Thursday doors – 4 July 2024, Assisi, Umbria, Italy

Doors 270 – Assisi doors, Umbria, Italy, July 2023 (Part I)

At last, a return to a warmer climate and a reflection on our family holiday to Umbria last year. I had set out to spend the week beside the pool, with a glass of wine to hand admiring the views, but when you are surrounded by hilltop cities, towns and villages, it is very difficult not to venture out and explore. My head says relax, but my heart says discover, and my heart won out.

This was a day trip we took to Assisi, a place that I have visited many times before, but each time I make new discoveries, and walk different routes. It is a beautiful town and fortunately most of the visitors stick to the lower end where the Basilica of St Frances is located. There is no theme to the doors this week, although the theme of Assisi doors would appear to be enough.

Today is a very important day in British politics, as well as American history. To the Brits I say don’t forget to vote and remember your photo ID and to our cousins across the pond I wish you a joyful Independence Day.

Here are some doors:

Next time I will have some more doors from Assisi. Until then may I wish you a happy weekend.

If you have made it this far, you probably like doors, and you really ought to take a look at the No Facilities blog by Dan Anton who has taken over the hosting of Thursday Doors from Norm 2.0 blog. Links to more doorscursions can be found in the comments section of Dan Anton’s Thursday Doors post.

I am Stephen. I live in Bristol, UK. I decided to shorten my profile...to this: Wildlife, haiku, travel, streetart, psychogeography and my family. Not necessarily in that order.

  2. These are wonderful doors, Steve. I always like seeing doors on a hill. Always an interesting way to start your journey (making sure you don’t stumble). Your last photo is particularly impressive. I hope you have a great day/weekend and I hope the vote goes your way.

  4. Thank you for the excellent photo gallery of doors. The second door with the metal grill elegantly framed in the archway. The archway to the shrine is quite inviting. I like the stone work…each one unique.

    I hope the election result reflect the voice of the people. Cheers.
