Arches & Doorways
An arch is a vertical curved structure that spans an elevated space and may or may not support the weight above it, or in case of a horizontal arch like an arch dam, the hydrostatic pressure against it. Arches may be synonymous with vaults, but a vault may be distinguished as a continuous arch forming a roof.
Doorways
A doorway is the place through which you enter a room. Some doorways have actual doors, while others are merely arched openings into a room or building.
This Challenge is all about Arches and Doorways
Arches can be Found in all sorts of places in Art, Part of the architectural make-up of a structure, in Nature such as Natural Bridges. Doorways are just that entrances.

I have a friend, who's favorite subject
is doors... and arches
She shoots them from all over Europe, Mexico,

So many, that I just let her shoot them...
And she's good with them...
So, I just don't shoot them much...
I should start, really, I should....
