“We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”Walt Disney
Hi my name is Debbie and I have a door “thing”.
I was going through pictures from a recent European trip and kept noticing all the pictures I took of doors! Yes doors!
I’ve never realized I have a fixation on doors but the evidence was staring me in the face – picture after picture of doors.
I had pictures church doors like this one at St. Stephans Church in Mainz Germany,
Crazy kaleidoscope doors I found while strolling the streets and alleys of Freiburg Germany,
Dramatic doors I marveled at in Rostock Germany,
Splendid portals leading to Efurt Germany’s Wedding House (wouldn’t it be wonderful getting married here?),
and Doors that look small and lonely like this one I found in Salzburg Austria.
I know I have a problem because I have so many more picture of doors to share with you! But they say admitting the addiction is the first step to healing, right?
And now that you know the truth, please don’t judge me because I don’t think I’m the only one with strange addictions like this.
What subjects do you have a “thing” for?
These pictures are part of Travel Photo Thursday!
For more great pictures,make sure to check out Budget Travelers Sandbox.
Maybe I’ll see you there!

Doors are indeed fascinating in foreign countries. My friend visited Sweden and showed me her photos of Stockholm… all doors… “It was cheaper than visiting the museums” she told me!
The second door is very psychedelic

I can’t get over the size of some of the doors you see here, and how elaborate they are. That door from Freiburg is simply amazing!
I find the doors in the old buildings in Europe to be huge and very impressive!
I love posts like this: doors, windows, statues, etc. So much fun to look at all the different styles! Wonderful photos too my friend! I think my fave is Efurt Germany’s Wedding House. Fabulous colors and so German!

Those doors have such unique designs. The crazy kaleidoscope door is my fave

That kaleidoscope door is my favorite. I seem to have a thing for taking pictures of funny toilet signs. I’m sure that this embarrasses my mom whenever I post them.

Funny toilet signs! Now that is a first. Have shared them? I’d love to see some
Some striking examples, Debbie. I have one or two in the collection too.

If you find a support group for door addictions, let me know!
Great pics — I’m compelled to take pics of doors, too. I also take a lot of pics of staircases! I’ll have to post those sometime.

Yes, its looking like I need to start that support group
I’d love to see your staircases!
These are all great. i particularly like the one in Frieburg. Windows and doors always call out to me when I have a camera in my hand.

I really love this picture too! Freiburg has some great doors and windows!
I love doors too – and stairs. Great shots!

Stairs, I never thought of stairs. I’ll have to start taking notice of these too!
Watch out – A new addiction could be forming!

I think you’re right, Cindy!
Our “thing” is ruins. Excellent images of doors!

I love seeing ruins in person but for some reason my pictures don’t seem to come out that great. Something I need to work on!
I have a ton of pictures of doors too, but my children are often standing in front of them. It just seems like a great place for a picture!
Seriously though, my husband is a contractor so I always notice doors…and windows. I ALWAYS notice the windows. I love the arches!

I have to admit, I do have quite a few pictures of windows too! Arches are wonderful
I love taking pictures of doors too, especially in Europe! In my TPT post now, I only have a couple of them because I thought of writing a separate post about the doors in Europe. Will do that much later

I saw the picture of your door and immediately loved it! I’ll look forward to seeing your collection of doors.
What charming doors. Great job! I also love them, but unfortunately, I’ve not collected pictures of them. A pity really.

What some wonderful doors. You’ve certainly picked some gorgeous and unusual ones. I love photographing doors, and window too come to that.

Like the rest here, I love door photos. I have a thing for windows and street art too. These are great doors! You sure know how to pick them! I love the Rostock Germany one – it looks like a castle entrance.

I’m not sure what the building was, but it wasn’t a castle. It must have been some type of government building because of all the coats of arms on the front.
I too love doors and have similar collections. . .of course I also have windows. I bet you do too!

I do have windows! Lots and lots of beautiful windows.
Sounds as though we’re all door addicts. I was wondering what to do with all my door photos apart from pinning them and everyone else’s! I’ll be adding yours to the Doorways board too , thanks Debbie!

Who would’ve thought we’d have a club of door addicts? I’ll have to look at the Doorways board.
I am a door addict as well. Maybe we should form a Door Freak Anonymous group. No. 2 is my favourite – so artistic.

Well as another door addict, I can recommend Freiburg. I can’t believe how many door pictures I have from that one town! I really liked this wild door too
I am getting into door photography too. I absolutely love the third one. so intricate and beautiful!

It’s so funny how many people take pictures of doors! I happened by the door in Rostock early one morning and the whole building was very beautiful and intriguing.
I love door photos – the more colourful and zanier the better. I like your Rostock door the best.
