I’m usually too lazy to go back and look at all the doors or gates I shared in a year, but I’ve decided to make the effort this year. Of course that creates a new problem: which doors to choose?? I’m going with some favorites from each of the places I usually find doors.
The door that no one really cared about, from the visitor’s center at Saguaro National Park…
Keep on truckin’. From Chicago’s WNDR Museum…
The door to a Wyoming sheepherder’s home…
Found in Pasadena, California…
And, of course, from France…
I love the light and shadow game in the first pic.
The wagon – does someone living inside will read my fortune? 🙂
The light and shadows in the first one were so amazing. As for the wagon, maybe the sheepherder’s wife if had one? No one lives in the wagon anymore. It’s just a roadside attraction.

So much human history behind each door, isn’t it 🙂 Each one just as important.
I am glad you could capture de light so well in the first pic, it is impressive.
My favourite is the French one!
Yes, I’m partial to that one as well, although I have so many French doors that I love that it was difficult to choose. 🙂

I can appreciate that Janet
What a wonderful variety of doors. Thanks for sharing them again.
My pleasure, Judy. Thanks for the visit and comment. They’re both always appreciated.
I thought you heading in the direction of shadows and stripes theme with the first two doors, but then you changed it up. I love the sheep herder’s wagon. It’s cool! Great selection to wrap up the year with.
The wagon isn’t in use any longer, but it makes you think that tiny houses aren’t just a modern invention!
A great variety of doors. I remember these from your past posts.
Thanks, Peggy. It was hard to choose, but fun to see what doors I’d shared this year.
Reminded me to keep my doors locked. 😉
🙂 I never go into anyone’s home, so you’re safe from me. As far as I know, Norm and now Dan have never had to use the bail money to get any Thursday Doors person out of jail.

These are great doors and your reliable excellent photography, Janet. I love the lines and shadows in that first image. I also like the truck and the back doors to the trailer – those are classics. I hope 2021 gives you an opportunity to return to France, for more doors (pastries too) and good times with family. I hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Stay safe.
Thanks very much, Dan. I always look forward to Thursday Doors as well. I also hope I can get back to France!
Nice collection of doors. Particularly love the first entrance and the gypsy cart.
John, nice to hear from you again so soon. 🙂 First of all, go Buckeyes. Secondly, that first one is one of my favorite photos, too.

Janet, this is a wonderful collection! They’re all fabulous. But I love old autos, and that’s my favorite “shape” of pickup truck — I can’t stop looking at it. Hugs on the wing!
That truck was really something. I’d love to see it driving around but it’s in the museum so everyone can enjoy it.
Dan – I know I haven’t been around here that long, but this post is absolutely my favorite. The collection is wonderful, diverse, fun, and more. Well done, sir. 🙂
Oh crap … I mean Janet. Sorry about that.
I’ve done the same thing before, Frank. Not a problem. 🙂
Thanks, Frank, because I know from working backwards that you really meant that for me. I really appreciate it.

A great selection of doors, Janet. I really like the doors of the truck and the shepherd’s home. #ThursdayDoors
Thanks, Natalie. It was hard just choosing these few doors, but since the others have already been featured, they shouldn’t feel left out. 🙂 Glad you liked them.
janet
Oh I so adore your first photo. Marvelous. I really like your photos for this challenge. 😀
Cee, that first one’s a favorite of mine but the funny part of it is that my husband was standing right under all those shadows and didn’t even notice them. 🙂
All very cool but that truck is perfect.
What fun to drive art cars like that.
That truck is in a museum, but I’d love to have one like it to drive around. There are a number of men around here who have old and/or refurbished Chevrolet pickup trucks. It’s always fun to see them when they get together prior to driving off to who knows where. None of them are as cool as this one, though. 🙂
We have one of the largest art car organizations in the US here – there’s a big parade and contest every year except last year. Between parades people drive them everyday – adds a smile to commutes.
That paint job on that museum truck is one of theist professional ones I’ve seen. Cool indeed ( but it needs to be on the road!)
I like the psychedelic truck!
It is pretty cool. 🙂
janet
Watching for more wonderful doors next year!
I still have lots in my archives, so I should be able to meet that wish. 😉. Maybe I’ll even find some around here that are interesting.
Wonderful choices! That first one is still my favorite, although the others give it a close run for its money.
If I made it hard to choose, I’m happy, Marian. I’m partial to that first one myself. 🙂
I can see why it was difficult making a choice, Janet. They’re all so good. The first one is brilliant, I love the effect of the shadows but I think my favourite is the sheepherder’s home. Such a great photo. Looking forward to your 2021 doors.
Thanks, Jean. Merry Christmas and may 2021 be a normal year. 🙂
Great review Janet. I love the first two most, hands down – maybe because they’re different! A merry Christmas to you and a wonderful 2021 to straighten all of us out what went crooked this year:)
Thanks, Jesh. A merry and blessed Christmas to you and yours and I pray 2021 defaults to normal. 🙂
