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.

A metaphorical door...

Alice went to Mongkok for vinyl hunting and was surprised to see Wing Lo (羅金榮) doing his street performance. Wing Lo is a door to Alice because she bought 'Come Out and Play', a compilation indie CD several years ago and fell in love with Wing Lo's track, 非禮. Since that CD, Wing Lo appeared to have dropped out of the Hong Kong indie music radar.

But his song opened a door to great indie music for Alice.

It was great to hear him sang last night, and bought his CD. Hope Wing Lo will be back to the indie scene soon!
