door that allowed entry in to The Tower of London.

See lots and lots more doors at Jientje's blog Heaven in Belgium.

Opening Doors, Day 1

Happy Wonderer is participating in a photo challenge called Opening Doors.

I decided I would join in because I love doors~ open doors, closed doors, locked doors. Doors symbolize opportunities. They're also fun to photograph!
