July 11, 2007 HDR Thriller Slideshow - Revisiting the July 1 Search

In my July 1, 2007 post , I used the search word "Door". I found so many terrific shots of doors that I thought I would post a slideshow of the best doors I reviewed that day to give you a taste of what I had to select from. It wasn't easy. In the end the unique perspective of that July 1 shot won out because it fit the moment and meaning of the day, but as you'll see in this slideshow there were many great shots. The last one being my favorite. Anyway, here's the link to the show...

July 1, 2007 HDR Thriller (door)

Little Red Door. Originally uploaded by Кafka. Click on pic, see it in Flickr.

This door popped up in the search, and it seems to loom in the distance, yet it is also strangely welcoming. It helps to remind me that a door is an entrance as much as an exit. A MUST SEE IN LARGE which really hits you with the unique perspective of this shot. Try as I might, I find I cannot take my eye off the door.

The Lockless Door

It went many years,

But at last came a knock,

And I thought of the door

With no lock to lock.

-

I blew out the light,

I tip-toed the floor,

And raised both hands

In prayer to the door.

-

But the knock came again

My window was wide;

I climbed on the sill

And descended outside.

-

Back over the sill

I bade a "Come in"

To whoever the knock

At the door may have been.

-

So at a knock

I emptied my cage

To hide in the world

And alter with age.
