The Doors of Greece – ΟΙ πορτες και μια καπως επΕτειος

Sharing is caring!

Today is my nameday!  It is also my year and a half blogoversary!  

Who cares?  No one, except me!  I wrote a  post last year about my 6 month blogoversary and I wanted to reflect a bit on that and talk about doors. 

As in opening doors.

As in, it was about this time last year, when something clicked and doors began to open for me, literally because I met so many wonderful bloggers and figuratively because a door opened in my brain and all this creativity and inspiration rushed in. 

​And so we have a photo essay on the doors of Greece and a sorta blogoversary.

Σήμερα γιορτάζω.  Επίσης είναι η επέτειος ενός χρόνου και έξι μηνών μου για το  μπλογκ!

Και τι σας νοιάζει; Είχα γράψει μια ανάρτηση για τους έξι μήνες εδώ και ήθελα να  μιλήσουμε για  πόρτες.

Έτσι όπως ανοίγουμε πόρτες.

​Έτσι όπως, ήταν τέτοια εποχή πέρσι, όταν κάτι έκανε “κλίκ” και πόρτες άρχισαν να ανοίγουν για εμένα, κυριολεκτικά γιατί γνώρισα τόσα υπέροχα άτομα-μπλόγκερς. Μεταφορικά γιατί μιά πόρτα “άνοιξε” στο μυαλό μου και μπήκε μέσα όλη η έμπνευση.

Εδώ έχουμε ένα συλλογή φωτογραφιών για πόρτες και μια κάπως επέτειος.

I’ve been collecting photos of doors for about a year. 

Εδω κι ένα χρόνο μαζεύω φωτογραφίες με πόρτες.

Some are very ornate.

Μερικές είναι πολύ περίτεχνες.

Some have arches and gates. 

Μερικές έχουν αψίδες και πύλες.

Και έρχονται σε πολλά χαρούμενα χρώματα.

Gates are also doors. They open and let us into our imagination.  Some are worn and have a look of blissful decay. 

Οι πύλες είναι επίσης πόρτες. Ανοίγουν και μας αφήνουν να φανταστούμε. Μερικές είναι φθαρμένες και μοιάζουν σαν να έχουν ομαλή φθορά

Doors.  We open them and discover a whole new world. 

Πόρτες. Τις ανοίγουμε και ανακαλύπτουμε έναν ολόκληρο νέο κόσμο.

I figured it was time to share them with you all because I had collected quite a few. It was also interesting to look back on last year’s post and see that this blogging gig has in fact become my occupation and  the commenters are all friends of mine.  I hope you enjoyed my  photo essay on the doors of Greece and my sorta blogoversary.  It’s time to celebrate, I hope you all have a glass of wine, on me!

Σκέφτηκα ότι ήταν καιρός να τα μοιραστώ με όλους σας, γιατί είχα συλλέξει αρκετά. Ήταν επίσης ενδιαφέρον να κοιτάξω πίσω στην ανάρτηση του προηγούμενου έτους και κατάλαβα  ότι όντως το μπλογκινκ ειναι επαγγέλματα και ότι οι σχολιαστές έχουν πράγματι γίνει καλοί φίλοι μου. Ελπίζω να σας άρεσαν οι φωτογραφίες μου για τις πόρτες και πόρτες και μια κάπως επέτειος. . Ήρθε η ώρα να γιορτάσουμε, και πιείτε ένα ποτήρι κρασί από μένα.

Wow, they do have some very beautiful doors in Greece. I haven't seen such beauties around my city. Some of the doors are so pretty, they can be a great inspiration for paintings.

Indeed they can and I mostly concentrated on the older doors.

Wow! It's a big day for you! I hope YOU are enjoying that glass of wine...well deserved. I just had to smile when I read your post and saw your photos...we have so much in common. I too love to take photos of doors, but I have to admit that your doors are way cooler than the doors I have around here. When I'm in Europe, I always come back with great door photos. Someday I'd like to paint some of them. Happy Name Day and Happy Blogversary. Hugs, Lynn

You are speaking to the DIYer in me... painting doors. Now that would definitely be fun. Some of these doors are very old and in horrid shape while others have been maintained to look fabulous no matter the age. Thank you dear Lynn for the well wishes and we can both enjoy that wine from our computer desks for now.

Happy Sorta Blogoversary Mary! What a beautiful collection of doors you've got here, a great idea for a collage!! Love the bright blue ones!!! But the real rustic worn ones are as beautiful! I'll have a cup of coffee on you now, and a glass of wine later, ok?

Mary

Ok Just make sure you don't forget the wine. I know you only think about coffee all the time.

They are quite unique Krista. I was looking out for them for about a year. Just imagine if I had my camera with me all of the time, this collection would never end.
