Pick a door, any door. What's behind door #1, or 2 or 102? Got doors!
Need a handle to open the door.
No longer a door, just a charred doorway.
Locked door. I wonder what's inside.
An opened door reveals an inner courtyard. Word is, Hemmingway stayed here when he was in Mazatlan, Mexico
Doorway to the "beyond"?

This is a "happy" door. Never shoot into the sun so "they" say, but I purposely did so as the sun shone over an old ice house this morning. The resulting flare gave some "flare" to a plain looking building. Keep smiling and keep shooting and keep posting, everyone.

Opened in 1829 as part of a controversial movement to change the behavior of inmates through "confinement in solitude with labor," Eastern State Penitentiary quickly became one of the most expensive and most copied buildings in the young United States. It is estimated that more than 300 prisons worldwide are based on the Penitentiary's wagon-wheel, or "radial" floor plan.

Great start and words. I especially like the words from Flora Whittemore..... I love to drive in historic neighborhoods and look at doors, and dream about what lives may have been lived inside... Cant wait to see what folks come up with for this challenge....
