When I travel I like to take pictures of doors, especially in the Mediterranean. Since people live in apartments or attached row houses it is their door that often distinguishes their home. In the Iberian peninsula and Morocco there were lots of interesting wooden doors in homes, palaces and cathedrals. I love the different colours and textures. In some cases the photo is more about what is around the door than the door itself and in some cases the door compliments it's surroundings. Here are some examples.
