Thursday Doors, November 23 2017

The Tuscany-Slovenia-Rome rotation of Thursday Doors brings us back to Monteverde, my hood whenever I’m in Rome.

Since I have to walk the dog anyway, I might have my camera with me at all times, I say and I do it. I’ve gotten to know all the doors in a neat little circle. The emphasis is on little. I’ve shared many already and it’s a bit of a struggle to find interesting ones.

That’s why, instead of enlarging the circle, I’ve started to take photos of doors also at night and through the fence. One of these days a resident will chase me away with a broom, and I’ll pledge to Norm, the traditional Thursday Doors host.

(Nah, I’m exaggerating on purpose. All of these were taken from the sidewalk of what I could see through the fence in passing, without any special manoeuvres.)

Panda view.

Luckily, people are generally friendly here.

Some protect their property with a non-see-through gate.

Some doors are mirrors.

Some let you have a peek.

Some don’t give anything away.

But most gates have gaps wide enough for the camera.

A view in. Feels a bit stalkerish.

Busted! My hand shook as a result.

Exaggerating. I might as well walk right in.

Okay, not climbing that.

Interestingly, in Italian the word for ‘institute’ has lost its ‘n’.

As usually, to end with three favourite peeks through the fence.

I love all the life.

And the light.

Red skirt and red star. Thank you, bestia, for walking me regularly.
