As promised, here is a series of “still life” photos taken on our recent trip to Ireland. Wherever we travel, the colors, textures and geometric patterns found in doorways and building facades seem to characterize the aesthetic culture of a place. I love how bold paint hues contrast with whitewash and stone in Ireland. The following pictures are from Clifden, the island of Inishbofin and Galway. Can’t help taking pictures of doorways… St Remy, France

More photographs from last fall’s trip to France. My heart goes out to the French people this week, after the shocking attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Ecluse de Renneville, France Marsielle, France Toulouse, France Carcassone, France Les Baux-du-Provence, France Bram, France La Redorte, France

Let’s go back to our recent trip to southern France. Among the gazillion pictures Rob and I took of doors and windows, there are more than a few which feature trained leaf vines and other plants. It was so odd to see vegetation growing out of the pavement, with no dirt in sight. I love the way a bit of greenery frames and softens the straight angles on the buildings. Carcassonne, France Mille Petit, France Argen, France Marseilles, France Through open doorways, we caught a slight glimpse of the life within Havana’s deteriorating buildings. If you’ve been following this blog for a while, you will have noticed that I have a thing for doorways. Some of these Woods Hole houses have been shown before, but in other seasons. I took these photos after last weekend’s snow storm. The summer houses were undisturbed, but the year ’round ones had shoveled paths.  Enjoy! Here’s some more photos from the streets of Santiago. My attraction to doorways continues…
