I found a couple of wonderful doors in Jordan and I’m excited to share them with you. This time I also have a new feature: doorways with me in them, made possible because those are photos taken by my friend Margaret. Several of the doors are historic doors. Hadrian’s Arch, for example, may have more people passing through it now than in the 5th century when it was erected in the heart of a city. Thank you, as always, to Norm Frampton, who is the main reason I remember to pay attention to doors when I might not otherwise. My experience is always richer when I do.
(Also PS, my heart goes out to those injured here in Jerash only a week after this photo was taken, when a disturbed person jumped the gate and began randomly attacking tourists and staff with a knife. There were no deaths, but there was hospitalization and fear and sadness. As much as I have championed the safety and cleanliness and ease of travel in Jordan, I am reminded that nowhere are we truly safe from a human being in pain and lashing out. Remember to be kind. You may unknowingly be putting salve on a wound.)

Wow this must have been an amazing trip!
That first door is wonderful but that monastery in Petra takes the prize.
Thanks for sharing these 🙂
Thanks for your comments, Norm. Yes the trip was amazing and I agree with you that the Monastery was the most astonishingly incredible sight of the trip. We had to hike quite a while to get to it, too, which made it even better.
A beautifully varied selection – and I’m happy to see the B/W again 🙂
That’s what my friend Will told me, too: that this collection has a wide variety. Glad you like that BW, it’s hard to get good photos of me when I’m the one holding the camera, and I’m terrible at taking selfies. I’m glad Margaret took so many on our trip.
Fun shots of you in doorways, Crystal. Plus some magnificent doors! The black and white is my favorite.
Thanks Curt!! The BW photo of me is looking through an ancient Roman doorway. It’s small, that’s why I’m crouched. Not sure what it was a doorway to. It was set out in a courtyard of Umm Qais so that it could be easily admired, and it was Margaret’s idea for me to go behind and look through. She is good at making up fun shots.
The size of the door adds to its charm, Crystal. And good for Margaret to see photo-ops. 🙂 –Curt
Oh wow, such great collection of amazing doors, Crystal.

Thank you Teresa. It was fun to dig through my photos looking for doors that would be fun to show to you. When I gathered them all, it turned out to be such a crazy mix of doors, ha ha!
That’s why it’s always fun to join challenges. Have a good day.
Uuuu, these are some splendid doors and a mean machine of a camera! The first green one is hard to top, and then you almost do it with all the next ones. Great to see, thanks!
Funny, that green door made me think of you!! I guess my instincts about you are right, ha ha.
But of course they are right. I have much trust in your instincts. You know!
Yes, we are Sisters From Another Mister. 🙂 Also, you mentioned the camera – yes! Now you know my crutch. Anyone takes great pictures when you’ve got a massive lens like that one.

Just wow!
Ha ha! 🙂
