Thursday doors #48
Happy New Year! Today I’m featuring doors from a short autumnal business trip to Milan. Many of these doors are to be found along key roads leading to Milan’s Old Town. Sadly many fine examples were partially hidden by parked cars and, even worse, vans!
A lot of these doors are quite sizeable, meaning they were best photographed from the middle of the road. Yes, I’ve been risking life and limb to complete Norm’s Challenge!
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favourite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing your link in the comments’ on Norm’s site, anytime between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American Eastern Time).
I already wrote that you inspired me through this door. These are small works of art not only wooden, but metalwork.
Greetings

Risking your life for a photo is exactly something I’d do, especially if it means keeping ugly vehicles from creeping into the shot.

Kudos to you, they are wonderful. I’m far from such lovely examples, and can no longer drive, or I’d be out looking too 🙂

Happy New Year, I myself been to Milan (long time ago), beautiful place. Specially the “central square” that had all the Bovedas( that was spanish), and the beautiful stores. Also the history.
Point being, Happy new year and glad you had a great time.

Wow, these are wonderful doors Sheree! I have looked around our town but only found a couple of old doors. All of our other old buildings have upgraded to new doors. So sad. I really enjoy looking at all these old doors you feature each week though!😁😸

Love those doors 🙂 One of my quests when I go to Europe is door photos. Some people have no respect for those of us who travel thousands of Kilometers only to find that perfect door blocked van and stuff even the people who live behind that door parking their car in my way 😀 😀

Honestly the door with the golden bottom looks like it leads to another world, not something mundane like a bank.

Banks often have simply splendid doors, no doubt an attempt to reassure customers.
