Doors which sing to me

I hear lyrical voices


Beckoning me down narrow stone pathways



Framed by gelato walls and garden escapees



Onwards, past fatigued stucco and crazed render



Alongside ancient portals and marbled balconies



Inviting me...



...to step into their world



Of leaning façades, Venetian lights and shades of yesterday

  3. Oh, I too, love doors -- and windows -- they evoke such fantasies of the imagination: who lives there, who lived there. . .the stories the doors and windows could tell.

    1. Thank you Jackie - I have always had a soft spot for Greek doors and windows - as you can probably tell. Did you photograph many on your trip? Would love to see them! F x
