Catching Thursday by the tail… Today’s doors are one year old and I captured them on one of the hottest days last year in our regional capital in Tuscany, Grosseto.

I’m still in Slovenia, it’s balmy, fresh, green, calm, and my blog has stepped aside for the time being. But today is Thursday, it’s only proper to show you some doors.
Grosseto is a town you don’t visit just like that, by accident or by reputation. It’s a shame, really, because its historic old town is mighty pretty. I showed you this hot day trip already on my previous blog but I saved most of its doors for Thursdays that never came. Today is part one of Grosseto doors, overdue but better late than never.
The entrance to the old town. 
Two of two kinds. 
Look at these shadows and sharp light. 
Can you feel the heat? 
I was clicking in self-defence. 
Longing to enter one of these. 
Provided they have air-conditioning. 
I felt like this plant. 
It was the middle of the day. 
No real light to speak of. 
The sun was out to get me. 
Pretty boy door. 
The whole street was pretty, and green. 
What does the note say? 
The Cathedral reflected. 
A back door to the Cathedral (I think). 
The dungeon. (Nahh.) Grosseto doors will continue. Be well!

I really like the #3 dark green door with the matching mailbox, or two. They must get a lot of mail.

I like the arch doors and the arched entrances the best, but they’re all beautiful.

There’s something about that door with the bike that gets me and also that meshed dungeon door…freaky but nice. Enjoy your holiday Manja!

Thank you, Bojana. I’ve seen some footage from Belgrade a few days ago but I don’t know if anything new happened. Quite incredible.

The protersters are just sitting in silence ( with transparents Sedi, ne nasedaj) before the provocateurs start doing what they have been doing every evening. It’s so obvious now. Pathetic.

I can just smile and nod knowingly, imagining what the place is like, as it has a similar look and feel as many of the old small towns in that part of Italy…sigh 🙂
I think the 36C + heat here at the moment may have an influence on me because I can almost feel the heat in these pics too.
For the record, the reflection of the cathedral is my favourite shot of the bunch.
Stay cool and keep enjoying your break 🙂

Wow! 😮 I’m not following news much and I haven’t heard of this. In Canada as hot as in Tuscany! 😮 😮 😮 Whereas here in Slovenia it doesn’t cross 30. Incredible. You must become used to all kinds of temperatures like some super heroes! Thank you, Norm. On that day it was around 40. You’re almost there!

Thank you, Brenda! 🙂 I recommend another season though. Summer is hard to take! Here in Slovenia it’s much milder, especially today after a storm.

It should be just that behind every green door. Thanks, Joey. Heat is hot and it’s hear.
