Thursday not really Doors 16/3/23: Capalbio Scalo

Previous week I showed you our train station and once I was there, I took the long way home. It lasted an hour to reach it. I wish to show you my walk, no matter that there were not many doors to speak of. But first: Take the fibre, they said. It will be fast,

Thursday Doors 9/3/23: Capalbio train station

When I found myself standing in front of an open door of a train, a thought crossed my mind… Dan = doors + trains! Perfect! So yes, this is just behind our tiny train station. Capalbio is the name of the medieval town on the hill 15 minutes away by car, so I can imagine

Thursday Doors 2/3/23: Last of 2022 doors

With this post all my last year’s doors worth showing have been showed. Now I’ll really need to go somewhere new. I had a quick look through all my last year’s folders (there are not as many any more) and rescued the last doors that I haven’t showed yet. They are all from around here

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

Thursday Doors 16/2/23: Early spring in Rome

This week I give you spring sights and not as many but at least fresh doors from this weekend in Monteverde, a residential district in western Rome. This Sunday we went to Rome for lunch to celebrate a couple of family birthdays. As soon as we arrived and bestia greeted everybody (so happy to finally

Thursday Doors 9/2/23: Summer in Ljubljana with hidden doors

Now you’ll know what I did last summer. Instead of doors – well, some are hidden in the background – here are four clusters from four occasions when I had fun with mum in my city, Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. Let’s start with that time when we went to see the documentary “2017” about

Thursday Doors 2/2/23: Last of Piran doors

Last for now, that is, just for now. Make no mistake, I plan to return there this summer or even for Easter. But until I do, here is the last reminder from this summer what a beauty Piran is and how many spectacular doors and views it offers. We start with the mysterious hole in

Thursday Doors 26/1/23: More Piran doors

I had a hunch that there must be heaps of doors left from Piran on the Slovenian coast, where my parents are and where I spent last summer. This is correct. These are all from June. I had several Thursday Doors posts from Piran this summer and yet failed to show all the doors. If

Thursday Doors 19/1/23: Rome – Monteverde 2.

This is indeed a door post, even though the featured photo is of the first blooming tree I ever saw on Christmas. Not quite true: on previous Christmas I saw the same fruit tree in bloom, just that the photos I took were rather bad. Monteverde, the hospital and residential area of Rome, is where

Thursday Doors 12/1/23: Rome – Monteverde 1.

Here are some doors and views from Rome, taken one year ago. Nothing fancy nor old, just doors well used and well lived. Monteverde, the district of Rome where amore’s father lives, reminds me of New York, not that I’ve ever visited it. It’s multicultural, not particularly rich and not particularly clean. It has green
