Opening Doors, Love Train

Opening Doors ... This is the Key...

This is today's door.
It is trying to tell you yesterdays news.
I know that sounds absurd.
I'm just trying to say.
There's a new world, after all ...
There is.
The only way to open it,
is to find the power within yourself.
We all have that power.


The door to happiness.
Each door has a different key ...
You will be so amazed ...

Opening Doors, Love at First Sight

I really should not throw this on the Internet,
but it's my very special "coup de coeur" in la Provence in France.


This doorstep tells of many visitors.
I would love to open it too someday.
It's a house that has intrigued me from the first time I saw it.
And I'm usually not wrong about "at first sight" ...
Honest, I never was ...

Opening Doors!
Opening doors is my challenge to any of you out there,
to post a picture of a door. This challenge will run all week, Saturday included.
Only ONE simple rule:
It has to be your OWN picture, not the ones Mr Google provides, okay?
You can join in any time you want, there will be a new Mr Linky every day!
So please, show me your doors!
I'll show you mine! ;-)
You can even fit it in one post with another meme if you like!
Regular readers already know I'm great at multitasking!
Now, let's get on to business, I will be opening red doors today, of course!

Being born in Bruges, one of the prettiest cities in Belgium,
I just HAVE to share a door in Bruges.
Don't ask me where it is, or what the history of this house is,
I would not know, I just happened to see it when I visited Bruges.
That's right, visited Bruges. My family lives there, but I moved to Antwerp
a long time ago. When I go to Bruges, I'm there to visit my family.
And I never get to play the tourist, and take pictures like I do anywhere else.
But when my sisters and I invited our blog friend from Rotterdam, I could!!



This is a door, I used to open weekly, when I was little.
My grandmother used to take me there, every Sunday.
It's the Church of our Lady in Meetkerke.
As you can see, this door is open.
Last time I went there was with my parents to put new plants
on my grandmothers grave. While my father was busy doing that
I sneaked into the church and made some pictures.
I did a Weekly Winners with those pictures, it's here ...

Third and last ...
This one was serendipity.
It's somewhere in the region of Antwerp, I just happened to find it ...
I saw what Melli posted this morning,
and that made me think of this ruby door.
I have readers of all kinds of beliefs on this blog,
and I want to keep it that way.
But no matter what church or temple you visit,
for whatever reason you want to get inside ,
even if you just want to take pictures ...
Melli is right, the door should always be open ...
Seeing your pictures inspires me to do the next post.
So this is really becoming one door opening into another ...

Thanks for participating, I never would have imagined
such an overwhelming response!
Let's open some more doors, shall we?

Opening Doors, We're Open!

So here we go.
I hereby declare this new Photo Challenge open.
My doors are open to anyone who wants to participate.
There is only one rule that cannot be broken,
and that is that it has to be your own picture, or a picture with you in it.
Nicking from Mr Google is not allowed.
All I want is to see pictures of doors.
It can be a door, or a lock on a door, a detail on a door,
a big one or a small one, you take your pick!
Just use the logo and link back to me, okay?
Don't forget to sign the Mr Linky if you're participating,
and leave me a comment as well, I love comments.
I'm so excited about this!
A lot of people have already said they want to join in,
so I'm very curious to see what's going to be behind that door ...

My first picture is the one I used for the Opening Doors logo.
I used it, because I like the idea of one door opening to another one.
I made this picture earlier this year, when we took a guided tour
in Chateau de Renesse, a castle in a neighbouring village.

The next two pictures are in Antwerp, the Vlaeykensgang.
One of the oldest streets in Antwerp, that has been saved from demolition.
They wanted to turn this place into a parking lot.
Instead, it - or part of it- was bought by a notorious antique dealer,
who restored the old houses, and kept the sixteenth century spirit.
Strange, I thought I had already done a post on this street,
but I just can't seem to find it right now. If I find it later, I'll add the link.
Click on the links to read more on the Vlaeykensgang.
I'll better hurry up now, somebody has her first post up already,
and I'm not even done myself!

All I have to do now is add the Mr Linky, and we're set!



I had a little bit of trouble doing that, but it's here!
Please sign in if you're participating, and have fun with this.
And to answer another question I just got,
no, you don't have to do this every day.
If Mr Linky allows me, I'll have a new one up every day,
so you can play any time you want!
Have fun!
I know I will!
