Knockin on Heaven's Door

                Well folks, it is time for me to reveal this week’s theme. I know the week is over and I should have told you sooner. Nothing like waiting until the last minute right? No matter how old I get, I think I will always be a procrastinator when it comes to certain things. It looks like this blog is one of those things. Anyway, where was I? Oh, right; this week’s theme. The theme this week was one that has come up more than once as a voting option. A few people picked it, but there was always something better in the mix. This week, I suppose, it was the best of the bunch. And so, this week our theme was doors. Now I know what you are thinking; that doesn’t seem like a very interesting theme. When it was first proposed, I would have said I agree. Even this week when it was chosen, I was a little skeptical. Yet as usual, I was pleasantly surprised by this theme. The pictures some of the ladies found were great. Even some of my pictures were pretty good. My initial problem was that I just wasn’t thinking enough outside the box. I mean doors aren’t anything special. Every house, apartment, car, and building in America has at least one. You walk by a row of houses and often times the doors are similar. Even in New York, walking down a block many times the houses/apartments and doors are all the same. A door in a building may have an aesthetic role as well as a practical one. It can separate rooms or provide privacy. Practically, a door can keep in or out noise, block off or contain a fire, or keep a person in or out of an area. There are also symbolic uses for doors. Giving a person a key to your residence is considered a forward progression of a relationship. Doors can symbolize opportunity as well. There are multiple sayings that demonstrate this idea such as “when one door closes another door opens”, or “opportunity knocks”. In the world of music, there is a band called the Doors, the song “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door”, or even the song “Let My Love Open the Door”. I found some good pictures this week. For example I found doors leading to Heaven, fantastical doors, doors from different countries, and more. I even personally took some pictures of interesting doors in my neighborhood. And so, without further ado, I shall show you some of the cool doors I found this week. Enjoy and stay tuned for this coming week’s themes.
