I have a “thing”…and obsession for doors and gates….can you tell?!!
…..I so love Charleston, South Carolina…to swoon over the incredible ironwork of their doors and gates.
When I traveled to France with the “Fab Five”…
I was so excited while driving through the street of Paris…gazing at the glorious ironwork…
…..I think our host/guide/antiquities extraordinaire, Alain, thought I was crazy snapping away…
……….through the window of the “tour mobile”
………………….taking pictures of the incredible ironwork on the buildings.
Today…I am presenting the magnificent doors that I saw in Normandy…
Some were stained….
Some were extremely grand and ornate…and some were simple, yet elegant…
And others beautifully painted….
If I had a some tools and no fear of being arrested….I would have taken this beauty home!
We here in the States have a love affair with old doors…..
…..your heart would have been skipping many beats over these doors of sheer beauty.
O.K…I need a defibrillator on this one!!
You would think this is a hotel…no, it is the Town Hall.
Doors of wonderful brick buildings….
Doors of the beautiful tudor buildings…
Doors of grand stone buildings…
A door of a magnificent French Farmhouse
And doors to welcome me home!!!
When I see an old magnificent door…one that is hundreds and maybe centuries years old…
…..I cannot help but think of all the people who have walked through those doors.
