Mais uma porta fechada. Quantas histórias em aberto?
One more closed door. How many open histories?

@yiannis krikis: Thank you Yiannis.
By what I've heard this old building is going to give place to a touristic facility.
Srinivas Koduri from Wheeling, IL, United States
very nice piece of work. true there is a lot behind the closed doors

@Srinivas Koduri: Thanks.
I'm sure that behind this one, through th years, a lot of stories took place... ;-)
colourblind from Tokyo, Japan
Wow what a perspective. Is that a little door or are you a really tall person. I love it.

@colourblind: ;-)
I was just acting Humpty Dumpty on the wall in front of it.
Nick Passantino from Bronx, United States
Great one.. like the perspective you used to get this shot.. makes it look like a tiny door
10 Apr 2007 4:31pm
@Nick Passantino: Thanks Nick!
Not tiny at all...
Helen from Melbourne, Australia
Wonderful. You've captured the massive quality of this old door and the colours are superb.

@Helen: Hi Helen!
Thank you for the comment.
A pity that this good old resistant door will disappear quite soon...
badala from Leiria, Portugal
Gosto do ângulo que usaste ( parece que a porta vair cair). Gosto dos tons.

@badala: Obrigado Badala!
Era eu que ia caindo e não a porta... ;-)

Jen from Jessup, United States
Wonderful perspective! Love the textures and tones!

@Jen: Thank you Jen.
I like particulary one tiny detail that no one mentioned, the spots of sunlight in this proud old door... :-)
Ken McCoy from Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL, United States
Your photography is so bold! It's set off very well by the borders you put around your pictures.
10 Apr 2007 7:49pm
@Ken McCoy: Ken, that's a very kind comment...Thanks! :-)
My idea was to create a border that wouldn't interfer with the picture itself.
kaveh from TEHRAN, Iran
You created Beautiful perspective in this shot!! i like the tones.

@kaveh: Thanks kaveh and welcome. :-)
@Art Monkey: Thanks!
There is a multitud of doors like this one around the area...
It could become a series...I'll think about it...
Inès from Belgium

No that clever in terms of personal safety... ;-)
