Doorways of Paris

Besides being enamored with the artistic craftsmanship and attention to detail in the architecture of the buildings all over Paris, I seem to have a particular fascination with the uniquely beautiful doorways,

Their size alone gives me pause...

Having me in the photo gives you a better visual perspective of the actual size.

You will need to click on the photos to see the intricate carvings and details.

I believe part of the attraction I feel for these beauties is the symbolic nature of doorways,

that, and my innately curious mind...

To open them and pass through takes courage and a willingness for change in your life.

They may be seen as gateways to another world,

with mysteries that lie on the other side,

and the potential for all kinds of fun new opportunities...
