Would you open this door and walk through?
I’m not sure I ever would. Even with that sign, I found it very uninviting and never found out what was on the other side of it.

That’s true. I wouldn’t either. There’s a peephole ? That one right there makes it very unwelcoming.

Is there? I don’t think I’d even peek through it or the letterbox.

I’d love to know what was on the other side even though it does look quite scary. I might go through if someone else was with me 😉

This is the kind of door that screams “musty!” at me. Inevitably, when you go through a door like this, there is a pervading smell of mustiness on the other side – an odour I can’t bear. Nice shot though – don’t mind being on THIS side of the door at all. 🙂
LikeLike
Oh, I dislike that smell as well. I think we are far better this side of the door.

Rather a nice door, I think, though definitely not terribly inviting. I speculate that the owner does have a sense of humour and/or appreciates irony, oxymorons, and such. Other than that, I thought it was maybe a bar or a naughty store! (?) If I had something important in there to do/see, I would go in. Otherwise, not having any information on it (or windows to look through, I guess), I might or might not go in.

From what I recall there were no windows giving anybody a clue as to what was inside, Leigh. Now I’m wondering if it was the new door to Doctor Who’s TARDIS?
