Whenever we get up to the town of Taos in Northern New Mexico, I love to make it a point to stop by this place because it is a yard full of wonderful antique doors for sale. I believe the name of the establishment is Taos Doors (no website that I know of). They are just are few doors down (no pun intended) from a restaurant that is famous for it's diner food-and a favorite of the locals, called Michael's Kitchen. If you plan a trip to Taos, make sure you stop by to eat at Michael's-on weekend mornings, there is a line waiting to get seated, but they "turn 'em and burn 'em" pretty fast, so the wait is never horrendous.
Every week, a group of us from around the world post our shadow shots over at Hey Harriet. Entertain your muse and be amused by stopping by to see what others have posted!
You can also view all Shadow Shot postings I've done by scrolling all the way down and on the left side you will see an archive of labels for my posts. Look for Shadow Shot Sunday and click on that link for an "all you can view" buffet of shadow shots!

The southwest offers styles we miss in New England - the native and Spanish heritage is worlds away to me. The shapes are different, but what I like is the craftsmanship. Unlike modern doors that are made using computers and modern materials, these are made of wood. The woodworker used precise dimensions and were craftsmen, So the solid doors reflect the past...
love those doors...one of my favourite things to take pix of..I was in Taos 10 years ago and have great memories of travelling through New Mexico..
...and I'll pick door number 2 please...aren't you lucky to be able to bathe in the sun of Taos...how beautiful it is there...some day I'll get to visit the western states again, used to live in Colorado, love the desert and the mountains!
Have a wonderful weekend!

I adore those vintage doors, Lady. One of a kind and they give you those wonderful shadows. Very neat and your captivity is just fantastic.
Have a blissful Sunday.
Great old doors, and thanks for the tip, I hope sometime I will be able to use it!
New Mexico - it sounds so exotic to my Sydney ears! These doors make a terrific shadowy shot!
They are gorgeous and remind me of the doors I see at a shop near here, all antiques, imported from India. I just wish I had a house big enough for one.

What an enchanting photo. Each door looks as though it would open to a magic place.
Cool shot! A yard full of wonderful antique doors? Wow! Wish I could visit there. And Michael's Kitchen while I'm out that way. If ever I'm out that way :)
Some doors lead nowhere.
Some doors are just there, teasing
you to open them.

Those classic old doors look so well-designed. The arched ones evoke the Southwest to me, even though I've never been there.
Cool post! Thanks for stopping by.
now that would be a great place to browse for a new door!
I love your posts, and your photos, they are very different from others. Cool. Life as I See it
Ahhh, Michaels for breakfast.
I believe my first visit there was circa 1975!
Jjjjj
