With the swirly, twirly holiday calendar upon me, I’ve had no time to venture out to explore the untapped doors for Norm’s Thursday door challenge. So for today’s inspiration I’ve sifted through my already collected photos searching out doors with a single interesting feature and settled upon door knobs.
This first door lives in Corniglia, Italy (Cinque Terre) and I remember then photographing this particular door simply because of the angle of its handle. I love asymmetry and imagine this handle feeling just right when reaching for it to enter this home.
This second door is found in Morano, Italy, and of course has an interesting glass feature. But I like the fact there is one single knob centered about hip high.
Here is a third Italian door I found directly on the Cinque Terre trail and it has a very simple utilitarian chain as a door handle. No fuss, no muss! Whatever works, right?
This final door resides in Barcelona, Spain and boasts NO door knob…only colorful graffiti. I am left wondering, are we stuck outside or are others stuck inside???
There are many more doors worth opening – visit Norm 2.0 Thursday Doors to explore other door lover’s photographs from around the world.
What an eclectic mix of doors and knobs – each is wonderful in its own way, but the 2nd one with the unusual glass is my favourite 🙂

We stayed in Corniglia last year; apartment next to the restaurant as you drive into the middle of the village; missed the door knobs you posted (including the one on the trail). I would go back there but I would suggest in the off season because the summer was very hot. Nice post!

Love that second one. I’m pretty sure I can see a handle on the far right of the graffiti door. 🙂

Really? I’m looking but still cannot find it. Must look on my laptop for clearer pic. Thanks for heads up Janet.

I’m not positive, but I think so. It’s very hard to see, but it’s at a slightly different angle from everything else. Of course, I might also be crazy. 🙂

I just went back and made it larger. Look just to the right of the top part of the red “G”. There’s something that looks like a metal door knob, although it’s not a knob, but one of those straight ones that are metal.

Janet…Yes, I do see what you are seeing and I do think it might be a handle of sorts. Good eyes! You win (something!). Go stand next to your mailbox….

Too cold! Could I just watch from the front window? 🙂

A nice mix this week. I guess that last door was meant to be an exit only. If we get back to Italy one day, Cinque Terre is near the top of our list.

I’d like to go back, too. When I was there three years ago two of the trails were closed due to recent land slides so I’d like to explore those on another visit.

Love these doors, and door handles. One of these days, I’d love to return to Cinque Terre.
