A Passageway to the Past--The Doors of Santa Fe 1
And so the series begins, The Doors of Santa Fe
I simply loved New Mexico and the city of Santa Fe is of no exception…..around every curve and corner, there were photo-opps and one thing that really caught my eye was how the Adobe architecture had all these really old doors….crafted 100s of years ago. The doors, while not always straight and often far from it, provided a nice contrast in color, design, and history to the buildings they often adorned.
Thoughts most welcomed!

I can see how you got carried away. I love the way the shot is not just the door, but captures the number of the house so well too – It really adds to the character of the building.
The textures of the wall compliment this old door perfectly. Love the jailhouse effect of the grates

I have only been once but I loved it in downtown sante fe along the art district part. It has some major charm.

John, I live about 45 minutes from Santa Fe and you have discovered one of my favorites – SouthWest doors and gates. Santa Fe and Taos have so many great ones to offer or should I say discover.
