The last time I was in northeast France visiting my s-i-l, we decided to leave France for a short while, driving across the border to Germany and the picturesque town of Staufen im Breisgau. Although the rain was beating down when we arrived, we partook of a delicious lunch, (food and drink make everything better), then walked through the streets, going into shops and enjoying being tourists. I took a number of door photos there, before even knowing about this challenge of Norm’s. The weather wasn’t very good, although the rain did stop after lunch, but we had a great time in the shadow of the local castle and its vineyards. We ended the day in a pastry shop, the perfect finish to a lovely get-away.
(“Briefe” means “letters.”)
Brief is the word we use in Afrikaans!
The two languages are certainly related.

That is true! 🙂
This is such a nice weathered old door. I like doors with mail slots. I don’t know why but they add something interesting to the door. Nice job on the photo.
I like them, too, Dan, although now they’re often not large enough for some of the mail we get. 🙂 They do add character, thouogh.

This door has character. 🙂
Lots of character on this one. I just love the decorative latticework in the glass panes. Lovely find 🙂
It definitely has character, Norm. This area of the town had many beautiful doors. So many doors, so few Thursday’s. 😉

That’s just gorgeous!
Thanks!

Beautiful door! I love a weathered door, although my husband does not share my taste — if the door is ours!
The details in that door are beautiful!
That’s a coincidence, my doors this week are also German!
Lovely image…nothing like an old door!
I agree. Thanks for opening the door to my blog and walking in. Enjoy the weekend.

You too!
