Here are further twenty minutes of the last carefree day, spent in Viterbo. The anniversary is coming up later this month. How are you doing?

Me? I find it really hard to keep up with my usual uplifting blogging presence and I’m grateful to Thursdays Doors for making me keep going it.
This is the historic centre of Viterbo, quite a large and old city in Lazio north of Rome. The day was February 22nd last year and it felt like going back in time. Don’t mind if I do it again.
By now I have seen lots of Italian doors. My camera eye is discerning but finds something of interest in every corner. Even when it’s more gritty than stylish, it’s eye-catching all the same.
Let’s start with the gelato from the end of my previous Thursday Doors post after Flavia and I were done with tiny but poetic Via Larga. See? Even my step is carefree.
The king of doors and gelato. Photo: Flavia. 
This cinema has seen the end of time. 
You got to keep it airy. 
This prosciutto house is on its last leg. 
This is not for show. People live here. 
All sorts of layers. 
The well-policed church. 
The way to go. 
Blue sky Sunday. 
The Church of Santi Faustino e Giovita. 
Is this a door ghost? 
As usually, the notaries have the best doors. 
This one has a chair waiting. 
Help! The sun is eating my door. 
Not a door but quite fascinating. 
Close like this for the last time. 
A friendly dog. 
A friendly Nature’s Empire. 
Another gelateria but we let it be, despite the welcoming window. 
It was here that we realised we had just found the town proper.

Very layered, just how I like it.
I’m doing ok, thanks for asking, considering it’s been almost a year. Unbelievable, right?

I am glad you find the energy and spirit to continue, Manja. It wouldn’t be Thursday Doors without you. If you ever run out, you can always recycle some favorites from the past.
The Church of Santi Faustino e Giovita looks like something I’d expect to find in the southwest here in the states. So different from what we see where I live.
I love the stone buildings, even the ones that need some attention.
My favorite photo today is the first. I actually feel your carefree step. I hope we can return to days like that soon.
Take care.

Thank you, Lynette! I’m really glad to hear this. It’s why I do what I do, still. And no worries, I’m not in door straights yet, still have plenty of new ones to post. What I miss is the moments when I notice and capture them.

I agree, you can recycle doors if you run out. I look forward to the weekly post. I think there’s an end to this isolation but I’m not sure where it is yet. (K)
