Wednesday's Corner View: The Front Door

I couldn't seem to decide on just one door,  so decided to included a few that have caught my eye.

1.(upper left) - The grand old door which we walk the children past on their way to school, which is covered in dust and looks as if it has not been opened in many many years.
Have been more than a little  tempted to peek in the key hole!
2. (upper right)  this grey house with its tarnished blue door for some reason makes me wonder about the woman of the house.... what kind of face would you find if it opened? Perhaps a stern older woman with silver streaked hair...
3.(lower left) a tucked away old ally (which there plenty of here in Zabbar), something about that  short door at the end... how many hundreds of years has it been sitting there looking out? Somehow I imagine a garden behind it...perhaps some orange trees or a huge overgrown fig tree?
4. (lower right) the greenery overgrown, a golden door on a small street in the silent city of Mdina, high up on the hill, if only this door could speak....

Which one would you most like to open?

  1. I would go for number 3... although they all look interesting.
    Walking around Mdina always make me fantasize about what's behind the small doors.

  5. I too would like to open the door at the end of the alley- maybe there is a garden behind it... reminds me a little of the book/movie The Secret Garden. I think that I need to start carrying around my camera when we're out and about. There are so many beautiful hidden places I find at the end of an alley, around corners- places where you least expect! Great photos Juniper :o)

  8. Oh, I'd open all, but first I'd start with number 4. I imagine a castle behind it, and a beautiful princess asleep, ready to be awakened. Sleeping Beauty was a childhood favorite fairy tale.

  9. My eyes immediately went to the 3rd photo with the door tucked away and I would also imagine once this door is open one would find a magic garden or a world so different from the outside that it would change people from humans to half human half animals ??? maybe who knows :)

  10. Gorgeous doors all. You're so lucky to live so steeped in beauty. It would have to be the blue door or the green door for me. And Oh! I just noticed on your radio favorites list: NY'er fiction podcasts (!!!!!) Where have I been all my life? Must go straight there!

  12. The golden door overhung with greenery just invites! But I have to say I love a rich, mysterious blue door as well. Beautiful shots!

  13. I think I would like to open the blue door. It looks like a fascinating house. All the doors seem pretty mysterious though.

  15. Oh ....wonderful!
    I would go for door no. 2. Somehow I think that the person who lives there has a lot to tell.

  16. #3!! I think there's a garden behind it, too. I love doors in Europe. We're not so creative here in the U.S.

  17. They are indeed all very beautiful. My favorite, however, is the blue.

  21. Jupe, I saw this right after I read about a book of short stories called The Doorbells of Florence. The book consists of photos of doors and their bells and then stories inspired by the same.

    I hope that you are having fun withyour mom and dad. Tell them it is snow/raining!
    love to you and your family,
    Maria

  23. The one on the bottom left, down that long corridor lined with all those marvelous plants! It's been a wee while since I've commented over here so please forgive me, sweet Juniper! Just gushing over your amazing life in Malta. WHAT a visual feast!
