Orange door



After such a long time, Alice found some interesting doors again! This one is taken in Shamshuipo, Hong Kong. Alice has to apologize for her photography. It was taken with a Digital Harinezumi, so she is not very good at centering the picture. There is no preview button, so Alice can't see whether she is actually aiming at the right angle or not. Perhaps this is also the beauty of the little top camera!

Anyway, it was a grayish day and the red building stood out among other old buildings. The orange door is absolutely spectacular!

Church door


Alice found this church door somewhere in Lisbon. She just loves the ornated arch over the door.
The door itself appears to be the prototype of doors in Lisbon - heavy wooden doors with 3 panels of pattern. It is quite difficult to take good pictures of doors in Lisbon as Alice was constantly standing on a slope or uneven cobble surface in narrow streets. It is difficult for her to get the picture to be right in front of the camera. Of course, the cobble streets are part of the charm of Lisbon.

Red Door...

Alice took her new toy camera Digital Harinezumi to Lisbon and found this red door. The camera is quite amazing because the colors came out very vividly. The fact that it is a digital camera/video camera also allows impatient Alice to see/upload her pictures immediately.

Alice found this red door in Lisbon, near the Castle of São Jorge. There are not many red doors in Lisbon and Alice just thought this door looks really impressive. Inside the door is a courtyard, then another red door. On the front door, the word 'palace' indicates that this may be a special building, but Alice couldn't find any information about it. It looks like one of those secret society from The Avengers TV shows.

What secret soceity operates behind red doors?

Futurist door...


Alice found this 'Futurist' door in Liverpool town centre...
The building itself is boarded up...is this a culture jam project?
It might actually be interesting to know what's behind the Futurist door...but Alice knew one thing...the smell of Future is definitely...#$xyz!!!

Tall tall building...no unauthorized entry

Alice went roaming with Fiona today and came across this service apartments building on Hollywood Road. This looks quite intimidating...

You need an access card to just get inside the building, it has a very corporate feel to it. It doesn't really feel like an apartment building, it looks more like a commercial one...does that explain the strange pattern on the outside wall?

It is a building with a door that said, 'No unauthorized entry'.

Where is the door?

Alice went to Mongkok to pick up some art supplies. On the way back to the train station, she saw this homeless guy relaxing under the bridge. He looks like he lives there. Don't worry, he has his shorts on. In fact, Alice saw him eating his bun.

The weather was really hot today, hope he is not going to have heat stroke.

Market doors...

This was taken last Sunday, Alice was typing in new entry but there was an unfortunate event with the internet connection. Everything was lost.

Alice loves going to Central on Sundays, it is so nice and quiet. These stalls are normally open, selling vegetables or tofu. On Sunday, the wet market looks very different.

It is so relaxing that people took the time to feed stray animals.
