Thick Ice #ThursdayDoors

I found another picture with doors in. Charlie used to frame pictures as a hobby, so we have pictures hanging all over the house. Yesterday, I went upstairs and found some I wanted to swap out for some that were downstairs.

One of the ones I brought down was Winter Landscape with Skaters and Bird Trap (1565) by Pieter Bruegel The Elder.

Here is the whole picture:

I guess the bird trap is that wooden plank held up by a stick.

And here are closeups of pictures of doors or buildings that surely have doors in them, somewhere.

I maintain there’s a door behind that goofy-looking tree, and one at the top of the steps of the house in the foreground.
Bound to be doors in there, somewhere.

I was born in Louisville, Kentucky, but now live in the woods in southern Indiana. Though I only write fiction, I love to read non-fiction. The more I learn about this world, the more fantastic I see it is.

    Around here they refer to me as “the male human in our employ,” but ‘critter daddy’ works.

    I am a firm believer in implied doors. A building has to have a door, and a building facing a pond has a door that opens out to the pond. That’s just common sense. I love the painting.

      I’m all about implied doors, too. The only building I know of that doesn’t have doors is Rapunzel’s tower.

      It DOES look Americana. What if Grandma Moses was channeling a man from the Netherlands in the 16th century? Sounds like a TV show premise to me….
