Thursday Doors, June 22 2017

Amore’s coworker said: “You must go to Castagneto Carducci. There are some doors there waiting for you.” And so we went.

As we were going in that direction as it was, in search of the castle that didn’t want us from yesterday’s post, I rooted for this hilltop town. My friend obliged. Then we went to another. And then, when she saw the third town off my list up in the clouds before us, she pulled the plug : “No, I’m not going up there.” Welcome to Tuscany. 

With thanks to Luciano, who remembered our walk in Via Appia Antica in Rome and how he had to wait for me as I was shooting all those doors, here is the first half of the Castagneto Carducci doors. He was right, some are truly lovely, as is the view. See if you can see the heat.

If this police precinct didn’t want to be photographed, it shouldn’t be as pretty.

When it’s this hot, my camera does its own work. I merely turn around slowly.

I only spotted the life form above right now as I was editing the photos.

Cute.

More same life forms.

This one I saw when I was there…

…but I didn’t see the one below.

Bestia really wishes to go into this church since it’s fresh inside. See the heat above.

Pretty scene.

A close-up.

I wondered which ones Luciano liked.

Almost covered up.

Fully covered up. There is a door in there, I swear.

A bit removed.

I like this colour scheme.

A splash of colour.

The town is named after the poet Giosuè Carducci, and this is where he lived as a child.

Texture.

Then we saw this view and it was time for gelato and fresh pomegranate juice. Second part on a coming Thursday.
