Thursday doors – 7 April 2022

Doors 180 – Some doors from the city of Westminster, Greater London

I work as a civil servant, and my department is based in London, although I report to an office in Bristol. As we emerge into a new normal, my immediate team (four of us, each located in different parts of England) have decided to get together for meetings once a month in London at our main office. The most recent meeting was last Friday, and the walk from Westminster underground station to the department takes me past some rather grand doors. Here are some of them I thought worthy of sharing:

Perhaps I can bag another clutch of doors next time I return to the London office, that’s yer lot for now though.

May I wish you a pleasant weekend.

Thursday doors – 31 March 2022

Doors 179 – Doors from the Temple Meads area of Bristol

I managed to take a short trip to some streets I rarely visit over the weekend, and while I was there I took a few door photographs.  The area lies between Temple Meads railway station and St Phillip’s Marsh and is mostly turned over to light industry that must have built up around the station over the years. Much of the area is fairly run down, and there are bridges and tunnels underneath the railway all over the place.

So there we have it for another week – my work is still extraordinarily busy, so not too many words or research accompanying the pictures. May I wish you all a very happy week until next time.

Doors 178 – Some random Bristol back street doors

I managed to raid my door archive at the weekend and found these doors, all looking a little bit tatty and slightly neglected, but they are only back street doors after all. I have to say I am rather attracted to these kinds of doors as they are full of character. I hope you enjoy them:

In a moment of freedom last week, I also managed to photograph this rather interesting green door from a row of 1950s houses alongside a dual carriageway in Bristol. I was rather attracted to it and considered it worth sharing with you.

So that’s it for another week. I hope that I will soon be out photographing more doors and with a rather exciting mini-break planned for June I will be certain to bring something a little different to my usual offerings on Thursday doors.

Doors 177 – Doors for Ukraine

Sweet and simple this week. I am short of time again, so I thought I’d recycle some blue and yellow doors to show my support for the proud and wonderful people of Ukraine. There is little else I can do. A small gesture.

So that’s about it for this week, I hope that these doors chime for you and help us all to reflect on the terrible suffering that is happening in Eastern Europe right now.

Thursday Doors – 3 March 2022

Doors 175 – Mountain doors, Alpe d’Huez, February 2022 (2)

This is the second and final Thursday doors from a recent skiing trip to the French Alps. Not many doors in this post, but I was there to enjoy the skiing, the views and the company, doors I’m afraid were a bit of an afterthought (Thursday doors heresy?).

Still very busy at work, so this will be mercifully brief. Enjoy.

That’s it for this week. My thoughts are with the people of Ukraine, much else feels a little pointless at the moment, but I guess we must carry on.
