A Watchful Door



I love this door! Sure, the color is a bit dark, but look closer at just a few of the details...


Even the handles have faces...and when you go to open these doors, you aren't holding a handle, you're holding some kind of bizarre fishy looking lion!! (BTW, the handles on this door are at about eye level...I keep wondering why door handles were so high once upon a time...were people really that tall?

Theatrical Thursday



This is perhaps not the most exciting of doors, but you have to admit that it has certain qualities, albeit a little bit of an odd mixture, but nonetheless interesting! First of all, look at those hinges...talk about ornate!! Wow! And the brass grill over the windows...not ornate, but not boring, either! Then there is my favorite: the door handle...you see those two faces? They have big sheep ears!! That's funny!!

Now, would you like to know where this door leads to? It is the back entrance (staff entrance) to the fabulous Stavovske theater!! (Look at Google Images/Stavovske Divadlo for pictures of this building) You didn't expect that, did you?!

A Never-ending Job!


Today's door is dedicated to people who go back to work on Monday after having the weekend off. Why? Well, because this is a door where every day is Monday because the people here never leave the job.


I know, from a distance it's hard to tell much about this door other than the obvious: it's modern and metallic. Now, take a closer look...



Yep, the 'decoration' on the door is made up of fist-sized (a man's fist, not my little puny hand) heads turned in different directions. Behind this door is a loading dock, but even when work isn't going on there, the heads on the door are always at work!!
