It's Still Life

The soul of this quiet Dijon street lives in its weathered walls—cracked beige plaster, rough wooden shutters closed like sleepy eyes, and a low, warped door that has whispered secrets for centuries. The past lingers in the faded blue sign honoring a long-gone mayor, while brown arrows point the way to grand palaces and museums, as if the street itself is a patient guide. Sunlight traces every scar and patch of stubborn grass, softening the years with golden warmth, and the air hums with the quiet pride of a place that has stood, unassuming yet enduring, through time’s gentle unraveling.

Bushboy (Brian Dodd) shares photos of doors, but not just any doors. Spectacular doors from his journeys. Dan’s Thursday Doors opened the door on this. I love doors of all sorts. I’ve trawled through my photos and found a few to share.
