For this last day in October I have selected some photos from last month when we had the last visitors and it was the last time I went anywhere farther than the beach.

While most of you are getting ready for some scary pumpkin action, some think of the dead, some are getting retired and ready for new doors, some wrangle sick kids and night when it should be day, and some celebrate World Savings Day and learn to do nothing, here are some doors because it’s Thursday.
The first part of the photos is from Capalbio on the hill above us, then there is a lovely gate we found on the way to a new beach, and the last two are from Porto Ercole. This region is called Maremma and it used to be bad news, with the marshes, mosquitoes and malaria. Now it’s another kind of MMM on the loose. Always welcome.

I was captivated by this structure. You can barely see the door but I think it’s an elevator to the parking below. 
The light was wrong for a photo but great for a stroll, which is more important. 
The entrance to the town. 
The sticker on the door says that dogs are allowed to enter if they behave. No mention of cats. 
As if s-he cares. 
I like this sign of life. 
A lovely table too. 
Some saw this door yet and some are going to. 
Natural door model. 
The arch from the other side with a very old door. 
A few hours later and that elevator again. 
With a nice gate to say goodbye to that day. 
This was a new day and we went to the beach Cala del Gesso. 
I wouldn’t mind this view. 
A few hours later when we returned. Still there. 
The whole pink deal. 
Porto Ercole: Sometimes doors are many. 
Other times there are none. Fiat 500. (And now click on the photo to view them again in a colourful gallery.)
Some of these do look familiar but it’s always nice to just enjoy and soak in the beauty of this wonderful part of the world.
And, the light in your featured shot is spectacular of course 😉

Yes, SMSW, as long as I can help it, there will be doors on Thursdays around here. I’m glad you found some comfort in that sentence. 🙂

Hehe, the car seems to have bushes growing out of it, doesn’t it? They are just behind it, no photo shop. It’s some sort of attraction, this car, promoting something possibly.

I was wondering about the car’s blue-and-white cover. But is it behind the car, that’s what you’re saying? 😂

No no, that is really the roof of the car. 😀 Behind the car is the stand with some green plants.

Love these intimate details in your captures, Manja! The sunlight helps to give them lots of atmosphere. I think I saw you came by my blog last week- thank you! Am still catching up on two weeks of on and off electrical power outages (fire prevention, because of 6 fires burning in California right now – not close, so not to worry). Have a great weekend!

No, this one is Fiat 500. Italian traditional mini car. There are still many driving around and they have meetings. See this post:

That’s the main protagonist of ‘Nacionalna klasa,’ which is one of THE most important movies in the cinematography of Yugoslavia, marking lots of generations. The music is still a classic.

Another Triple M in the same country? Is the world ready? The elevator is out of this world – literally. It looks like something in a fantasy story that only appears at certain times and then the greenery folds over it and it disappears.
