Thursday Doors, September 7 2017

After Joey it’s Dan to the rescue, guest-hosting Norm’s Thursday Doors. For Dan, and all of you, a bunch of green doors.

I remember posting a lovely green door once and Dan commented that he doesn’t see green colour all that well. Here are doors in different shades of greenness for him to test his eyes. They are arranged from the lightest to darker green and rather blue ones towards the end.

I must admit that green is my favourite colour, doors or nature or clothes or cars or anything, really. But most of all I love green on my basketball team (even when they play in white). As I was writing my door post last week, Slovenia won their first game at the Euro championship and by now they have won all five. So far. This reminds me of the times when I was winning card tournaments: it’s sufficient not to lose.

I will also admit having thought that Dan would be the first Thursday Doors host and Joey the second, so I’d collected these Italian, Slovenian and one Czech green door already before gathering flowery doors for Joey.

And finally – keeping in mind all the people, and there are so many, who are suffering from real natural disasters – I have to admit that I’m quite a bit photoed out, travelled out, blogged out and burnt out from all the heat of this summer. I just wish to watch atomic basketball that Slovenia is playing and chill. And that’s what I will do, watch me. See you next week, same time same place.

The green door, nearest to my home: where I go to collect the mail.

Green in stone. Piran, Slovenia.

Tuscania is the green door queen too, it seems.

Also in Tuscania. I wish to crawl in the keyhole and peek out.

Isola del Giglio, the island closest to where we live.

Amore is good for perspective, among other things. Isola del Giglio.

Rome’s Monteverde residential district. It means “Green mountain.”

Porto Ercole: green, white and red, the Italian flag.

Some doors are chosen by bestia, for another bestia on the other side, no doubt. Civitavecchia.

A more modern door can be cute too. Monteverde, Rome.

Back to Tuscania and this beauty.

One more Tuscania door. Pink brings it out.

Christmas day, Rome.

One from Prague: this church was designed by Slovenian architect Jože Plečnik.

A sunny one from Piran on the Slovenian coast. Many from here to come.

Rome’s Piazza Farnese.

Monteverde, Rome.

Caldana.

Tuscania, and this is when green ends.

Just one more from Piran as a promise of things to come next week.
