How? Who? When? What? Why?

How? Who? When? What? Why?

I door I found in a back street in Istanbul.
I am fascinated by old buildings and doors.
How many people have passed through them?
Who passed through them?
When was that ?
What were they doing there and
Why ?
An amazing combination of worn wood and rusty metal.

    PETER! (slap) Pull yourself together man! It’s a door! A great looking door, but a door nonetheless! That’s what they do. They let all kinds of people in and out, and it looks like it’s been doing that since Adam was a boy. Now for heaven’s sake relax. Have a little sit down, and remember to breathe! Deep breaths in,......hold,.....and out again!
    Struth!! Just as well I happened along! :-/

    Nice capture. This intriguing old door does invite many questions about its past and the people who passed through it. Like your commentary very much too. Like you, I think old buildings and doors and windows are fascinating and all have their stories to tell.

    great door, Peter – I think there are some bullet holes in it and, oh, no, is that blood there spattered on the architrave? Maybe I should listen to Maggie too! what a great comment.
