PLEASE DO NOT USE MY IMAGES WITHOUT EXPRESSED WRITTEN PERMISSION.

There are several interesting and old building in Colusa, CA. so, while I had some free time I thought I’d visit a couple for Thursday Doors.

The first one I found was Our Lady of Lourdes Church with its beautiful bricks, arched windows, lovely steeple, and pretty red door complete with pretty street lamps.

I couldn’t find much about this building’s history other than it was erected in 1880-1881, and

“this historical marker is listed in this topic list: Churches & Religion. A significant historical date for this entry is October 12, 1900″.~ from their website. https://www.hmdb.org/m.asp?m=17492

I couldn’t let our new Thursday Doors host have his debut and not post a door to welcome him. So, here is a lovely door all done up for Christmas that I spied while in London on January 1, 2020.

Here’s a small collection of Red Doors from a walk-about in San Francisco earlier this year.

N°290

Red Door N°290

N°341 & N°343:

An odd angle, I know. If I remember correctly there was a car or something in front of these doors that bugged me so I photographed them this way.  I like the reflection of the window and tree branches in the arched windows.

N° 341 and N° 343 Red Doors

…and lastly, N°443 & N°445 with a bonus little White door. 🙂

N°443 & 445 Red Doors

The right door has a lovely reflection of a tree too which goes nicely with the potted plants on the stairs.  This hill was on the Steep side I recall.

Thursday Doors 31/52 N°213 W.

I’m  back in my NYC files for this week’s Thursday Doors post.

After walking the Highline and working up an appetite we stopped at a Taco Vendor’s on the Highline and enjoyed street tacos and nachos.  Full now we headed back the way we came and we were wondering what to do next when I spotted the Empire State Building’s spire. It didn’t look like it was too far away so, we decided to walk there.

While walking there I spied this red door and had to stop for a picture of it.

Red Doors

Right next to it was a garden gate with which led to a side door to the church.

I loved the potted garden, and the doors with the clover moulding and pretty stone archway.

I never saw the front of the church or the inside, but wish I had! I have no information about the church building or church I’m afraid.

I didn’t manage to get a door photograph that I really liked this past week, so I dug deep into my archives…all the way back to 2010 for this image.

Nº 40- I’ve had a thing for red doors a long time. 🙂  I could sit here with my morning or afternoon tea watching the world pass by.

Thursday Doors 9/52 San Francisco

Copyright © 2016 Deborah M. Zajac. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED

While I was in San Francisco walking around North Beach last week I couldn’t help but take notice of the doors;  quite a few caught my eye.

Nº 551, 553 & 555 – I love these doors, moulding, and color scheme.

Nº 551, 553, 555

Nº 1405- These are so modern or perhaps it’s Art Deco? I think it’s a bit glamorous. 🙂

I really like this shade of yellow. It’s so uplifting; like sunshine.

Nº1405

Nº 4:  The wire work, arch, and color scheme grabbed my attention with this door. I saw it while on my way to lunch, and had to stop to make the image.

Nº 4

Nº 325, & Nº 327- These were by far the cheeriest, and prettiest doors I saw on my walk-about. They were also pretty steep. 🙂

Nº 325 & Nº 327

I have more doors from this walk about that I’ll be sharing at some point.
