This, one could say, is a fairly ordinary door. It’s old, certainly, the stone building it belongs to probably built a hundred years ago or more. Other than that, it’s fairly standard, with its carved panels and battered black painted finish. A door like many others around the world. But look a little closer, andContinue reading “Thursday Doors – Look Closer”

#writephoto – When The Water Falls
‘You been here long?’ ‘No, not really.’ ‘Me either,’ I say, dragging my finger through the water pooling on the sill. ‘Still, it’s weird, isn’t it?’ ‘What?’ ‘Well, like, I don’t think I’ve been here long.
