Thursday doors – 5 January 2023
Doors 204 – Croatia doors (part 1)
Happy New Year, doorsters.
Although it feels like a distant memory now, it was only a few months ago that we had a fabulous family summer holiday in Croatia. It was our first visit to the country, and I am certain that we will return together or individually in the future.
For the first phase of our trip we were based in a small town called Zaton, situated on the coast between the Istrian Peninsula to the North West and Zadar to the south, and the doors this week are all from Zaton. Posting these photographs is filling me with nostalgia, and I hope you enjoy them as much as I have on revisiting them:
It feels good to be back on the Thursday doors rails, and I look forward to sharing my and viewing your doors in 2023.

Doors 203 – My favourite doors of 2022 – a review
It is customary on the last Thursday before the Christmas break to present a selection of favourite doors from the last year. This is my selection, and I had some real beauties to choose from this year. I hope you enjoy them this second time round. I look forward to seeing other Thursday door selections too.
So that’s it for the year. 2022 has been a very difficult year for so many reasons. I guess it is fitting that the final pair of doors in blue and yellow represent the colours of a country that I hadn’t given much consideration before dictator Putin’s “special operation” and invasion this year. I dedicate this gallery of doors to the people of Ukraine, keeping them very much in my thoughts this Christmas.
May I take the opportunity to wish you all a very happy holiday season, and Christmas. See you all on the other side.

Doors 202 – Door pairs from the Bristol archive
Good morning – and another foggy start in Bristol today. This week I have done a quick trawl of my archive, and found these pairs of doors from around the city that I hope you enjoy. Although they are pairs, there is a degree of asymmetry about most of them that I rather like.
That’s your lot this time. Next week, I might have some doors from our summer trip to Croatia to share with you, if I can get organised enough.

Thursday doors – 24 November 2022
Doors 201 – Random Cheltenham and Bristol doors.
One month to go until Christmas. Another year is racing by all too quickly. When I was younger, the days dragged on, and often I would wish time away. Now I treasure each moment, and would love the sands of time to slow a little.
This week’s offering is a random selection of rather fancy doors from Cheltenham and Bristol, with no particular theme in mind, just doors that I like. No stories or narrative, simply snaps:
That’s all for another week, thank you for dropping by, and may time move slowly for you this weekend.

Doors 200 – some Bristol street art and graffiti doors.
This week, I am delving into my archive to bring you some street art and graffiti doors. If I am honest, this is a bit of a cheat, because they are doors that have already been published on Natural Adventures, but in the context of a street art blog post. All I am doing here is corralling a few of them together into a Thursday doors piece, but that is OK, isn’t it?
These doors were originally photographed in December 2021 and January 2022, I hope you enjoy them:
So that’s yer lot this week. I’ll try to find time to upload some Bristol doors for next week. Until then, may I wish you all a fabulous weekend.

Doors 199 – Porto doors (Part 12)
So here it is. You have been most patient with my series on Porto doors, and today I bring you my last post on what was a doorscursion and a half last June. In graffiti speak, this would be called a ‘dregs’ piece – using up what is left behind, and as such it is a rather eclectic collection. June seems so very, very far away, but seeing these pictures brings me comfort as we enter the dark winter period.
I hope you enjoy this selection.
First up is the most popular café in Porto, the Majestic Café, with its stunning facade – a number one destination for tourists, and you can see why.
The remaining doors are from different parts of the city, photographed over three magical days.
Farewell fair Porto – next week I might have a few Bristol doors to share.
