Apparently another blast from the past with this week’s challenge. Sofia from photographias has taken us back to challenge number #20 DOORS. I can imagine this being a great challenge.
When I first started looking for doors I was struggling a bit. I tend to look up at buildings or try and get the whole of them so that made finding doors a bit harder. Then I thought doorways or entrances. Isn’t a door just a different way of saying the entrance to something? Well, that’s my theory here.
I looked for entrances and doors. So I have a photo of the outside of a sports stadium, where the entrance to get in is. Then I found the Webb Bridge and thought about how it is a bridge with an unusual entrance to it. I have the building they use for Masterchef Australia, and you can see people entering it. The gates to the old Pentridge Prison, one none of us ever wanted to enter through. Then I found some other doors on my blog and added them.
They were all I could find, then I went looking on my original blog, the one I stopped posting to in 2016. It seems I used to post a lot of doors back in the day, and I found so many. I love the way old buildings often had very ornate doors and even fences with gates. All the photos below are from Melbourne, except the first one, which are doors at the back of a shearing shed.
Hopefully, I have filled the brief and the images work for this challenge.

Great variety there, Leanne 🙂.
Thank you PR.
GREAT doors. I love all the metal work. Youth Org needs more graffiti however. 😉
Thank you John.
These are all awesome, Leanne. There’s something fascinating about doors and doorways, we end up collectiong them without realising. I love old doors so your Melbourne ones are simply perfect for me.
Thank you Sofia. I agree, they are fascinating.
Wow, Melbourne certainly has some ornate doors, they’re beautiful! I was interested to see the Masterchef building too as it’s in the same 1930s style as my primary school 😀
Melbourne does and I think it is because of the gold rush and all the money that was here back in that time. That’s funny about the Masterchef building. Thank you Sarah.
I thought I might be the only one who has photos of only a few doors. Like you, I found more than I imagined once I started looking. Your earlier blog did include a wonderful collection of doors, for sure.
Yeah not the only one, I like doors, but I like buildings more. Good to hear you found some John, it is amazing how things you don’t photograph normally you can find heaps. Thank you John.
These doors are magnificent Leanne. So intricate. No
Thank you Teresa, it is amazing how many great doors Collins Street has.
These doors are grand.
Thank you Hazel.
You’re welcome, Leanne.
😁😁😁
Fabulous shots. So many impressive doorways.
Thank you Rebecca.
I love the juxtaposition of the old shearing shed with the Melbourne doors — and esp. that crack of light across the shearing shed floor…
The shearing shed doors are very different, thank you so much Penny.
Wonderful variety!!
Thank you Nora.
What a fabulous gallery Leanne. So many wonderful doors
Thank you so much Brian.
I love that one that opens to a hallway to a door to a hallway…
If it is the one I’m thinking of, goes from green to red, it is part of Parliament house, so green is the lower house, and the red is the upper, so the senators. Thank you Dawn.
Just an interesting note if the king came to visit he would have to stay on the red side.
what a cavalcade of beautiful doors, gates, iron works. Love post for this challenge
Thank you so much Ritva.
Leeanne, I really enjoyed the variety of doors in your beautiful gallery.
Thank you Beth.
These are awesome Leanne! Great images for this challenge!!
Thank you Anne.
I think my favorite was the sinlight coming through the barn door. Very nice!
Good choice Sam, thank you.
Great one, Leanne! The Youth Project and Laundry Room doors–a little creepy but in a very good way.
The Youth one is part of Hosier Lane, where they do all the graffiti. The laundry room doors are part of a creepy part of an old Abbey. Thank you Lois.
Hello Leanne,
A wonderful selection and very interesting pictures you have chosen. I like them very much, especially the 6th and 7th.
Many greetings, Robert
Thank you so much Robert.
Excellent specimens!!
Thank you Julie.
