Thinking Aloud: Through this door ....

Through this door ....

during a recent outing in Johannesburg, I came across this old building with the

most glorious doorway .... perfect arch with fine detail - the best part (for me)

was the weathered and worn look....

Gena D said...: @ewok : Hello!
I stumbled upon it ..... it's an old prison complex which is now touristy .... quite a few old doors windows but these were by far THE best ... right at the end (to my delight!!!)
PS>I am always on the hunt for good scenes, hence have a camera with me at least 80% of the time ....; May 13, 2010 at 3:46 PM
