The weather here in the UK has not been very good over the last week, today it’s -3C / 27F, grey and snowing with a 23mph wind blowing, so I’m staying indoors with the cats. I have had to raid my Doors Archive folder for this “Thursday Doors” post over at the excellent Norm 2.0 blog, do check it out.
Railway Doors
A Cup Of Tea !
While most people stick to photographing the steam trains I like to wander around the storage areas.
Mainline
This one is shot on film at the main station in town.
Around The Town
I think this is the entrance ! another film camera shot.
A Touch Of Egyptian
This old factory door seems to have an Egyptian style about it.
The next two were from a PhotoWalk with the PhotoBuddies two weeks ago.
At The Top Of Constitution Hill
And Just Opposite
Great pictures, as always. I wonder if the railway carriage doors of your first few photos were taken at Vic Berry’s scrapyard on Western Boulevard? The old Great Central Railway Braunstone Gate Goods Yard when the railway connected Leicester to Marylebone? If so, the photos must be over 25 years old.

Thank you, I have photo’s from Vic Berry’s but these were taken at The GCR Loughborough only about 4 years ago.

Those were fun. I like the almost triangular building that goes with that second to the last door.

Love that blue “entrance” door. I hope the weather gets better soon. We’re used to those temps, in fact we’d consider it downright mild for February. However, when it’s not something you’re prepared or equipped for it can be quite difficult to deal with.

Thanks Norm. It’s always damp and cold over here, never get that dry cold.

My little Oly EPL1 does just fine for doors, would love an Oly OMD EM5 MkII though.
