Doors 225 – Some gates of Bristol
A really quick one today. I had time earlier in the week to prepare some images from my archive, and I plumped for a selection of gates. All of these gates are from Bristol, none of them particularly special, but desperate times and all that…
The first gate boasts that is it the entrance to Bristol’s only camping and glamping site – I fear that they might have over-sold it a little. I hope you enjoy today’s selection:
Well that concludes proceedings for another week, I hope to have something a little more inspirational next time. May I wish you a pleasant end of week and weekend.

Doors 224 – Doors of Weston-super-Mare (2)
Obviously, I like to take pictures of doors, especially when I visit places that I don’t go to all that often, it becomes a bit of a habit to stop and look at a door that grabs my attention. It is difficult to know what constitutes a ‘good’ door and a door that is nothing out of the ordinary. I think this selection of doors from Weston-super-Mare on the north coat of Somerset sail quite close to the wind in terms of being ordinary, and being a little bit more interesting than that. I will let you be the judges of that, though.
I hope you enjoy this selection:
A short one this week – a very busy work day ahead.
May I wish you a great rest of week and weekend.

Doors 223 – Doors of Weston-super-Mare (1)
Last weekend, Paul H and I took a trip to Weston-super-Mare to photograph some of the street art there, not least the impressive recent additions from the last three years thanks to Upfest’s involvement with the Weston Wallz initiative. We hadn’t even left the station when I spotted a surfeit of doors on a Network Rail maintenance wagon – this was going to be a good day.
Being a seaside town, many of the doors are in fairly poor condition, from all that salt spray in the winter months, so, plenty of characterful doors, but not many ancient ones. The doors were a bit of a bonus on what was actually a street/graffiti art mission, but Paul was very patient with me as I snapped up a few interesting doors. I hope you enjoy them:
More to come from this trip in due course. My I wish you a happy end of week.

Doors 222 – Bristol street art and graffiti doors
I am definitely under the cosh at work at the moment, and simply haven’t had enough time to sort out Thursday doors, so for the second consecutive week I am serving up some street art doors from my archive – these ones were originally posted in August and September 2022.
Here we go:
OK, so you might have to search for the doors in these pictures, and in the last one the picture itself features a doorway, but it is the best I can do this week. I hope to collect some new doors this weekend.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

Doors 220 – Doors of Old Market, Bristol.
I actually photographed these doors earlier this week, which is something I haven’t done for a while. More often, I tend to rifle through my archives to find a set of doors for posting on Thursdays.
Old market is a bit of a strange part of Bristol, caught between architectural periods and bordered by busy roads. It looks a little bit tatty these days, but at one time would have been a bustling market area, and some of the doors and doorways reflect this.
There are lots of pubs and places to eat or be entertained, but the volume of traffic has taken away any sense of community or cohesion – I guess it happens to many cities around the world I guess. Faded glory.
I hope you enjoy the doors – rather too many doorfies for my liking, though!
Well, that brings proceedings to a close for another week – may I wish you a very happy weekend.

Doors 219 – Doors of Fowey, Cornwall
Phew! Today has been a bit of a beast, and I haven’t had any time to post my doors until now, and just as I had settled myself to write this post, my wife called to say she had a flat tyre and as I have just renewed the insurance, could I call out the breakdown recovery. All done now, and I can resume.
I have not photographed any doors recently, so this is a bit of a throwback to 2019 and some doors I encountered in Fowey in Cornwall, dredged from my doors archive. I hope you enjoy them. I have a favourite, I wonder if you can guess which one:
That really is all for this week – wishing you a happy weekend.
