“Suppose you should be walking down Broadway after dinner, with ten minutes allotted to the consummation of your cigar while you are choosing between a diverting tragedy and something serious in the way of vaudeville. Suddenly a hand is laid upon your arm. You turn to look into the thrilling eyes of a beautiful woman, wonderful in diamonds and Russian sables. She thrusts hurriedly into your hand an extremely hot buttered roll, flashes out a tiny pair of scissors, snips off the second button of your overcoat, meaningly ejaculates the one word, ‘parallelogram!’ and swiftly flies down a cross street, looking back fearfully over her shoulder.” (The Green Door by O. Henry)

Tiny door or big graffiti? Not so attractive
A sad, but great shot, Jose! Have a wonderful weekend!!
Usually I hate to see graffiti but this shot has such interest and draws the viewer in.
I wonder if there are any abandoned buildings in your community that lack graffiti? Yikes!
Looks like an Alice in Wonderland kind of door!
,,, and a little bit messy .
This is a cool photo.
It surely feels abandoned.
I agree with Judy, it does draw the eyes all around.
I know I'm not supposed to like it, but I can't help myself — I do! Great colors and composition and I love the scrolled iron work over the window.
