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 8/9/22: Goodbye, Piran

Here are the last doors from Piran for this year as a goodbye, with some weather, music and Luka news. Today I left the coast and after a two-hour drive in heavy downpour arrived in Ljubljana in the centre of Slovenia, where I get to hear Konstrakta live with her band in a couple of

Thursday Doors 11/8/22: Koper 3.

Here is the last door post from my June daytrip to Koper with doors surrounding Carpaccio Square which seemingly grew overnight. In my teenage years I used to visit Koper often, even more often than Piran, and yet when my poet friend and I turned the corner, I couldn’t believe my eyes. A pretty square

Thursday Doors 4/8/22: Koper 2.

Here is another batch of doors from the Slovenian coast to lure you over. Today let’s look back again at a June afternoon spent in the biggest Slovenian port city Koper 20 km south of Trieste, even though you wouldn’t guess it’s a port from these photos. Slovenian coast is bilingual territory, so the city

Last photo of July with lens trouble

Yesterday I remembered that it was the last day of the month so I made sure that my last couple of photos make a good piece of evidence of my lens trouble. This is something that has been happening more and more often. Have a look at my penultimate and last July photo: By the

Thursday Doors 28/7/22: Piran in July

All these doors were captured this month on the coast of Slovenia. There are worse times and places to be. All but two, that is. Yesterday, just as I was choosing doors for this post, the following door came flying in by way of Crystal, my friend from Oregon who visited us last year and

Thursday Doors 14/7/22: Piran 5

Here is another portion of doors in Piran by the sea All these doors face the sea which was so full of jellyfish yesterday that I refused to enter. They are the small translucent kind that don’t sting but it’s no fun to suddenly touch one underwater. Pay attention to the last photo which shows

Thursday Doors 7/7/22: Koper 1.

Let’s infiltrate another city among all the Piran doors that have come and will be coming on Thursdays for a while. Koper is the biggest coastal city in Slovenia and here are a few of its doors. One Wednesday in June I drove to Koper by bus from Piran for 40 minutes and spent the

Thursday Doors with a view 30/6/22: Piran

Today’s doors, all taken this month in Piran, come with some sort of view, be it of the sea, of the town below, through the arch, or in a reflection. Welcome to join me on a stroll through Piran with the views I get on my dog walks. And the doors, the doors are always
