This is my first venture into Dan’s Thursday Doors challenge although I’ve been meaning to to so for yonks…
So beginning with a favourite – from the cathedral in Lamego, Douro region, Portugal….







This is my first venture into Dan’s Thursday Doors challenge although I’ve been meaning to to so for yonks…
So beginning with a favourite – from the cathedral in Lamego, Douro region, Portugal….
And a good venture it proved to be.
Thank you Mari – I’m on a mission now – trawling through my photos for suitable candidates!!
wonderful doors for your first Thursday doors post
Thank you Tanja – delighted with the opportunity to show such beautiful work..
Welcome to Thursday Doors. Nothing like showing up with some wonderful photos to share. I love the close ups of the details in that entrance, I can’t imagine the work and skill required. Thanks for joining us and for sharing these photos.
Thanks Dan – looking forward to the challenge – I must have SO many doors waiting for Thursdays!!
Glad to hear that.
Wow! So ornate & beautiful!
I think so too – and no one was paying the least bit of attention to it when we were there. There are famous steps close by which attract visitors to the town – I think people concentrate on them…
I love it when I discover less popular sights … no need to push & squeeze 🥴
As a teacher, I spent my life traveling in peak season – imagine the horror of Italy in early August!!! Because I knew no better, I assumed that travel outside the season would be too dull and quiet. Since retirement, we’ve had a few June trips – like this one to Portugal – just brilliant!!! The main sights are nowhere near as crowded and less popular places like this one are almost empty…. bliss!!!
One of the many perks of off-peak travel! I am glad you are enjoying it!
Loving it! Even when not travelling, I wake every morning with a smile on my face!!
That’s a beauty
Thanks Sheree – I’ve finally embraced the challenge – I don’t know how many times I’ve looked at your Thursday Doors and said ‘ I must do that@!!!
Welcome on board
That’s a stunning door.
Beautiful isn’t it – I’m not a huge fan of symmetry but I’ll make an exception here!
Fabulous details on that door – I love the little carved animals!
…. and there are so many of them in good shape – they seem to be evading erosion …
Elegant detailing!
It must be wonderful to create something like that….
Wonderful details. Nice oblique shot to show off the contoured decoration.
Thank you – Glad you enjoyed…XXXXMarie
Love it and plan on posting a few times on the Thursday doors once home from Europe.
I’ve been going through photos and all I see now are windows!!!😅 😂 🤣
Oh I love these door details, absolutely amazing 🙂
Thank you Hannah – XXXMarie
