Doors of the World

    Doors. To most people, doors are viewed as rather mundane, everyday objects that serve a practical purpose. But in my recent travels, I've become somewhat smitten by doors as objects of art. I know, I know... "doors as objects of art"? But I'm serious. My fascination began during a visit to Tunisia. I had the opportunity to visit Sidi Bou Said, a picturesque blue and white village overlooking the Bay of Tunis. What caught my attention more than the scenery and the carpet and sounvenir shops was the doors. They were like works of art 'framed' by archways or door frames, accented by door knobs, rivets, paint. Doors have an air of mystery to them. What or who lives behind them? I guess that's what makes them 'artistic' to me. I will continue to add photos to this site... but should you have any you wish added, please drop me a note.
