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:
A rather fancy entrance, Bristol, September 2020There is something about the 15 above the door, Bristol, September 2020Door covered in ‘slaps’ (stickers), Bristol, September 2020Door and doorway, Orchard Street, Bristol, September 2020Door and doorway, Orchard Street, Bristol, September 2020Door and doorway, Orchard Street, Bristol, September 2020
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.

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).

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.

This week I am getting ahead of the game and preparing over the weekend (now last weekend) some regular Bristol doors from photographs taken over the past few months – just a hotch potch of doors with no theme. There are one or two interesting ones in there which I hope you enjoy.
Happy door hunting.

So there you have it – I am able to do doors other than street art doors although I suspect that is a theme I will return to before long if I struggle with time.
Have a great weekend.

Doors 123 – Yet more recycling of street/graffiti art doors
It may come as some relief to readers of this post that I am gently approaching the end of the road with my archived street art doors. I might be able to squeeze a further four or five weeks out of them but then the pressure will be on to capture some new doors.
Actually I do have a few Bristol doors up my sleeve, but just need a little bit more time to write about them.
Anyhoo, enjoy today’s offering:

I am totally maxed out at work at the moment, so this will be short and sweet. Some more graffiti/street art doors from my archive. I am beginning to fret about what will happen when I have exhausted my archive.

This week I am attempting to write Thursday Doors on a Thursday. You wouldn’t think that it would be too difficult, I mean there is a clue in the title, but last week I goofed and posted Thursday Doors on a Friday. Time has got the better of me once again and I am resorting to my large archive of street/graffiti art photographs to see if I can find doorsy ones. Here are a few that were originally posted in 2019:
Xenz, Devon Road, Bristol, July 2018Sake One, Upfest, Bristol, July 2018Run Z, Moon Street, Bristol, January 2019Face 1st and Soap, Mina Road, Bristol, February 2019Stewy, Thursday Doors, Bedminster, Bristol, July 2016Deamze, King Square Avenue, Bristol, August 2018Coin-Op Militia, Mr Klue and DNT, Stokes Croft, Bristol, January 2017Klaas Van der Linden, Shoreditch, London, November 2018
It wont be too long before I run out of these archive shots, so I really do need to get out and find a few more doors locally. Have a great weekend wherever you are and whatever you are doing.

Doors 120 – Some Cheltenham doors (posted a day late)
It has been a month since I last posted Thursday doors and like the idiot I am, I missed this Thursday for my comeback, so here is my offering a day (and a month) late.
I took these pictures on a trip to Cheltenham for the annual Paint Festival hosted there a couple of weekends ago. I can’t remember the last time I posted some newly photographed doors rather than the archive graffiti ones I have been posting lately, so I hope you enjoy them.
Awning in need of a minor repair, Cheltenham, September 2020Beautiful birdcage awning, Cheltenham, September 2020OK, so it’s a little out of focus, but this door was just too good to leave out, Cheltenham, September 2020An ornate wrought iron awning, Cheltenham, September 2020The steps are curved and even the red door is curved, Cheltenham, September 2020A gorgeous door somewhat eclipsed by the warning notices to the right, Cheltenham, September 2020
So there we have it, I managed to get myself back into the swing of things, albeit a day late. Expect more archive pictures next week, unless I get myself out for a walk somewhere.

I still haven’t been out much lately so there aren’t too many new doors to write home about, although these little doors in a street nearby caught my eye. The great thing about people having to stay at home is that they get creative.
These little doors on the front garden wall of a family home are unlikely to have ever happened in normal circumstances. They made me laugh.

So another week passes us by in this ‘groundhog day’ existence, but to break the mould, I am taking a few days off work next week to recharge the batteries, and you just never know I might get to photograph a few more new doors. Whatever you are up to, I wish you a great week.
