I have found it difficult to get out and about photographing doors recently, so this selection is another trawl through my archives of street art and graffiti art doors from last year. All of these doors were originally featured as posts on street art in October and November 2021, but are being repurposed for Thursday doors. If you recognise these from the first time round, please forgive me. Enjoy:

That’s yer lot this week I’m afraid. Maybe just maybe I’ll get out to photograph some doors before the next time we meet. Until then, have a lovely weekend.

My apologies, my life has been somewhat overtaken by a busy spell at work and unfortunately Thursday doors has had to give. I missed it completely last week and this week I have a small offering of random doors in Bristol from a little while ago that have been lurking in my doors archive folder. No explanations, no theme, just doors:
Graffiti door, Stokes Croft, Bristol, May 2021

A couple of weeks ago I took a week off work and decided to go and visit my mother and her partner on the south coast for. I hadn’t seen them for over a year and it was so good to spend time with them face to face. Of course, while I was there my mother put me to good use getting me to do some odd jobs around the house that had been building up for a while.
One such job was to drive them into Chichester and help with taking watches to be mended and buy some kitchen things in Lakeland. Of course, the opportunity to photograph some lovely doors presented itself and I took leave of my duties for five minutes to photograph these beauties. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.

So that’s it for another week, I hope you have a good one.

This is the second set of photographs of Blaise Hamlet, a small National Trust estate of ‘Lilliputian’ cottages in North Bristol, where posting doors is really an excuse for me to share this amazing place with you, as the doors themselves aren’t really anything too special.
I managed to visit a couple of weeks ago with the dog in tow, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This small oasis reminds us of days gone by and a less complicated time that offers a sense of peace and tranquility. Enjoy the second part of this visit:

Blaise Hamlet, Bristol, May 2021 Doorway to No 8 Blaise Hamlet, Bristol, May 2021 No 9 Blaise Hamlet, Bristol, May 2021
I hope that you have enjoyed the quick tour of these delightful cottages, and strongly recommend that if you find yourself in Bristol with 30 minutes to kill, a quick visit would be very worthwhile.

Doors 148 – Another plunge into some archive street/graffiti art doors
Still swamped with work, and although I did actually go on a doorscursion last weekend, I haven’t had time to upload the photographs yet. What this means is that I have had to have a very rapid rummage in my archives for some street art or graffiti doors from last year. Here they are:
Varo, Leonard Lane, Bristol, September 2020 Nathan Bowen, Jamaica Street, Bristol, September 2020 Nathan Bowen, Hepburn Road, Bristol, September 2020
DazCat, M32 Cycle path, Bristol, September 2020 Hazard, Jamaica Street, Bristol, September 2020 Getting Up To Stuff, Jacob’s Wells Road, Bristol, September 2020 Inkie, M32 Spot, Bristol, September 2020
Doors 147 – At last some doors from a recent wander in Bristol
Many of the doors that I photograph are from exploratory walks in my endeavours to seek out street/graffiti art that I have not seen before. These expeditions require me to go to places that I have never been to, and I found these gems in a light-industrial estate in Bedminster. It was a gorgeous day and the world felt good.

All in all a good walk, and I found some street art that I have been searching for for months leaving me a very happy person. That’s yer lot for this week, have a fabulous weekend wherever you are.
