Do Sandcastles Have Doors? #ThursdayDoors #Photography

Thursday Doors is a photography challenge hosted by Dan Antion, who blogs at No Facilities.

The whole Thursday Doors thing is about sharing pictures of doors that catch your eye. Loads of bloggers get involved each week and give a shout-out to Dan’s post. Dan also encourages everyone to check out each other’s door pictures and drop a comment.

I’ve participated in Thursday Doors in the past. It’s great fun, and although there is no pressure to participate every week, you’ll find Dan has built up a great Thursday Doors community.

Here’s my second entry for 2024.

Is this the door to inside the sandcastle?

What do you think? I wonder if this door is the opening into the sandcastle. But what do those strange symbols on the door mean? Maybe they say, ‘Do not enter.’ Or, worse, they could invite danger, saying, ‘Come on in.’ Would you step through?

Check out this week’s Thursday Doors over on Dan’s Blog.

  1. Often when I’m on holiday, I take photographs of ornate and interesting doors on old buildings, wondering about the stories those doors could tell or the secrets they hold.

    1. Just think of all those who have walked through those doors, Kevin. But I think the person who first walked through that door would be the most interesting. Who were they, and what happened to them after walking through?

  2. Well this is a case of where brilliant minds think a like. I just made a post about songs with door in the title. I think it would be like Alice in Wonderland to enter a door leading into a sandcastle,

    1. I agree. Thursday Doors is a popular photography challenge that has been going on since I started blogging (over 10 years ago). There is also a band called The Doors.

  3. The first photo is an interesting photo Hugh. I like the colors. I see what appears to be a 4 on the door. Maybe it symbolizes someone’s 40th birthday party in secret code? Or maybe it’s more sinister and warns the one who enters that they have 40 seconds until something scary happens (cue eerie music.) :-)

    The second photo is pretty. It looks like a nice place to rest.

    1. I like your sinister theory, Lea. But even 40th birthdays can be scary,

      The second photo isn’t mine. It belongs to Dan, who hosts this challenge. It is the featured ‘Thursday Doors’ image for the challenge. It was created by someone in the Thursday Doors community.

  4. I’d step in the sandcastle, Hugh. The other door…? Let’s just say I like the fact that it opens outward. Maybe I can get a look around while I can still run.
