Thursday Doors, December 22

Today is not so much about doors as specimens but more about a town, its streets, arches and apertures.

Orbetello is about 15 minutes away, so it has been featured before, also doorwise, but there is something about it that makes me happy. I think it’s its colours. None of the photos below were taken in winter though.

The featured door that proclaims “Resta sveglio”, “Stay alert”, was discovered along the walkway around the lagoon. Most of the rest were captured on the Corso, the main shopping street where I strolled yesterday wondering if people really pay 150 EUR for a belt, what multicoloured party glass markers say about our society, and why I didn’t bring my camera. It had been raining, that’s why.

And then I made these cookies. Their irregular, flat shape – even though they were supposed to be balls – didn’t inspire me to take photos, but they are yum. Thank you, Francesca, for another great recipe! (This cake was my first.)

But now some Thursday doors and other kinds of holes.
