Thursday doors – 15 May 2025 – Copenhagen doors, Denmark

Doors 307 – Copenhagen, Denmark (part VII), September 2024

Eek! I have had quite a disrupted week this week, spending Monday and Tuesday in Leeds/Bradford/Saltaire, and I have lost my rhythm. I can’t believe it is already Thursday, and naturally I am ill prepared for Thursday Doors, other than that I clearly have a vast archive of doors in the pipeline. Furthermore, I had forgotten that Dan is having a rest from Thursday Doors this week, but that he will be including submissions in his Sunday roundup.

Today’s selection of doors I think will be the penultimate entry from Copenhagen, and I am already looking forward to which doors to follow up with. This week’s doors are from the North West and West of Copenhagen, continuing along the banks of the artificial lakes and into some rather more Bohemian areas of the city. Here we go:

Although the variety of doors in Copenhagen is vast, as vast as any other city, there is a distinct local style, particularly in the architecture surrounding the doors, that is so different from our doors in England, and elsewhere. The joy of Thursday Doors, vive la différence.

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.

  1. Vive la différence, indeed. I wrote a post a while back on just how marvelously diverse something as simple as “doors” can be, how creative–from the doors themselves to how the bloggers are interpreting the prompt.

    On this latest batch from Denmark, the photos you lead with have a striking charm. They’re tatty, for sure, but there’s something about them, the photo?

    What caught my eye about Ewaldsgade’s photo is the subtle play of light you had on the brick facade. It looks like the light may have been fading, and the building was catching the slant rays on the the top, and are a warmer light.

    I also “love me” a bright blue door surrounded by greenery.

    1. Some great observations, thank you for spending time exploring the doors in this selection. I agree with you about the tatty doors, something oddly alluring about them.

  2. Great collection of doors, Steve. I love that photo of the door and bicycle combination. The details in the support for the landing are very interesting. I also like the blue doors (which we don’s very often).

    I will include this in the Recap, but not until next Sunday. There won’t be a recap this week.
