[Photo Challenge]

The topic this month is: "Door".

This thread is only for posting your entries and any comments you'd like to make about your own photo.
If you would like to comment on other entries please use the comments thread.
As usual, one entry per person and the image must be your own work.
Normal forum rules and image size applies.

The image doesn't necessarily have to have been taken this month but we do encourage you to go out and enjoy the challenge.

The winner of the poll, which will be run at the end of the month, will get to choose next month's topic.

Good luck and good shooting.

OK, I'll kick it off.

This is a shot I took in Sofala in November last year.

When I first got my camera this was one of the shots I took to see its dark room capability. Cant find the original pic so I took this one last night.

Plane Door - I wonder what OH&S would say...?

We took my daughters wedding to England in 2009 and I loved showing her Australian Husband of one week, around Canterbury and some other historic sites.

I'm not sure if the pavement has been lifted over the centuries but it would have been hard to enter this building even by fit people!

We had arrived in the west Cambodian town of Battambang on a hot
afternoon, having traveled by boat across the rolling seas of
Tonlé Sap Lake and then up the tranquil waters of the Stung Sanker River.

The journey had taken most of the day and we had passed by floating villages
and traveled down narrow channels through thick jungles of reeds that at
times stretched to the horizon.

Battambang has the legacy of having many colonial buildings from the
days of the French Indochina empire and when I spotted this scene of a
loading dock door on the side of a decaying building, with its palette of
mottled colors like that of a French impressionist painting, it struck
me as a thing of beauty.

Some doors are harder to get to than others. After battling a blizzard that day we skiied to the hut only to find it buried. Luckily a shovel is kept under the eaves just for that eventuality. This is me digging steps down to the door (photo taken with my camera).

Well a last day entry and I believe a real Aussie door.
Snapped this one while up bush at the Mother Inlaws place a little while back.

It's tough when you gotta lock up your fire wood.

Weighed up the images I had and decided that this is the one I like best.

I had thought of the effect that I wanted to capture and this came pretty close... even better colours than I imagined. Hope you enjoy.
