The abandoned house that featured in last week’s photo challenge had a front door which I just loved, particularly in close up. So while I used the broken pane to show you a bit of the abandoned interior, let’s turn our attention to that broken door.
The door handle has been removed, the strand of a cobweb hovers over the keyhole, while each layer of paint is revealed one at a time.
It is not just the wood that has seen better days, as the jagged glass testifies.
To have a peep inside this abandoned house, through the broken pane, just visit the post Abandoned III.

Exquisite. Stunning. Spectacular. I’d stick around pouring out superlatives, my friend, but I need to save one or two for other times, don’t I. Love it, love it.

That close-up shot is amazing, MM.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many curled layers of paint.
This house is a great find – might be worth a few more visits to capture every little detail.

Why are we so drawn to rustic old peeling paint? We’d never put up with it at our own house, yet there we are sighing at its beauty anyway, lol. Love the photo!

MM. Lovely image with its layer upon layer of history. It tells a story of how well kept it was in its day… and the good colour sense of its previous owner/owners! P
