    I am overwhelmed when I think of the history and the stories behind these places you visit Phil – another (almost moving) great shot.

  • Philip Golan replied

    Thanks a lot Rosalie. I plan to return there again soon. There is so much to share.

    G’day Philip!
    Are the secrets within the room, with the door leading to freedom – or do they lie on the other side? Is there a key to the door, or can anyone leave or enter with a simple turn of the handle?
    All these answers and more, on the other side of your intriguing door! Excellent work!

    Thanks very much George. The church has many alcoves and little doors and corners that lead off to all sorts of mysterious places, and as to their accessibility, I don’t know. None of these doors were used while I was there, so one can assume that they contain chapels and may be used for mass.

    I see the image of a person with the door as thier body. I wonder if it was made that way? Good shot, I love old doors.

  • Philip Golan replied

    Interesting Eric. I hadn’t noticed.
    Thanks for pointing that out and for your comments.

    Great shot, Phil. Is that the same door as you posted before….....just different shot of it? It is so small. If pictures could only talk!

  • Philip Golan replied

    Hi Sue.
    No, this isn’t the same door, and I think I still have another one from this set that I haven’t processed yet.

    Wonderful to be able to see all these historic places.
    Looking at the state of the door, many people must have passed there

  • Philip Golan replied

    If I am not mistaken, this door may lead to the Greek Chapel or to a room adjacent to the Armenian Shrine. Next time, I’ll do a proper survey.
    Thanks for your comments Gilberte.

    Hi Rosalie.
    When I looked at your message, and then to the featured list in my menu, I found nothing, until I started scrolling through the menu and found it under the “people favoriting my work”.
    Wow. What an honour being called to the top floor.

    This is a wondrful old door, love the patina on the wall surounding it, I would love to open it and take a look inside.

  • Philip Golan replied

    It does draw you to it, leaving you wondering what is on the other side.
