Description
The red door with its wrought iron decoration stood out from the granite walls of this narrow street in the town of Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain.
The city has its origin in the shrine of Saint James the Great, now a cathedral and a destination for the many pilgrims who make the journey along the paths of Santiago on foot. The city dates back to medieval times and is an architectural student's delight with Romanesque, Gothic and Baroque masterpieces.

Mary, great color and contrast. Probably a good thing that the lighting was flat in this narrow street; otherwise from my own photography of doors I can imagine this deep red could go anywhere from bright red, to purple, to black. Great find and work. - Mike

Thank you, Michael. I have always found doors fascinating, wondering what was behind them and imagining that their appearance could tell me a bit about their owners.

Mary, Images of doors fascinate me, especially THIS one. This is such a superb image. Brilliant red ~~~with the black ironwork (as Ann Horn mentioned) complements the door colors.) F/V

Doors are always fascinating... I always wonder what is on the other side ;-) Thanks for stopping by and commenting, Anne!
