Puertas (Doors)

There are a lot of really great doors here in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. This is just the tip of the iceburg. Some of my favorites.
Below is a list of links to posts by other bloggers that are doing door posts today.
I look forward to visiting them and seeing what they have to share. Maybe it will be photos of doors, maybe art, maybe a poem. Who knows, but it will be fun to look. There are over forty bloggers participating. I count at least ten countries. I may have missed a few on this list as I have been very busy this week with my painting workshop. If I have left off your name, I am sorry. There may be a few names listed on"The House in Marrakesh"that are not listed here.
Thanks to everyone for sharing Doors, and thanks for looking.




This is one of my favorites. The photo is from my first trip to San Miguel in 1985 with RISD. This was the front door at a glass factory. It is now a very large business and this door is gone. I love the color, shape of the door, and that white hand print.




This door is probably the most photographed door in town. I left the image large. Click on it and you can scroll around to see the details.




There are lots of old doors like this all over town.




This door is on a large antique shop near our house.




Here is a door and a half. I wonder who goes in the little door.




Another beautiful old door near my gallery.




This guy fixes locks and electric windows in doors.
Nice sign.
You can tell what he does even if you can't read Spanish.




Another nice old door with character.




These look more Moroccan than Mexican to me. These are just off the main square.


Thanks for looking. Please visit some of these other bloggers that are joining in on this group post of Doors of the World.
