Here are the last of Sara’s Spain pictures. These are of the remains of an excavated Roman villa. She says there are no doors, but there are spaces where the doors used to be. That counts, in ruins.

And there was a model of what the villa would have looked like when new.

Super cool!

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: a pergola. Or a ruin.

Imagined doors, imagined people, imagined life…ruins like those are a door unto themselves, yes? Daughters rule!

Places where doors used to be / might have been certainly count for this challenge, and those are great photos. Is this where she was working?

  No, she was working on a Bronze Age necropolis field near Pintia. Her fellows called her “Bones” because she could tell a fragment of ancient bone from a fragment of stone. 😀
