Travel theme: Doorways

I am always looking for interesting doors when I travel.  For this theme I’m focusing on some of the doors that I admired in Orvieto, Italy.  There were so many different types of doors that I decided to take these pictures so I wouldn’t forget them.  Sometimes doors seem to tell a story and with a little imagination that story can become quite dramatic.  As you can see some are simple, some are decorative and I’ve included one that was important to me because it was the door to a gelato shop which is a favorite destination of mine while I’m in Italy!

Weekly Photo Challenge: Object

I was in Orvieto, Italy looking at the many colorful sights when I saw this bicycle leaning against the wall.  It blended well with the scene and even seemed like a decorative object.

There are more examples here.

Travel Theme: On Display

When I was in Italy earlier this year one of the places I visited was Orvieto.  I saw many charming displays and thought of them for the theme of Where’s my backpack? this week.  These are what I call souvenirs!
