As we were driving out of Ljubljana to the north, I was admiring the mountains covered with dark stormy clouds and trying to figure out if this was the type of country that could let me forget about doors. The answer is no. Gozd Martuljek is a little village in the upper left corner of […]
We are getting specific. Today’s door was a mighty surprise for me when I saw it on Flavia’s blog. I’d be willing to bet that it couldn’t possibly be in my city. And yet. It’s true that I started to take intentional photos of doors only after I moved from Ljubljana to Tuscany, but it’s […]
This is not my first Pitigliano door post, of course, but the first from the first post-quarantine day trip with my best Italian friend Flavia. I was especially glad to be there with her since she had never been before. I was even more glad when we found the most brilliant place to have lunch: […]
It’s been a long time since I posted a single door on Thursdays. Maybe this is how we should begin downsizing. I’m in my country of origin and my city of birth – Ljubljana, Slovenia – and as I walk the dog I keep thinking how I don’t even notice the doors around here, let […]
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 […]
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 […]
