Count (Do)Orlock for #doorsday 🦇 🧛‍♀️

I realize I didn't do a great job of showing the lights going on and off in the last post because it's quite difficult to scroll through the pictures quickly. So, I've learned a new skill and made a bad GIF! I promise to now retire (Do)Orlock, for a bit. 😂 (The rest of this post is the same as the previous one!)

This door is one of the side doors from the Collegio di Spagna - part of the University of Bologna and operational since the 14th century. It is a college for Spanish Students and it is the oldest in the world open to foreign students. (More on this cool building later!)
I spent more time on this than I care to admit and how I arrived at this magnum opus/possible cry for help has been surprising - even for me. 😂 I would love your opinions on in the comments!
I hope you like it and it makes you smile! ✨

(Scroll back and forth quickly through pictures 2-5 for the best experience 😂
Watch his hand!)

A black and white photo of the wall of a building from a street. On the left hand side there is a small arched window. On the right hand side an vaulted door with studs on it. in the foreground between the window and door is a small bollard at street level.
The same scene as previous. This time there is a tall, pale faced man (Count Orlock from Nosferatu) standing in the doorway with his hand on a light switch.
Nearly exactly the same scene as before but darker. This time his hand is lower down as he has flipped the light switch off.
This is a repeat of the second photo. Count Orlock holding the lightswitch in the on position. The scene is back to being bright.

Looking Wist(eria)fully... for #doorsday 🪻

Door with a lovely long haircut in the centre of Bologna - Peter, I imagine, was reminiscing about when he had ̶h̶a̶i̶r̶, I mean, wisteria. ✨

(This joke got his seal of approval before posting! 😂✨ It's just playful banter!)

Porta Castiglione for #Doorsday

🤓"But that's not a door, you f*cking idiot!"
Well, in Italian it is. Porta = Door. So, if you have any problems with that - take it up with the country of Italy.
Porta Castiglione was first built in the middle of the 13th century and then given a spruce in the 15th century. Back in the day, it was part of the city walls used to protect the centre - it was a machiocolated rampart (which means it was used for defensive purposes to keep undesirables out). Thankfully, it's not used for that purpose anymore, so now I can live here. ✨

🎶 Come on, Baby, Light my Fire 🔥 🎶 - T̶h̶e̶ D̶o̶o̶r̶s̶ This Door #Doorsday

There was a little accident and a car caught fire and damaged the door. (Nobody was hurt, everyone is fine! ♥️). It happened a while ago - they just haven't replaced the door -
Must have known Doorsday was coming! 🤭

Want to See Mordor? Sorry, More Door? #doorsday

No, this little door is not in the Shire. We're in Giardini Margherita in Bologna. This little hut is a reconstruction of a Villanovian dwelling. The Villanovians (900-550 BCE) are the first Etruscan inhabitants of the Bologna we know today. This is probably also the only house in Bologna that AirB&B don't have their grubby little hands on... yet.

🔔 Ring Ring! 🔔 It's #Doorsday!

Here we have the front door to Casa Caccianemici in Bologna. Last week for window Friday I showed you one of its windows.
Some of the building dates back to the 13th century, other parts to the 15th century. It used to be home to the Passapoveri tower. "Caccianemici" means "to throw out/get rid of enemies" - so I guess as long as you are on good terms with the homeowners you're fine! 😂

"Open The Noor!" It's #Doorsday! 🚪
Being a bit cheeky with this door - as it's a door within a door - Doorception ✨

The open door is part of Il Palazzo Monti Poi Salina, this version - built between 1736 and 1738. One of the courtyards has a well dating back to the 14th century, oh and the palazzo was used as a bomb shelter during World War II.
There's like a web designer office or something across the road - I don't know much about it to be honest! 😂
