Evora Doors, Windows, Stairs and Streets

Doors, windows, stairs, and a street scene.  From wandering around Evora.

I think this is Igreja de Sao Francisco.

This is the entrance to the palacio of the Duke de Cadaval.

Apparently a famous window in Evora.  Don't know why its there, but a lot of fun to look at.

Stairway to heaven.

Classic European narrow road.  Cars can go down this way, though it is a one-way drive.

Entranced, I'm Sure

Some entrances in Miami Beach. 

1849.  With the requisite palms on either side. 

An art deco flavor, and a slight overhang to keep the slashing rain off while you fumble for your key.  

A condo association on the beach.  And a find-the-photographer moment as well.  Please clean your sand.  

Doors of Lisbon

A few more doors in Lisbon. 

This was found while walking towards Rossio.  It looks like the right hand door had its hand removed.  Even though you know its a sculpture, its still a little spooky.  We saw a few of these doors in Portugal, and not just in Lisbon. 

22A:  The shadow of the name of the establishment is partially visible at the top.  

A great door if you can afford it.  

Doors of Lisbon

Lots of interesting doors and windows in Portugal.  Here are a pair of doors.  Not the wide huge glitzy doors of churches or manor homes, but downtrodden, hurting domiciles, still with character. 

This house is not being cared for, look at the untended weeds and lack of paint.  This is in Miratejo. 

This in Lisbon.

Doors of COC

Doors are a favorite photography target of mine.  Here we see the doors of COC. 

Pico Canyon Hall loading dock doors.  I expect Darth Vader to enter through these. 

Plain vanilla generic doors.  

 

This is the Fire Sprinkler Riser room 103.  Two doors for the price of three.  

You wouldn't want just anyone to use these restrooms.  Protection at all costs.  

Awesome blue with security trash can guard.  

Gateway to another dimension.  

I expect to see a dairy case behind this door.  Don't know why.  Seems like a complicated contraption when they could have installed a regular door.  

Reflections on the floor from door windows.  

Around the other side, they have the non-emerging technologies.  That's a dirty room.  

Left handers enter through the right door, and right handers enter through the left door.  Is that clear?  And there is drainage in case the building floods.  

Corridors of Power

Corridors and doors and throughways at UCLA.

Corridor through construction, adjacent to Pauli Pavilion. 


Canyon alongside Engineering 4. 

See through C(N)SI building to the parking lot behind and the transportation building in the distance.  This room obviously has a wonderful view of the parking lot. 


See through the emergency exit to the parking lot behind. 



Corridor of power, Biology building. 



Bustling corridor of power, Center for the Health Sciences.  And yes, it is always this busy.  Two or three blocks in front of us, at least a block behind us.  Match this Pentagon!

Door Number One or Door Number Two or Door Number ...

We do a study of doors and parking signs adorning the Engineering 4 building. Which door should I take? Can I park there? Stop? What kind of directions are there for each door? Which one has the all expenses paid vacation for 2 behind it? Which one has the goat?

Stop. And don't block the door. Emergencies exit from this door.


And behind door number 1. But remember: No stopping.


Extra bonus non-door picture. Still no stopping anytime. It's dangerous because of the high voltage.


What's behind door number 2? Still no stopping!

Now we're up to door number 3. Have you made your choice? Now you can stop, but you can't park.

Door Number 4. Turn off your engine. Does that mean I can park?


Two doors 5 and 6 for the price of one. This decision is killing me. Now you have to turn off your engine, but the yellow sign says you can stay for 20 minutes!


This door is a toughie: Turn off your engine, but no parking!


Door number 8 is a little shy, hiding out left of center.
Bob, I'll take door number 9. Don't STOP me now! Just because I can't park there.


A final unnumbered bonus door. This must have the goat.

UCLA doors and windows

Doors and windows are the eyes of a building.  Look in to see what character the building has.  Is the door inviting?  Are people in evidence behind the windows?  Or are trees lurking nearby?

Engineering 404 is welcoming you into its bowels.  Enter and immediately decide which way to continue. 

I've previously posted a picture of these prison windows.  This is where students serve detention and faculty on probation work. 

But the campus is really beautiful with modern accouterments.  And how did they get those trees inside the building?

Math sciences window puts on a light show.  

Earth and Space Sciences (what's left then?) lights and door.  1 of 2.  

Earth and Space Sciences lights and door.  Do we really need that outdoor light on now?  2 of 2.  

A series from Neuroscience Building.  Great windows.  Good thing they don't do top secret research there.  Notice the lab technician hanging just inside the window.  

The reflection of the building in the door is kind of neat.  But wait, the one door is open, and we're still getting a reflection.  Then I realized this is actual a see-through to the building on the other side of this building.  

Close-up of Neuroscience window.  This one not needing cleaning.  Reflection in the foreground.  

And another view of the Neuroscience windows.
