No, not The Doors of Jim Morrison fame. Doors such as these:
Sanotorini, Greece
Both this week an next we’ll be discussing some of the most neglected yet interesting photographic subjects around — doors, windows, and rooftops. Additionally, Fun Photo Friday this week and next will feature some of my favorite photographs of these often ignored architectural details.
The Island of Ibiza
When traveling to colorful, rustic locations with lots of history what better way to tell the story of your travels than through architecture? I contend that there simply isn’t one.
Lisbon Rooftops
Anybody with a camera can take a picture of a skyline, but it takes the eye of an artist to zero in on the unexpected and to get the most out of some small detail that may be overlooked by most other tourists.
Malta
But you have to be focused on detail rather than taken in by panorama. By now regular visitors to this blog know that I’m big on thinking outside the box when it comes to photographic compositions. Anyone can snap a shot of the Eiffel Tower, but it takes mental imaging and imagination to focus on just one particular section of some landmark that presents both a unique perspective while preserving the flavor, essence, and recognition factor of that particular landmark. Take Santorini, Greece, as an example. Anyone can take a picture of the blue domes of Santorini, but how many tourists come back with shots such as the following one?
Sanotorini, Greece
Here are a few more examples of focusing on detail rather than trying to take in the clichéd wide view (as always, just click on an image below to bring up a slideshow of the enlarged images):

Doug, these are gorgeous doors, rooftops and windows. Very interesting. You have an eye! 😉 I gave Derrick, my nephew, your blog site. He appreciated your comment on his train track photo.
Thanks, Linda.
As for your nephew, he has quite the photographer’s eye as well. I absolutely loved that shot.
Like your windows and doors shots. Makes me want to go paint my front door. Never mind that I live in an apartment building.
On a more serious note, I followed last week’s offering with care and interest.
