Please shut the door....please open the door

Toc, toc, toc…I like this little door very much and its knocker. This is my friend Carlos' house door, in the village. Monchéri and I occasionally knock at his door on Sundays evenings to play music together, in a very amateurish way. Can you imagine listening to blues music through this door ?


I always pass by this graffiti painted door, also in my village and I like it because we don’t know what lies behind.


Green door in a village nearby


Typical Spanish blue door with shutters outside my friend’s Gym old restored barn



Let there be light…I love this forged iron door inside Gym’s barn.


The magnificence of the Alhambra revealed through an arch.

Follow the path to the light in the gardens of the Generalife palace in the Alhambra.

Don’t stand in the shade…come to the light. I sometimes wonder what a toreador feels like when he enters the arena. Is it fear, is it excitement. (this is one of my little theater scenes made of paper)

Lucky for me that the Doors of the World have opened to show me your work and world. I'm enjoying this trip around the globe and meeting such wonderful artists and bloggers. I love the doors that have caught your eye. I long to visit the Alhambra so much! Best wishes.

You paint such a lovely picture when you ask how we would like to hear the blues coming from behind your friend's door. I would like to hear that very much! Each and every door you've shared with us here is fantastic. Thank you!

So happy to find you here in Lala land! Your doors, each one a beauty in it's own rite!
Mystery door number two is curious. I would love to meet the person that created it!

What a beautiful post,Lala.

I would love to listen to you play blues music behind that door even in an "amateurish" way. I am in an "amateur" band as well. We call ourselves the Hip Replacements. My friend had her hip replaced a few years ago...and we thought it would be cute.

My favorite is the graffiti painted door.

Nice to visit.

You area is definitely on my list of places I must see.

A wonderful collection of doors.

I love the first one, and would love to hear the blues one Sunday.

Are there doors anywhere more beautiful than in Spain? I don't think so. Thanks for these gorgeous photos.

And the blues? Oh, yes, anytime please!
