I have always been fascinated by doors not only because of their meaning in architecture but also of their metaphorical importance in people's lives. A door is simply more than just a door. You can find in all kinds of cultures sayings, proverbs and quotes about doors. Here are some examples*:
Many open a door to shut a window. ~ Dutch Proverb
Kind words will unlock an iron door. ~ Kurdish Proverb
Beware of the door with too many keys. ~ Portuguese Proverb
When God shuts one door, He opens another. ~ Arabian Proverb
As a traveler with huge interest in photography it has become a tradition for me to walk on unknown streets and look for interesting doors. Here are some of my favourite photos taken in the last few years. Enjoy.

Enjoyed. It's strange how most of them are quite inviting but some you couldn't pay me to go through. And that's without knowing anything about them.
