(sigh) Gorgeous. Even though it's not the same, that shot of the red door suddenly reminded me of driving down the main street of downtown St. Thomas when all the shops are closed and all the hurricane shutter doors are locked tight...just the juxtaposition of bright exterior walls against also brightly colored wooden doors.

Good morning Tara. I love pictures of doors and windows. They provide such secret possibilities. The best part of my own travels was enjoying the diversity of doors and windows to private homes. The color and design suggests excitement and an active interest in life.
