Thursday Doors – June 23, 2016

Would you open this door and walk through?

Thursday Doors - June 23, 2016

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.

I’d go in if I had a good torch with a good bright beam, and if it was daylight (the torch for the interior behind the door, the daylight for my nerves!!

  Sounds like the perfect plan, Val. I dare not go in even though it was broad daylight.

well I rather agree with you Hugh – at first I saw the nice wood – but after reading what you wrote…. well – um….

  Good for you. I’ll wait out here and see you when you come back out. That is if you can find your way back out 😱

    Hehe – I don’t know why, it looks more intriguing than scary to me. I bet I find treasure behind that door 👑 I’ll be sure to share it with you though!

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?

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. 🙂

  Oh, I dislike that smell as well. I think we are far better this side of the door.

Great looking door, Hugh, but if it were to lead to a basement or cellar then no way would I go through it! Those places give me the creeps! 🙂

I’d open it…I might not cross the threshold but, I’d open it. Mind you, in my head The Eagle’s would be playin’ Welcome to Hotel California. Emphasis on the lines, ” You can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave.” 🙂

It’s a great carved and weathered door though. Intriguing door this week!
