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.
I mentioned in an earlier post that my brother and I left Pittsburgh one day to visit Geneva on the Lake, Ohio, a little resort community we used to take our grandparents each summer. We wanted to drive up close to the old route our mother used to take before Interstate 79 was built. To accomplish that and still take advantage of GPS, we had to add a few way points to force the GPS to put us on certain roads.
One of the way points was New Brighton, Pennsylvania. To set the way point, I just clicked on the map, but Google set the destination to some specific location in town. We detoured into town to avoid having the GPS keep trying to take us back to the place we skipped. Some of the doors are from the town, some are from towns on either side of it. My brother was driving, so I was snapping pictures of interesting doors. I don’t know anything about them, other than I liked what I saw. I hope you do, too.
I also hope you’ll take some time to check out the doors being offered by others this week. And, as I’ve been saying or the past few weeks, it may take me a while to get to your post, or your comments on this post. I’m still taking advantage of this mild weather to get some winter prep work done.
The featured image doesn’t have a clear picture of a door, but it has a bridge, and I like them, too. That bridge crosses the Beaver River in the area of Pennsylvania known as Beaver Valley.
One additional note: I have always used Adobe Lightroom to prepare the photos for my blog posts. It allows me to make some minor changes to the image (things I could do in camera, if I knew what I was doing). It also lets me easily crop the photos to a consistent size for the gallery, add the watermark and export a reduced size image so I don’t run out of space on WordPress. Adobe recently added a Removal tool, which I used to remove vehicles from three photos in today’s gallery. One sharp-eyed reader discovered the downside of using such a tool.

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.
