Doors 187 – Porto doors (Part 1)
A little part of me was rather hoping that Porto (or Oporto in Portuguese), meant door, as Porte in French and Porta in Italian do, however it means ‘harbour’. In a way though, I guess that a harbour is a type of doorway into a city/town, so I will run with the analogy because it works for Thursday doors.
At the very start of June my daughter and I went to Porto in the north of Portugal, for a mini-break, and what an amazing city it is. Over the three full days we walked miles and miles up and down steep hills but without a plan, and we were rewarded with making some incredible discoveries. The other thing about not having a plan is that stopping to take photographs of doors is completely legitimate, and my daughter was most accommodating in this respect.
This is the first of several Porto door posts, which I will be sharing over the coming weeks when time permits. Forgive me if I become a bit of a Porto door bore. I hope you enjoy this first selection:
These doors are just a taster of what is to come, and I am very much looking forward to sharing them with you. Have a fabulous weekend wherever you are.

Doors – 186 – Westminster doors
I have been very challenged in recent weeks with finding time to write Thursday doors posts and equally frustratingly I have neglected my reading of other bloggers’ posts, so I apologise for the radio silence and promise to catch up on my reading when I get a moment.
This post will necessarily be quite brief and is the third instalment of Westminster doors from visiting my London office back in May. I hope you enjoy this little selection:
That pretty much rounds it off this week, and for Westminster doors for a little while – my next series of posts will feature doors from Porto, Portugal, and you are in for a little bit of a treat.

Doors – 185 – Westminster doors
Still the pressure of work prohibits as full a post as I should like to write this morning for Thursday doors. The selection I have for you this week is another batch of doors from Westminster, where I have to work about once a month. On my work trips, I take the opportunity to photograph a few doors, to spice up the walk from Westminster station to the office.
I guess I am fortunate that the walk takes me through some extraordinary and historic places, and it is all too easy to take such things for granted. Anyhoo, I hope you enjoy today’s selection:
So that is it for another week. No doors from me next week as I will be on a mini-break with my daughter. Of course, I will take the opportunity to go on a couple of doorscursions!

Doors 184 – Street art doors in Bristol
Another very quick one today, as I am in Somerset at the declaration of a new National Nature Reserve. I have drafted up this post yesterday evening so that I can participate in Thursday doors (going above and beyond).
These doors are some more street art doors, all of which have been posted on my blog before, but not as Thursday doors, so most of you won’t have seen them before. They were originally posted in October and November last year, I hope you enjoy them…
There are definitely one or two crackers in that lot. I hope you enjoy them.
Quick and simple this week – I might have time for some more Westminster doors next week…

Doors 183 – Westminster doors
You may recall that I occasionally have team meetings in London. Well, with a return to blended working, occasional has turned into regular monthly meetings, the most recent of which was last Friday. The office is in Westminster, and this time I decided to change my normal route to work from the tube station, to give myself a bit of a doorscursion through some of the more interesting bits of the City of Westminster.
No visit to Westminster is complete without at least a glance at Westminster Abbey, but there are many other notable buildings in the area, and some extraordinary offices and private homes too. I think that this selection shows off some truly magnificent doors that Westminster has to offer. I hope you enjoy these gems.
There will be more doors from Westminster next time, but until then, may I wish you a very enjoyable weekend.

Doors 182 – Doors of Montpelier, Bristol
A quick introduction this week – work pressures are as heavy as ever. These doors were photographed on a dog walk a week or so ago, in a nearby area of Bristol called Montpelier (or Montepeculiar by some), famed for the Bohemian lifestyle of its inhabitants, whether accurately or not. I hope you enjoy my little tour of doors in the district.
So that’s it for another week. May I wish you all a very happy weekend.

Doors 181 – another instalment of street art doors
When I am super-busy, I tend to share doors that I have posted previously on Natural Adventures, under the street art category, and today’s post is one of those. You might have to look quite hard to find the doors in some of these images, but they are there. It is nice to repurpose these pictures and give them a second life. These doors were originally posted in August and September last year:
So, that’s it for another week. I hope to resume with some doors of Bristol I recently photographed next week.
