Red Door by maggiemae

Red Door

This is a side door in an old Oamaru building still called the Drill Hall where 'drills' were held.

Three good things ( to follow @happypat and @judithg's lovely habit of doing so and allowing us into their lives):
1/- I was picked up by John going past in the car when I had decided to walk home from town in 5degC and with a wind chill factor of 2! My face was so frozen, I couldn't work my mouth to say thankyou!
2/- I managed to find space for a beautiful new glass fronted cabinet that is going to arrive but the cat's basket is in a different place (she will sulk).
3/-Lovely warm fire all day kept us warm while snow fell in Dunedin not far away!
Great find. I love red doors. Glad that John picked you up, lady!!

We had a Drill Hall in the town I grew up in. As with most things in childhood I didn't wonder at the name, but good to know why it was called that. I like your 3 good things.

Love, Love your three good things maggiemae....so original & a glimpse into your world!! Cold & a fire ...a bit like here LOL !!
A red door is a thing of beauty & I like the branches filling the foreground.
Cats can sulk big time!!

Love a splash of red

@happypat No, nobody does that, Pat but everybody recognises the name! You will love the movie - no violence, no sex (well, just a teeny bit) and lots of action and lovely scenes.

That a wonderful shot - the light, the red and the tree at the front all make it perfect! The cat won't be happy and they have ways of showing this displeasure!

I love your door's pop of red and the texture in the foreground. Hope your cat won't sulk too long!

Really pops out! I am used to Drill Halls as being the place you went to Drill...ie to practice your marching in the military!
May 29th, 2013  
I really love that red. Poor little cat ; ( I'm glad you were able to sit by the fire--hopefully your face thawed out ; )

This is such a lovely shot. I love red doors! The grasses in the front of the picture contrast so well. Fantastic lighting.

Love that bright pop of red. The shape made by the tree and bushes framing the door looks like an upside-down heart.
