A philosophic Aussie writes here at StPA, one who will readily admit to loving Scandinavia. I'm interested in global politics and what drives us to be who we are. Scratch the surface and you'll find a practical Environmentalist with an egalitarian bent, trying to unleash a little creativity via the written word.
Scandinavian culture, literature and traditions are close to my heart, even though I'm Australian. Travel and courteous discussions greatly broaden the mind, so I travel if I can and am always up for a vigorous, respectful discussion. I'm an avid reader, a writer and I enjoy photography and crafts, particularly traditional art forms. I hope you'll find 'Something to Ponder About,' in my WordPress Community.

That door is the historic Nidaros cathedral in Trondheim, Norway. I also loved the contrast of the red robes. Wonderful history in that door. Thanks for your comment, Desley jane

Good variety of doors! Age old to new as can come. Wonder if our new doors are going to last as those old doors still do.

Somehow I doubt it as some of these date from the 11th century!

Many doors are now made of veneered chip board and when water gets into it they swell up and rot. The lovely doors above tell a story. Modern doors just look bland but do function in shutting out or in, a space.

The doors of the modern age will wither and rot. They will no longer be around in 100 years and I guess that is not altogether bad. Yet I wonder what will doors be like in 100 years…some kind of polymer?

A beautiful collection of doors, Amanda. I love the wooden ones with the ornate carvings, but I also think the decorated one from the Netherlands is fabulous. Doors nowadays just ‘ain’t what they used ti be’!

I found this post myself by chance, not because you’d share it, just to avoid confusion. 🙂 The first photo is especially outstanding.
