It’s quite natural for toddlers to be fascinated by doors. They are inquisitive as to what is behind a door. They open cupboards and unpack them as if they were treasure chests. That’s how I still feel to this day. Every door is a treasure chest.
I love doors. They’re not just entryways; they’re stories waiting to be told. Every door holds secrets, mysteries, and emotions.
I’ve snapped pictures of doors all over Europe, Africa, and America. From city doors to cathedral doors, castle doors to palace doors, village doors – you name it, I’ve captured it! Sometimes I peek into half-opened doors, other times I stroll past, aware that each one has its own tale to tell. Doors brim with history, culture, and experiences. If only they could speak!
I’ve often pondered how to share the enchantment of doors beyond just photographs. That’s when it struck me: why not pair these captivating images with famous quotes about doors from various cultures around the globe? By combining the visual beauty of doors from different corners of the world with the timeless wisdom encapsulated in quotes, we can create a rich tapestry of insight and inspiration. Each image becomes not just a snapshot of a doorway, but a portal into a world of diverse perspectives and profound reflections on life’s journey.
