The front doors from the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, in Florence. Informally known as the Duomo.

Today wanted to show you a few doors from villages near where I live.

Entrances tend to anchor the entire facade, especially when you look up from the street, I find out that on small houses or appartement, the door often becomes the focal point sometimes even more so than the rest of the building.

It is where architects (or builders, or homeowners) allow themselves a little more freedom and sometimes it broke totally the shape of the base

Even when the structure is limited by materials, budget, or local regulations, the entrance becomes a space for expression through color, proportions, handles and hinges, or small details.

As asked :

1,2,3,4,6,7 : Auribeau sur siagne - France

The Feathers Hotel Ludlow dating from the 1600’s. Was once the home of Reece Jones a Pembrokeshire Attorney. The lock plate bears his initial.

Imaging this is the door to your house….

The door seems to be composed of some kind of metal. It looks impenetrable actually.

Photo take by me with a Sony A7iii

The cover image and the three images that follow show the premises of the famous Aragua Dance Group, an institution founded in 1969 by Pablo Prazuela.

The second image shows: the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Saint Joseph in Maracay, 1994

But here are some of my photos.

Washington, D.C.

Doors conform to the overall aesthetic of the building.
