Across the Threshold



The Poster that Hangs in my Kitchen
Something I always enjoy when traveling is the different architecture.  Cities always have a certain flavor about them, especially in the more historic areas.  Nashville looks different than Charleston, which looks different than Paris, which looks different than Rome, which looks different than London.  In my kitchen, I have a framed poster that I bought while in Dublin from a cheesy souvenir shop on Temple Bar.  I actually left the shop, then went back 15 minutes later to buy the poster.  It's a collection of photographs of Irish Doors - 25 of them to be exact.  Old Irishmen poke their heads out of some of them, another boasts a liquor license for the week, and all of them are decorated with colorful paint or elaborate lintels.  I'm not a poster person, but I love this particular one.

Today I came across a photo article showcasing "30 Beautiful Doors that Seem to Lead to Other Worlds."  Below are some of my favorites...follow the link to see more!
