The Rusty Door

“Rust is change. Rust is a visible remnant of history…”
Arthur Kayzakian

"Doors are wonderful magical things that give you privacy but also open up a whole world for you.
When they are locked anything can be behind them!"
Urban Dictionary


The tag challenge ( http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/43004/are-you-ready-to-play ) seemed like a piece of cake but this one gave me fits so I went into the past for my entry.

Oatman Arizona is a old mining town which now survives as a tourist and burro mecca.

And what a story that door could tell. Love this rusty door - and your quotes.

That's great! This door invites to discover what it locks. Great captured.

I like such places too. The used entrance threshold caught my attention. That's the whole story.

What a fabulous feature that door is - so much character. The muted surroinding really highlight it too.

That looks like a solid lump of stone too. Is It?

You wonder what is behind that door

And the luck has escaped long ago because the horse shoe has been hung the wrong way...
Fine picture.

Great rusty door- sadly it wasn't taken in the time frame for the tag challenge but if it had been, I would have put it on the final list. But I can still fav it!

@kiwinanna Thank you so very much.

@judithtb There are just a few strange things in this town. Lots of burros that roam freely around town too.

@mv_wolfie Thank you a great deal.

@haskar I am often drawn to the more off the beaten path type things. Most grateful for the fav.

@robz Oatman is where Clark Gable and Carole Lombard spent their honeymoon. The mining industry has withered away but there still is a strong vibe to this town and it is on the original rt 66. Truly thankful for the fav.

@gamelee I wonder if this is like a locked porch to a mine? Not sure but it is in front of a hill. I think that it is made from bricks and then stucco'd or cemented over.

@ninaganci Thank you so much, truly am grateful for the fav.

@fbailey The ghost towns in northern Arizona have oodles of rust and cool stuff.
