Thursday Doors – March 16, 2017
This week’s submission to Norm 2.0‘s Thursday Doors.
Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favourite door photos from around the world.
“House of the War” – Art District, San Jose del Cabo
Today, I’m returning to yet another interesting door in San Jose del Cabo’s Art District. This one just screamed out “Take a picture of me!” It is such a bold and different door, though I’m not sure how practical it is, since the door panels overlap. It makes me wonder about the intent, both for the door and for the name of the art studio behind them. The bold red and painted flowers certainly got my attention.
Like last week, I checked out the door on Google Streetview and it looks completely different.
One final note on some of these facades, which is really what they are. What, at first glance, looks like concrete, is really, in most cases, styrofoam coated in adobe or plaster and painted to look like stone.
I do have to apologize for the quality of the image, which I usually take great pride in, but I was travelling in unknown parts and had to rely on my iPhone and harsh mid-day light.

Really colorful – love this theme
Ed, it’s definitely eye-catching and worth taking a shot of no matter what. I also wondered about the over-lapping doors! As for the iPhone, I take most of my shots with an iPhone, so no need to apologize.

I have no idea of how the overlap works. In fact, like so many photos, I missed that detail, as I snapped the photo and hurried to keep up with the rest of my family, who think I’m a bit bonkers for always photographing doors. It was the bright red and green that caught my attention.
Wow! What a name and what a door. I love how unusual it is and the great colour combination.
Yes, it’s a unique one. The colours ‘grabbed’ me.
Love the fabulous vibrant colors of the door and building.

Thank you
Great find Ed, between the colour and the overlapping panels it would be hard note to notice.
The colors do look like war:):) A great find!
Thank you
