Doorway to heaven?


Today is September 1st and like on the 1st of each month it's a City daily photo blog theme day. And the theme of today is... Doorways. There are plenty of nice doorways in Paris, of course, but I chose this one which is the artists entrance to... The Moulin Rouge. Much less appealing than the real entrance but much more original (And sooooooooo Parisian Wako!).

42 Daily Photo sites are participating in this theme today. Please use the links to below to visit them. Due to time zone differences and other factors, the theme photo may not be displayed until later if you are viewing early in the day.

  8. Interesting "back" entrance. The showgirls can even have a Quick burger before going onstage by the looks of the sign nearby. Wouldn't be good for their figures though I guess!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I thought the door to heaven was on a cloud, with little angels flying by in the mist and a white-bearded old man holding a key. It seems that is only a simple brown door next to a burger house. I wonder how the doorman looks like.

    Greetings from Athens to all of you.

  13. just love the iron grill work on it :)

  14. Michael : I'm surprised you made no comment about the text on the Quick sign : "Nous c'est le goût", in relation with the artists of Le Moulin Rouge. I'm sure you might think about something spicy… Unless you've decided lately to avoid "skuds" and turn politically correct !
    ;o)

  15. Cool doorway Eric! And I love the design of the iron grill too :)

  24. Love the dark wood and fancy work over the window of the door! Is that iron work, Eric?

    ReplyDelete
  25. Thanks Eric. I see now that it's an exterior door. From the lighting I thought it was indoors. I just noticed the street sign. I hadn't noticed the name on the street sign until Barbscoot's comment. I wonder. . .?! ;^)
    (Barb- you might check out renting someone's apartment, as well as checking hotels. You might find just what you want at a more affordable price and a few more ammenities for the kids.)

    Eric, this theme put me in mind to request something: if you get over to the Musee Rodin sometime, could you give us your take on "The Gates of Hell"? Thanks!

  32. All schools, all colleges, have two great functions: to confer, and to cover, valuable knowledge.
