Something about "Doors" fascinate me. I photograph them. We open and close them like chapters in a book and life.
If opportunity doesn't knock, build a door by Milton Berle
I build many, as much as I knocked them down again.
Today's entries are dedicated to the talented Indonesian artisans and @onartbali with a few random images I found on my phone.
You could also read one of my first articles from 2016 about a very passionate man whose collection I admire more than you can imagine.
Meet Pak Wayan, The "Unknown" Balinese ICON, How A Tour Driver became an Art Collector of Indonesian Treasures
You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone. Close the door on the past. You don't try to forget the mistakes, but you don't dwell on it. You don't let it have any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your space - Johnny Cash
My favourite words are possibilities, opportunities and curiosity. I think if you are curious, you create opportunities, and then if you open the doors, you create possibilities. - Mario Testino
I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors. Joel Osteen
This is a true masterpiece!

I wish I could create my articles again through my laptop but I am in nerve pain when I sit too long on the computer 😭 Thanks for your never ending great feedback.

Nerve pain my God :o Please take care mamma. Take more calcium & Vitamin D.
Sitting long on chair while working on PC also cause pain in Spinal cord. Never stay in same position for longtime, keep changing :)
& most important try some joint & muscles stretching exercise. Easiest is Yoga O:)
Skipping would also be great. Consult doctor for some supplement to make your muscles around the joints stronger. You can do it mamma. Vampy believe in you ^,...,^

I also started being fascinated about random things.
After a 10 months straight working with no breaks, I have been on a 10 day road trip around Egypt wondering around with my camera all day :)

The interesting thing about doors is that they can be both literal and figurative. They are inescapable parts of most everyone's life. They can be plain or beautiful. Is it any wonder why so many photographers take pictures of doors?
I'm really sorry to hear that you are suffering mammasitta. I hope it is resolved soon.

I do not know where do you find all those amazing doors guys. I can not enter this contest this week as i never saw it as a subject of interest, and how much did i miss it seems. But now i know that this topic can be interesting :)

The company I work for works closely with an Amish door manufacturer and they share your sentiments. The combination of beautiful customized doors they produce by hand is mind blowing.
Just as a door can change the entire look and feel of a house, it can symbolize change in our lives and remind us to close the door on the past/open the door for the future. Great post!

That's really interesting. Since I lived in Indonesia, I changed my awareness about the importance to choose the right door for your home and learnt a lot about the symbolic meaning of doors. The last one is a grave door. I I could write a more detailed history and explanation about those I posted but I can't sit that long on my computer due to a painful nerve infection. It's hard to create articles on my phone 🙀😩
Thanks for stopping by.

Do you currently live in Indonesia?
Oh no... I hope you're feeling better soon! I'd love to hear more about the grave door when you're feeling better.

I had to move to Vienna for now, taking care of my mother. I follow the flow :) never know where the wind takes me next. I lived in Bali for over 16 years and the island fever got me too often 😳

Cool collection :) my fav are the scruffy blue ones.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I would t know which one is my favourite but for sure the scruffy blue one is the least valuable one, meaning in the sense of money. I found it down the street where I lived on a messy land. I love that shot as well :) All others are master pieces of various Indonesian artisans and collector pieces. It's hard to find those kind of woodcarvers in these days.

The least valuable, but draws the attention. I just like those scruffy paint.
I like the others too - wonderful work! But the blue somehow feels cozy.

It is very symbolic, the doors on your photos, according to one expression, say that you will knock and you will be opened :) Thanks @mammasitta

@mammasitta,
Absolutely brilliant photography and what a great art is there :O That's amazing! The creatures in the first image is a hybrid of lion, dragon, wild bow and few other species. They are guarding doors of temples! In my country we can find them on temples as well!
Thanks for sharing such wonderful photography with us!
