Packing for a short holiday, so this is a very rushed archive selection of Street art/graffiti doors:

I’ll be on my jollyberries next week, so might not be posting Thursday Doors for a week or two – have a great break.
If you have made it this far, you probably like doors and you really ought to take a look at the Norm 2.0 blog – the originator of Thursday Doors where there are links to yet more doors in the comments section at the end.
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.

And now I revert to a few more archive street art doors from 2018 including rather a lot of shutter pieces:

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.

Doors 117 – back to the old graffiti doors from my archives
Wow, a really busy week for me with the rest of my team all away on their hols and only me to man the fort. So a quick rummage around in my archives it will have to be this week.
Dabuten Tronko, High Street, Bristol, July 2018John D’oh, North Street, Bristol, July 2018Nevergiveup, Moon Street, Bristol, June 2018Laic217, Moon Street, Bristol, August 2018Nol, Upfest, Bristol, July 2018Annatomix, Upfest, Bristol, July 2018qWeRT, Stokes Croft, Bristol, July 2018Andrew Burns Colwill, Westbury Hill, Bristol, August 2018
OK, so it’s not a door, but I figured that this trompe loeil window by Andrew Burns Colwill was worth including.

Another week gone in this crazy and unsettling time. In the UK we are due to have a few decent days of sunshine which always brings about a collective improvement in mood. May I wish you all a great week ahead.

Doors 116 – Some random Bristol doors from lock down walks
I have taken a day off work today and so am able to spend a little bit of time sorting out some new doors for you. This is a selection of doors from all around North Bristol from the long dog walks I took during the lock down days.
I am constantly reminded of what strange times we live in that we have developed a whole new language around the coronavirus epidemic, and that we will reference world history in terms of pre-Covid and post-Covid. I find it all very unsettling.
Anyhow – on to the doors. I hope you enjoy them.

So, that’ll be it for another week. I expect I’ll revert to my graffiti door archive next week, but we’ll have to wait and see. Take care wherever you are and have a great weekend.

I have been struggling to photograph new doors recently, I think that escaping the tiny area I have existed in during lock down has definitely contributed to this sorry state of affairs. I hoped all this might change with a short trip to Cornwall last weekend fishing with my son, but we didn’t visit any towns or villages, just fishing marks on the south coast.
The upshot… more archive street art doors, most never seen on Thursday doors before. Enjoy…

So, that’ll be it for another week. Take care wherever you are and have a fabulous weekend.

There is no end to my busy period, I rarely seem to have time to come up for air. I am writig this when I should be tucked up in bed. To make things easier for me until I get a bit of a break I have once again plundered my archives for some more street art/graffiti doors, first published in 2018. Enjoy…

Doors 113 – yep, you guessed it, some more archive street art doors.
I’ll not bore you with excuses. I’ve not had the time to photograph or prepare any new doors for you once again. I have had just about enough time to search out some I prepared earlier… much earlier – these ones first published in 2017/18:

Doors 112 – Back to some archive street/graffiti art doors
Another extraordinarily busy week for me, and limited time to pull together new doors, so it is another retrospective of street art doors (one or two of which have been seen before on Thursday doors) this week. Here goes, this selection were first published on Natural Adventures in 2017:
Skor85, Moon Street, Bristol, January 2017N4T4, North Street, Bristol, September 2015Banksy, Bristol Museum, Bristol, May 2014
This world famous Banksy piece called ‘mobile lovers’ was in the Bristol Museum for a short while before being returned to the Broad Plain Boys’ Club on whose door it had been painted. They sold the door to a private collector for £403,000 which alleviated the financial problems they were having. It was what Banksy had intended.

It should come as a rather refreshing change that this week’s doors are not from my street art archives, but doors I photographed during lock down on my walks with the dog. I know that the street art doors are popular, and will return to them in due course.
This week’s selection of doors are mainly from the Montpelier and St Werburghs area on what were sleepy streets back in March, but have now resumed almost normal levels of traffic.

So a little canter around the streets of Sy Werburghs an Montpelier in Bristol, I hope you enjoyed looking at the dors as much as I enjoyed finding and photographing the. That’s it for another week, so I hope you all keep well until next time.

Doors 110 – even more graffiti/street art doors (groan…)
I promise that I will get back to some ordinary doors soon, but I am rather enjoying my archive graffiti doors at the moment so might persist just for a couple more weeks if that is ok with you.
In my last Thursday doors post I think I had broken into 2017, so I will kick off there. Enjoy…
