That’s New Albany, not Not Applicable. Except I think one or more of these doors I photographed while driving might be in Louisville, so those would be Not Applicable to the title, which means New Albany.
ANYWAY, here they are, from my Sekrit Stash of door photos, kept for just such an occasion. I mean, not, obviously, a GLOBAL PANDEMIC, because I didn’t expect that, but I did expect there would be weeks when I wouldn’t be on any doorscursions. So.

Thursday doors is the brainchild of Norm Frampton, photographer extraordinaire. Visit his site, enjoy his wonderful photographs, follow his directions, and enter a world of doors.

June 25, 2020 at 8:55amThe new building is flatly utilitarian. The columns tickle me, standing out all alone. They look like a bit of Ancient Roman ruins in the middle of an American Midwestern city.

June 25, 2020 at 9:53amThat’s the look I imagined.

June 25, 2020 at 10:15amOooh,I only saw the first door AFTER reading your comment, when I looked better 🙂
I have a whole post coming up in a couple of weeks with doors taken from a moving car 🙂 but I was not driving.
Lovely post 🙂

June 25, 2020 at 2:53pmI usually don’t try to take pictures when I’m driving driving, but sometimes I do when I’m driving but stopped at a stop sign or red light, or when I can pull over or stop in the street with nobody behind me. I can barely take pictures from a MOVING car if I’m a passenger, so more power to you! 😀

June 25, 2020 at 10:17pmI wouldn’t attempt driving and taking pictures either 🙂 Besides, around here you must drive in a residential area if you want to immortalize doors and these days there are lots of kids on the street.
Maybe try taking pictures with a digital camera when in a moving car, not your phone? It has to do with the shutter speed, I think 😉

June 26, 2020 at 8:09amOh, that makes sense! I have a digital camera, but one of the reasons I got a “smart” phone was so I wouldn’t have to carry a phone AND a camera in my 200-pound purse. My #4 daughter doesn’t even CARRY a purse; if it doesn’t fit in her pockets, she doesn’t have it. I asked her, “How can you go around with nothing on you? What if somebody needs a Bandaid? What if somebody needs hand lotion? Or earplugs? Or a pencil sharpener?” She said, “I don’t need all those things. YOU have all those things. Here–will you put this in your purse for me until we get home?”

June 26, 2020 at 8:21amSooo sweet! I know that very well… A different generation. Some things they can’t do without, some they can 🙂 When we’re holidaying, I’m the one responsible 🙂 for such items – and a few extras.
When my son was little I used to carry at least a couple of die cast cars in my handbag. Emergency toys… I miss that 🙂
It is so convenient to take pictures with a phone, but I do know that if I want a good one I should be more patient 🙂

June 25, 2020 at 10:17amI want to say that I’m happy they thought to preserve them, but honestly those columns just look oddly out of place just standing there :-/
You found an excellent corner door, and it leads into a bakery so that’s a bonus right there. Now just don’t get yourself arrested for drinking and driving, or photo-snapping and driving or…well, anything else for that matter 😉
Marian Allen
June 25, 2020 at 10:49amYes, Chief, no getting arrested! I remember you made us sign a no-bail waiver when we joined Thursday Doors. 😉 The columns DO look odd, which is probably why I like them. 😀

June 25, 2020 at 3:57pmI think someone should sue the pandemic for interfering with our doorscursions and other scursions as well! Someone must pay. Isn’t that the lesson of the last month? Yes, I’m cynical. I admit it.

June 26, 2020 at 8:03amI think the lesson of the past month is that the wrong people have been paying for about 400 years, and it’s about 400 years past time for that to stop.

June 26, 2020 at 9:23amMy comment wasn’t meant to be in any way a political comment. It was just laughing at how we haven’t been able to get out and take pictures of doors.
Marian Allen
June 26, 2020 at 9:28amYou are so right! Sue the pandemic for descursioning us! Do we have any lawyers amongst the dooristas? Or would that be a conflict of interest? I’ve been binge-watching Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, and I know Saul Goodman would take the case. Saul Goodman would take ANY case, as long as he got paid.

June 26, 2020 at 8:04amIsn’t it perfect? It almost makes my teeth hurt, just looking at the colors.

June 29, 2020 at 9:37amWell done. Not easy easy to capture drive by shots like that. Love those big white pillars.
