You might think, looking at these pictures, that the doors are from some castle in Europe, home of an ancient king. In fact, both can be found in Hearst Castle, California, high above the winding Pacific coast road. That’s not to say the doors couldn’t have started life in a European castle somewhere – HearstContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Hearst Castle, San Simeon, California”

Thursday Doors – St Margaret’s Church, Wolston
This is the doorway to the church of St Margaret, in Wolston, England. It’s a typical Norman-style church doorway – the church was built in 1186 – with a simple wooden door. Yet the colours of the stones, the simple shapes and worn lines, give it beauty, as do the fresh flowers and shrubs inContinue reading “Thursday Doors – St Margaret’s Church, Wolston”
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 24 – Hats
I happen to love hats. I also happen to love vintage clothing and, for a while, had a stall with a friend at an antique market. One of our best purchases was a bulk lot of vintage hats from a woman in Wales – the hats, when they arrived, were all 1930s and 40s vintage,Continue reading “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge: Week 24 – Hats”
Thursday Doors – Camden, London
Here’s my entry to Norm 2.0’s Thursday Doors challenge for this week. There are actually three doors in this photo (plus bonus London double decker bus). The black door is obvious, but there are doors in the two end ‘faces’ as well. I took this photo in Camden last week, on the way to aContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Camden, London”
Thursday Doors – Around the Corner
This tiny little door is just near to where I live, part of a fence bordering a residential property. My daughter loves it, always checking to see if anything is in the ‘towers’ around it, leaving daisies or coloured stones for the fairies. After all, who else could it be for? It is too smallContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Around the Corner”
Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge – Week 17: Calm
I’ve missed a few of Hugh’s Photo Challenges these past few weeks, simply because I didn’t feel I had the right shot. However, this week I hope I meet the challenge – the theme is ‘Calm’ and here is my image. It’s a shot of the beach near to where I used to live –Continue reading “Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge – Week 17: Calm”
Hugh’s Photo Challenge – Week 13: Love
Another last minute entry for Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge! The theme this week is Love, and so I’ve chosen a photo from my wedding day. It may seem an obvious choice, and in some ways it is. However, this photo says love to me for reasons beyond the obvious. I had a lovely wedding dayContinue reading “Hugh’s Photo Challenge – Week 13: Love”
Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 12 – Games
Well, I snuck in at the last minute with this one! This is a Snakes and Ladders game at the Enchanted Maze, near to where I used to live in Australia. I thought it a really cool idea which is why I took the photo – I think I had some dream of one dayContinue reading “Hugh’s Photo Challenge: Week 12 – Games”
Hugh’s Photo Challenge Week 11 – Rust
I’ve written about this object before. We found it on a beach in Ireland, just a little way around from where I photographed my rock face. We’d decided to climb along the rocks at the water’s edge to a small cove we could see in the distance. It turned out to be a fairly challengingContinue reading “Hugh’s Photo Challenge Week 11 – Rust”
#Thursday Doors – Marine Building, Vancouver
This week’s door is a revolving door from the Marine Building, located at 355 Burrard St, Vancouver. Built in 1930 in the Art Deco style, the Marine Building was the tallest building in Vancouver until 1939, and for a brief time was the tallest building in the British Empire. It is currently used as privateContinue reading “#Thursday Doors – Marine Building, Vancouver”
