Discussion for October's Theme (Doors) (page 3 of 4)

First time I’ve managed to log in to the discussion since the start of the month 😕. Usually, I just get a spinning wheel forever...

I’ve got loads of doors in my photo library too. Let’s start with the "Gate of Paradise"—that’s what Michelangelo nicknamed the eastern door of Florence’s Baptistery, sculpted by the goldsmith Lorenzo Ghiberti. This is the original, displayed in the stunning Museo dell’Opera del Duomo.



I’ve got Balinese doors, often well-guarded







Venetian doors





Portuguese ones





Dutch ones





And that’s the 10-photo limit per post reached—but I’ve still got tons of photos from India, Italy, and elsewhere. I only picked real doors that close, not arches, which I see more as passageways—otherwise, I’d have way too many!

Since I’m finally able to post today, I’m going to flood VF with these! Here are some Spanish doors





A Swiss door



Some Indian doors













I’ve hit the 10-image limit again. Oh well, guess my Bolognese-style photos will have to wait!

I almost posted a photo of Bernard Laporte but I didn't dare 😎

Should’ve, that would’ve been funny!

So many (beautiful and varied) door photos! I thought I took a lot of them, but I'm totally outdone! 😏

Hi Noëlle,

This photo would be perfect for the contest! I really love it 🙂

Indian doors

I can't seem to post in the discussion where we share the contest photos... Question: Is my photo of a door with the Indian guard off-topic? I thought we were supposed to post photos without people. If it's acceptable, I'll post it in the contest because the door is beautiful and the guard isn't bad either... New bug—I can't attach the photo (Oops...attached file...), you should find it above!

I think you missed my post where I was just talking about your photo with the Indian guard ;) (right before your last message)

The door is there, with or without a person 😉 It’s true that the photo is really beautiful 🙂. There are a lot of bugs on VF right now—I’ve noticed... yesterday I couldn’t upload photos, and a few days ago I couldn’t access the contest either (no matter what I did, I kept getting redirected back to the discussion). There’s still time before the contest ends, so we can always hope 🤞—but it’s pretty annoying having to retry things over and over just to get what you want.

The new site managers mentioned they were struggling to find someone with skills on par with François Boucher. On top of that, they now have two sites to manage.

So who are the new moderators? And what’s the other site? (I’ll admit I don’t even know where to find that info.)

It's Myatlas.com

Here's a link to a less frequented section: https://voyageforum.com/forum/bugs-voyage-forum-d10777957/

I had followed this discussion at the very beginning, but then it slipped my mind 😇From what I gather, they're looking for solutions....

Hello

I almost posted a photo of Bernard Laporte but I didn’t dare 😎

You could’ve thought of

Christophe Laporte

or

Thomas Portes

While the first one is nice, the second one is a real turn-off 🏴‍☠️

But let’s stay focused on the theme and avoid homonyms

The restrooms were locked from the outside. China

Other Moroccan doors:



The door to paradise? (Italy)

Copycat! 😉



And here’s the front door:

Still haven't managed to access the contest page?
