Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you’d like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.
When our daughter and I visited Pittsburgh in March, we were surprised and pleased to see the Titanic Exhibit in its last week at the Carnegie Science Center. We love visiting the Science Center, but the exhibit was a nice bonus.
The exhibit winds through the design and construction of the great ship and the lives of some of the people on board. Our tickets were made out in the name of an actual passenger, and at the end of the tour, we could look up the name—Faith’s passenger survived. Mine did not.
One feature in the exhibit was a gigantic block of ice. You could touch it and get a sense of what an iceberg might be like. Other features were artifacts that were recovered from the shipwreck. We were okay with the ship’s artifacts, but we found the limited number of personal artifacts a bit disturbing. They did add some context to the passengers highlighted in the exhibit, but it seemed like an invasion of sorts.
Of course, the sense of mankind asserting his triumph over nature and the sea, only to fail was inescapable.
I need to add a few notes:
One, I have some appointments this morning, so I may be late getting to your doors.
Two, we now have over ten entries for the Thursday Doors Writing Challenge. I’ve read them all, and they are quite good.
Three, despite the excitement about the TDWC, this is a regular Thursday, and people from all over the world have contributed doors. Please take a few minutes to check them out. As always, I will gather all the links into an easy-to-access table for a recap on Sunday.
Four, back to the TDWC, there are still three weeks for you to contribute to the challenge. You can write anything you like, as long as it’s inspired by one of the thirty-three photos that have been submitted.
That’s it. I hope you enjoy the gallery.
All five of my current books are now available in audio book form thanks to Amazon KDP’s Virtual Voice process. The voice is AI generated, but I can honestly say, it’s pretty darn good. The audio books are reasonably priced (all below $7 US) and, if you already own the Kindle version and want to add an audio version, you can do that for $1.99. There is a five-minute sample on the book page for each book. If you’re interested, click on any of the Dreamer’s Alliance book links below the image or on the link below for my latest book.
