Waiting...

Why do I call this door 'Waiting'? Because, in my opinion, it is..

Waiting to be looked after...

Waiting to feel Regal.

Waiting to be cleaned, painted and polished.

Waiting to be beautiful and to be noticed...once again.

Oh! And waiting for wonderful, old door handles!

(The above handle is actually plastic!)

P.S. this door also falls under my 'sad' category

Refractive Friday

Though this poor door deserves far better than it has gotten, I must say that it does look good despite certain short-comings that are not its fault. What it does have is a nice handle, a beautiful collection of beveled windows that are like jewels and even an interestingly shaped window above the door. I have to say though that if this were my door, I would paint it a colour that would bring out its subtle yet valuable attributes. As it is, it is just looks dull and boring and has very little, other than the windows, to attract the regard of passersby. It goes pretty much without saying that once again (as we have seen many times here before), the graphitti on the door merits that severe action be taken by the SPCD* against the perpetrator! If only it were possible!!
