OCOLOY Day 48: View through the front door today...

...all day - and it was cold. So on a day like this, when I'm still suffering from possibly the worst cold I've ever had, this is all you get. Actually, I quite like it - uncorrected barrel distortion and all... but I did get it straight, despite having the shakes!

This image is SOOC and is part of my ongoing OCOLOY project - you can read more about it in my post for 1 January and in my profile. I'm also tagging this for B&W February.

Viewing on black adds a little something, I think...

BoB on our block! Dark, stark reality check.

[Andrew]

Despite the cold a thoughtful shot, hope you are soon better and out enjoying the French countryside

[essiesue]

This is really quite nice as the doors are beautiful.

[Annie D]

I love this Richard - I am imagining someone looking out - someone in the times of Anne Frank maybe - it is bleak but at the same time hopeful

and I hope you feel better soon

[john morley]

Sorry to hear you are unwell, glad you are strong enough to pick up the camera and catch the scene through your window. Stay warm and maybe allow yourself a small hot dram..

[Richard Sayer]

@jack4john I've been settling for lots of paracetamol and hot lemon and large room temperature whiskeys on the side... note the spelling - it's Paddy!

[Skip Tribby - ​🖖]

I hope you get over your cold soon! This does look better against black!

[Joyce W.]

Feel better! I love the composition!

[gloria jones]

Great b/w shot, lines, symmetry, framing...goodness take care of yourself...the cold I had lasted 4 weeks...not a typical cold

[Maggiemae]

A really different window structure with the design making it stand out!

[Joan]

I like your door!! Get well SOON!

[Taffy]

Fun -- interesting window decor and I like the dual 'X's

[Ukandie!]

[maree_sanderson]

[Debs Stott]

It looks bleak outside. Sorry to hear you are still struggling with your cold. Hope is shifts soon.

[Issi Bannerman]

Lovely view and image. Get better soon!

[Andy]

This works well & good composition

[David]

I like the symmetry of this one and the fact that the focus point was the window/door so that you're left to wonder what lies beyond.

[Barb]

I like the way the door details stand out so strongly.

[Joan Robillard]

Hope you are feeling better soon.

[Tom]

Great tones and pov, hope you feel better soon Richard

[Kathy]

"X" marks the spot. Nice view. Take care of yourself and get well soon.

[David]

I like it too, Richard. Get well soon

[Rachel Withey]

Great feeling of being trapped
