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.
I mentioned last week that it was too hot the day when I was in New York City to do any sightseeing. I had planned to walk around the midtown area for a while, but I only made it a few blocks. At 8:30 a.m. it was already too hot and humid. I did make an attempt, I walked under 8th Avenue to check out the Penn Station terminal—I heard it had been renovated after the new train hall opened.
The Moynihan Train Hall was created inside what was New York City’s main Post Office. The transformation took several years but the results are magnificent. Penn Station was drab, and the lower level was dingy. The renovations there have also produced magnificent results. Once through Penn Station, I exited on 7th Avenue. I walked north, crossing a few streets and then crossed back to 8th Avenue and the cool environment inside the station.
The photos in the gallery mostly have doors or openings to other spaces. I like them. I’ve mentioned before, but it’s worth mentioning again that not every picture our pots has to have a door in it. The Moynihan Train Hall itself is a portal. From that train hall, you can catch a train to almost anywhere in the United States—anywhere you can go by train. Unfortunately, train service in the US is far less extensive than other countries.
I hope you enjoy the gallery, and I hope you have a chance to visit the links and pingbacks left by the other participants. If you run out of time today, look for the recap on Sunday which will include a table of links to every post.

I am rerunning the original trailer for Poetic Justice in case you aren’t aware of what this book is about (I know, practically impossible for regular readers, but still).
