Weekly Photo Challenge: The Red Door

August 24, 2012 · by Kat Casey · in art, Photography

I passed by a fenced in alley (part of the fence was torn) and I was drawn in by the red door. I fell in love with that window and that door, hidden behind boxes and bags of trash. The setting seemed to pop out of a book, a door that could lead to some magical place that has been forgotten over the years. There is a story here.

One of my favorite projects: “I Wonder As I Wander”… and you have an excellent example of that here. It is neat to have a little mystery as we walk by. And the adventure of the unknown is definitely a part of the urban landscape. Well done!

That is a cluttered corridor with the red door at the end of it.

  Thanks! It’s strange though, I think if the door wasn’t painted red, I probably wouldn’t have even noticed it.

I admire the courage and honesty. A lot of us only wants to see the beautiful and the tidy stuff but there is this past that is also there. Every human even has it in his life and past. Great post!

  Thank you! I think the same way. And I am actually really interested in the history behind that alley and its red door. It seems out of place but in the right place at the same time.

Nicely seen and captured. Makes me wonder, what lies beyond the door, when was it last opened, where would it lead me?

There’s a story everywhere. They just have to “pop out” to the right person.

Nice. I often find beauty when I push the trash out of the way
