Hi Patricia,beautiful door.Gorgeous color and lighting!!! #8624453Mitch Spence May 20, 2010
What a wall of textures here, Patti, with great framing of the whole. Love the fact that the blue doors are slightly ajar. #8624479Steve M. Harrington May 20, 2010
An outstanding use of texture to create an intriguing feel, Patti! I want to enter that door.Patti Coblentz May 20, 2010
Hi..thank you for all of your nice comments!No, Steve, I don't think you would want to. It was an abandoned building in a rather run down area of Peru...who knows what goes on in there.

I'm with Steve...or would be if we both could hop a plane and do some exploring in #894 of the blue ajar door fame...!
