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.
The badge contest ended in a tie, so I will be altering the badge I use here, but you are welcome to use either of the winning badges.
We stayed close to Ames, my brother’s home town, while in Iowa, and most of the doors are ones I’ve shared before. I snapped a few doors as we were running errands and heading out to eat. I also took a few during our visit to see Stink Floyd.
Before I share the gallery, I’d like to give you an update on the Thursday Doors Writing Challenge (TDWC). Saturday will be the last day for entries (but I won’t really check until Sunday morning, wink wink). As of the preparation of this post, we have 60 entries, which exceeds last year’s count by a decent amount. 60 entries, and we aren’t done! I will remind you that I have read every one of these entries, and I am impressed!
So, here are some things you can do: 1) Visit the TDWC page, pick a door and create something wonderful. 2) Visit the TDWC page and read a few entries. 3) Check out the gallery below. 4) Follow some of the links in the comment section and see some beautiful doors from around the world.
Whatever choice you make, I assure you, you will enjoy the results.
