I set out to find green doors in my archives and immediately had 50 photos from one year alone. That’s why today Italy, Slovenia next week.
Last week K. mentioned in a comment to my post that she liked green doors and I was reminded of the green door post I did once before. I decided to look for the green doors that I gathered after September 7th 2017 when it was posted. As soon as I finished browsing through 2018 I could stop, because I had over 50 already.
I decided to split them in half by countries, so today you get the ones in Italy and Slovenia will follow next week.
All today’s photos were taken between September 16th 2017 and October 1st 2018. I was astonished how busy I used to be, swishing between Tuscany and Rome and Slovenia like it’s nothing at all, while receiving visitors (including a familiar face next to the familiar door, as you will see at the end of the gallery).
Welcome and happy summer! We’ve had three quite hot days already.
(Mutters something barely audible about the Eurovision Song Contest and Mavs vs. Suns happening tonight again. But very quietly. On Tuesday I jinxed them both.)

Great Green Doors, Manja! I like that old weathered turquoise door with the windows too.
It was fun to see Norm. We haven’t seen him in ages.
I hope we get back to traveling a lot again soon! I miss it.

Hmm, Betsy, I have a request for red doors too. Maybe I should do a poll. 😉 Noo, just kidding. I’ll certainly keep it in my mind for the next one-colour door gallery. I have never done a blue door post. Thanks for the idea! Until then, here are some: https://manjamaksimovic.wordpress.com/2015/08/06/thursday-doors-august-6/

I’m a fan of green doors too, and you do them justice. So hard to select a favorite, but I’ll try. The feature photo is splendid, and so many are evocative. The one I keep returning to is the door with the graffiti eye. Very meta. Also, thanks for the photo of the Terme di Saturnia. Fascinating.
And I just checked the Mavs score. WHAT???!!! I’ll say nothing more…

Haha, Carol Ann, thank you. I hope you’ll have the same reaction after tonight’s decisive seventh game. 🙂 I’m so curious if the system will let the Mavs win. Meta is my mom’s name and I’m so amused how this word is gaining momentum lately. More green doors – from Slovenia this time – coming up this Thursday. Thank you!

Ohhhhhh I absolutely love all your green doors!!! This is an art exhibition in itself. The promise behind the door, the speculation of all the characters that live there. 🙂

Thank you, Sunra Nina. I often hear from people that they speculate and think about what goes on behind this or that door. I never do that. The door is there to separate us and them. Just like I rarely look in through windows. I do peek at the gardens though.

Totally get it. Respecting the door’s destiny as boundary – I love that. There’s this-ness and there’s that-ness and that is how it should be. It makes separation okay. Thanks Manja for the food for thought! I can imagine you peeking in at the gardens! 🙂
