On Mondays Window I posted the Windows of Verona that I found while looking for something else. I also discovered some doors that hadn’t been shown before.
We’ll kick off with the oldest door in The Arena. This door was built in 30AD
Up to the mid 1300’s and the Castlevecchio Museum
I have no idea about the next two doors
My Latin isn’t the best and Roman Numerals…how about the year 933?
My ability to parse in Latin was hopeless but it’s a great door surround
Do you think I had the doors in the right order, from oldest to newest.
I again used *Albumen a photo technique 1850 – 1900 after I:- Decreased brightness -2% Increased contrast +48% Increased saturation +63% Then applied a sepia wash at 68%
Increased saturation 13% Decreased brightness 11% Used effects filter Retro-Pop set to 68% Colour Match 100%
There is only one song to ride a Carousel on with the Hollies
*A print made using albumen paper, popular for photographic printing between 1850 and 1900. Thin paper was coated with a layer of egg-white (albumen) containing salt and sensitized with a silver nitrate solution, then printed using daylight under a negative. The resulting paper had a smooth surface with a fine sheen. Albumen prints could be toned with a gold solution which gave a rich purplish-brown colour to the image and reduced the risk of fading. https://www.npg.org.uk/collections/explore/glossary-of-art-terms/albumen-print
Now we can begin our travels to see if there are any circular wonders to be found. We’ll need these to get round. In case you were wondering, the price was you’ve got to be joking
We’ll go outside, looking round we can see a carved circular shape in the sandstone wall. That was carved in 1892.
Look up. There’s a dome on the Dali Museum in Figures, Spain
Now everyone has to crouch down for this one. Now look through the hole in the back of the chair. Now, wouldn’t you take a photo too?
Back inside. Now we’re in a small rural hall. They kept the ceiling rose thank goodness when they upgraded the power in the hall. They couldn’t get flouro strips to fit the old ceiling rose.
Speaking of roses, I found this one which is rather circular. Also quite pretty. I have no idea of the name
Look, over there the Banksia is flowering, quite circular looking top down
Of course it’s now look up at the ceiling of the ceiling of The Pantheon, Rome
While we are in Rome we may as well have a look at the ceiling in the Basilica Santa Maria degli Angeli e dei Martiri
The most circular of all are the little sand balls made by a Sand Crab excavating a burrow at low tide
Here’s the little bloke. Let it run for a bit, it will get the correct Sand Crab speed. That is all the frames in a 10 frame/second made intro a GIF. I still don’t know how I managed to get it into my media files. I hope it still works for you
Here we are at the most famous circular I know of Circular Quay in Sydney
Now you’ve been everywhere, so we might as well join Lucky Starr with I’ve Been Everywhere The lyrics are all Australian places
Inspired by Dans digging through the archive, I thought I haven’t done a set of photos that go back in time to photos where doors were either featured or just part of another scene. I am sure there might be a few before Manja nagged me about doing Thursday Doors 😂
A fire place door in a Lismore back lane behind a bakery. It’s where they take the ash out of the fireplace
Just a door in Lismore
The link between two buildings of the Grand Hyatt Seoul South Korea. Either side of the walkway are gardens.
All the doors on the right lead into the conference centre in the Grand Hyatt
This door is from the office where I had a part time job. When they remodelled the servo shop I asked for the very heavy glass door. It is now on the playhouse I built for my daughters.
Please don’t scare this door any more OK?
Everyones favourite from my very first Thursday Doors. It is in Avignon near the Palais des Papes
A lot of people liked this one as well from Avignon
The classic Moorish design in Toledo Spain
All you have to do is obey signs on doors OK?
An old cottage in the Australian bush. I used to drive past a few time a year and only ever took a couple of photos as it’s a fair way off the road. I would have loved to explore inside.
