Doors 131 – a welcome to Dan Anton and some more graffiti archive doors
It has been an ultra busy week, so I am returning to my ‘safety blanket’ of doors from my street art archives. The worrying thing is that I am steadily using up my reserve doors and really need to get out to photograph some new and exciting doors. Bristol is currently in the highest tier of covid-19 restrictions, so it may still be some time before I can get out and about.
This little selection were originally posted on Natural Adventures during December 2019 and January this year. Enjoy:
There is a door there somewhere – I promise
OK, So I cheated… There is a red gate in the wall at the bottom.
Well there was a bit of cheating in that lot, and quite a few boarded up doors, but in this friendly community of door lovers, I’m sure even oblique references to doors are acceptable.
So that’s it for this week. More next week I hope.
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.

Doors 129 – Dorchester doors (3)
A little rummage through my desktop archives revealed some doors I photographed on a work trip I took to Dorchester back in June last year, when life was so much less complicated. Rather than feed you a diet of street art doors every week, I thought I’d switch it up a bit with this little collection. Enjoy.
So another week swiftly passes us by, but it is important that we stop and smell the flowers every now and again, otherwise what is the point?

Doors 128 – a return to some street art and graffiti doors
As the country is once again locked down (although it somehow doesn’t feel as severe as the last time) photographing new doors continues to be something of a challenge. I long for a visit to a National Trust property or something similar, but I fer that such a trip is still a while off. In the meantime it is another dip into my archives to bring you some more graffiti doors from last year.
Short and sweet this week.
Have a great weekend and keep safe in this crazy world.

Doors 127 – Bristol doors with interesting surrounds
Sometimes it is not so much the door that is interesting but the brickwork, the awnings, the steps, or the whole design around an entrance that makes it stand out. This week’s selection of doors all have rather plain doors, but what surrounds them is worth a good look. Here we go:
That’s yer lot for another rather turbulent and unsettling week… US Election and England lockdown.
Be safe and kind wherever you are and have a great week.

Doors 126 – I can’t believe it’s Thursday doors
Please, please, please don’t tell me it is Thursday already. I have had a pretty busy week of it so far and completely forgot about Thursday Doors, in fact I completely forgot about Thursday.
I am going to have to quickly cobble something together during my lunch break. When I say ‘going to have to’ I wouldn’t like you to think that this is something I don’t enjoy doing or that is an onerous task that I am being forced to carry out. Not at all. I love doing it, I am just fighting against time, all the time. I am rather looking forward to semi-retirement (some years off) or complete retirement (a little further).
More archive street art/graffiti doors for you to enjoy:
That’s your lot for this Thursday
Have a great weekend and keep safe in this crazy world.

Doors 125 – More street art ‘memory lane’ doors
It is becoming more and more difficult to seek out new doors. The combined forces of coronavirus, the worsening weather and shortening days makes doorscursions particularly difficult at the moment, so I head straight for my comfort blanket and present you with some more archived doors this week, these ones mostly from last year.
Enjoy.
And that’s it I’m afraid this week, I am having to ration these out a bit because before you know it I will have run out of archive material and will be resorting to photographs of my kitchen cabinets and cupboard doors.
Have a great weekend.
