Whimsical Windows or Delirious Doors
Are these Whimsical Windows or Delirious Doors?! This is one of my favourite photos I took at Petra. The lines on the bottom right door remind me of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream.” We were not allowed into these caves.
It was a hot day and a challenging walk into the historical, archaeological city of Petra. So, for part of the way back, Michelle and I rode a camel.
Here is another “door” picture from Petra. The Treasury is one of the most photographed places in this city. Can you believe it wasn’t discovered until 1814?
I am linking this post to a photo meme hosted by I Wish I Were a Photographer. The subject matter: doors and windows or anything architectural.
Check it out to see what others have posted. Or link up your own photo.
Hat tip to Willow. I saw her photo and link to the Whimsical Windows or Delirious Doors meme. After reading what this is all about, I had to join in the fun.
Why don’t you join us by posting your own window or door photos?

I bet it would have been cool to have gone through those doorways (in more ways than one!)

I can understand you relating it to The Scream. Strange, huh?
If you are still interested in Little House on Rocky Ridge, email me with your contact information. I am hoping to get to the post office Thursday or Friday.

Petra is amazing to see in person! I was there in 1995…it was quite a fascinating walk into and out of that canyon!

Oh, I’m so excited that you found my meme, welcome aboard!
I have yet to visit Petra, but I’d like to some day. Your photos make it all the more tempting! I think that in your place, I would also be *very* tempted to go into those caves in the first shot, and I can also completely understand why it isn’t allowed
Have a great week!
