Thursday Doors 23/2/23: Ostia

Funny how one can completely forget such a pleasant day.

It was the last day of last May when I saw Flavia for the last time (for now). We had lunch in her Ostia by the sea, which is practically still greater Rome, and then strolled a little first in the city where we had gelato, and then in the nearby woods which felt really good in the heat.

Not only I forgot that I had these doors to post but I also forgot what we had for lunch, which is highly atypical for me. And I don’t even have any photos of it.

It must be because I was overwhelmed. I couldn’t believe that after more than half a year of isolation I was finally walking somewhere NEW, with another living soul for company that was not a dog.

I was busy chatting and didn’t click much. These are almost all the photos I took. Except in the woods, I clicked more often there but, alas, I didn’t see any doors. You will see.

So yes, I didn’t need to go somewhere new this week. Again. Still. But I will. Spring is on.

• 

  Where we had lunch.

• 

  Ostia is cheerful.

• 

  A long road by the sea.

• 

  My friend would say: “I love what nobody else loves.”

• 

  From the main road. We didn’t approach.

• 

  More candy colours.

• 

  Almost like a boat.

• 

  The green shutters are eye-pleasing.

• 

  Cheeky balconies.

• 

  Il Krapfen? Doesn’t sound very Italian.

• 

  I might have been chatting but doors are always in my view.

• 

  She caught my glance too.

• 

  Another door that didn’t let me pass.

• 

  A bookshop and one piece of Flavia.

• 

  Double doors and triple half wheels.

• 

  A look up with bicycles on the wall.

• 

  I had a feeling to be in a movie throughout.

• 

  Then we drove to the woods where doors were not to be had.

• 

  The only house we saw. Not much left.

• 

  Just street art.
