Collingwood, Ontario – Post Office, 1897
Is it weird to have aspirations of photographing a series of doors? Specifically, post office doors? More specifically, old post office doors?
I’m guessing that Manja, who’s guest hosting Thursday Doors this week in Norm’s absence, won’t think it’s weird. She’s photographed more doors than I’ve actually seen in real life. At least a handful of them surely belong to old post offices?
Well, I think I only have one. Got to start somewhere.
Hihih, the truth is that I feel bad for any door that I pass but not capture. 😉 And I don’t think I would think anything involving doors weird. Thank you for this beauty, Vanessa!

It is not weird to photograph doors. It is a challenge to find interesting doors and then take a compelling photo. As far as I am concerned you have done both of those things successfully.

Well, thanks, indeed! Though interesting doors are among us everywhere, they are sometimes challenging to capture…

What a great goal and many of us “door people” will be enjoying what you share on your journey to capture old post office doors!
Or any other doors you find along the way!
And I this one here – the lower area worn away reminded me of the many feet that pushed it open there – perhaps?
Nice find and the fading blue paint is a nice hue

I know, I too was drawn to the weathered aspect of this door. These battle scars always imply some kind of story, don’t they?
Thanks for your visit 🙂

In my neck of the woods it seems that most heritage post offices have a grand and stately air… so I think it might be fun to visit them and create a series… perhaps I’m just feeling nostalgic 🙂

But it’s a door with character. We don’t worry about numbers of doors. 🙂
