Today’s post is a memory from a year ago when turning off course to investigate a pretty church tower was still something one did. On the way from the capital Ljubljana to Piran on the coast, I mentioned that there was an inviting church steeple that I kept passing near Koper, the largest port of […]
I’m really glad to be able to give you doors live from the past week in Piran on the Slovenian coast where I’m celebrating the birthday of Slovenia today. She turns 29. While the imagery from the capital Ljubljana is bleak, teaming with protests, police and fences in the streets, here in Piran it’s calm […]
And here it is, the last part of Thursday Doors from Vitorchiano from me, freshly landed in Slovenia. And now – chill. I’m happy. Not only because it’s Thursday and I’ve come to the end of my Vitorchiano door series, not only – but most of all – because I’m in Slovenia again, in the […]
In danger of making it sound like an unnecessary movie franchise, this is post number 5 from Vitorchiano, a model Italian town not even in Tuscany. Today’s post is the study of the elements required for a town to come alive. My intention is to show you in the row of Thursdays exactly what one […]
We continue our door tour of Vitorchiano, a little town near Viterbo. This is part four of its doors in four minutes, and the end is not yet in sight. Today we step up the game. The time spent: four minutes. But see for yourselves: the town is stepping up its door game too. The […]
No surprises today: we continue our January stroll through Vitorchiano where doors are alive and well and out to get you. Normally I like to mix towns and countries a bit on Thursdays, but this town, Vitorchiano near Viterbo in Lazio north of Rome, I wish to show you in sequence. We are at part […]
Today we continue our stroll through Vitorchiano from this January. All today’s photos were taken within seven minutes. Imagine how many doors are still waiting. In my previous Thursday Doors post we parked, had a lovely lunch and entered the old town of Vitorchiano. Today we continue. The winter day was coming to a close […]
Today I finally delve into the doors of Vitorchiano, officially one of the prettiest Italian towns. And it was not even on my list. This was one of our field trips with Flavia in January, and on this one we were joined by her friend who is a local from nearby Viterbo, north of Rome, […]
Five years ago something happened that completely changed my life here in Italy. Nothing would ever be the same again. I started to mind the doors. I still know exactly how it felt when I realised that there was a challenge tempting us to post door photos on Thursdays. It felt like what finding your […]
You have seen these doors before but I can’t wait to see them again. In the poem, the last for this April, some things that are also bound to return, not just me. Thank you for reading and poeting! Prompt 30: “I’d like to challenge you to write a poem about something that returns.” First […]
