I walked by this door in Bruges, Belgium. What caught my eye to stop and take the photo? Everything – cobblestones, various shades of blue, opaque windows, and gray stonework. It looked classy and serene.
Here’s wishing you a safe and happy weekend whether you’re basking in the sun at the beach, watching a ballgame, or working on a project. 🙂

That’s beautiful and so quaint! Looking at it feels like being alive in the days of the old masters – like the door to Vermeer’s studio, or something “way cool” like that!
And a happy long weekend to you, too, Judy!

Oh, so beautiful cobalt blues, slate grays and the ancient look of it all. I would love to go to Bruges. I think this is perfect for our muggy, gloomy day we may have in Ohio. A day brightener, Judy.

For a long time, I thought red was the best color for a door. I’m beginning to think blue might be a better choice. This is such a pretty door and it just fits so well in its environment. Great choice Judy! Have a great weekend.

Blue doors are compelling. The height of this one makes it even more so.

Love the colors and everything about it. Beautifully presented, Judy. I keep thinking I have to join this challenge as I have some door photos in my files, but I keep forgetting.

I would have been drawn to this shot because of the blue. Brugge is one of my favorite small towns in Europe – one of the few that wasn’t heavily bombed during WWII.

Oh yes, those blue cobblestones are a unique addition to this lovely door. I’m taken with the door frame itself – the scrollwork and edging showcase the door in the same way the ‘right’ frame shows off a painting.
Great choice, Judy!

Beautiful.
So much blue. You’d think some shade or another would clash or jar your eye, but these all sit perfectly. Well done!
If I had never wanted to go to Belgium before, you know all these doors you post would inspire me to go!

I loved Belgium, and Bruges was lovely – I’d go back in a minute. Brussels was so busy and crowded it was like walking down Time Square. I would pass on it.

I look around here and see just rectangular slabs painted black or white that serve as doors. I really enjoyed Europe’s flair for the dramatic and the use of color at their entrances.
