Le Porte Italiane (Italian Doors)

Doors are fascinating.  

They beckon us to enter, to explore, to see what lies beyond. They also keep us out - leaving us to imagine what we can’t see. 

And nowhere are doors more fascinating than in Italy, where they have a special mystique, a special beauty. Aged, worn, colorful, mysterious - enchanting.

I take a lot of photos - and doors are often my subject.  Here are some that have particularly captured my imagination.  

Do you have a door photo that has intrigued you?  If so, please add them to this post with a response on Facebook. We would love to see them!
