253 Rua Quintino Bocaíuva, Amparo, SP, July 2002
I have been enamored of this door in Amparo ever since coming there.
One night, when the TV's were blaring, and the nephews were particularly
annoying... I happened to notice the sunset... I grabbed my camera and
ran to the door... something told me that it was going to be
good. Seconds later the sun fell behind the hill, and the street lights
came on. It has been a mainstay on my homepage ever since.

Sonia came to spend the weekend in Amparo, and we were obliged to show her the sights. As we wandered about in
the mighty Fiat, I drove by the door. I had to take a picture, of
course... I love this door because they paint it every year, and leave
the rest to nature.

Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, Brasil, July 2004
I stayed at a great little place down the hill from
this door. It is on the side of a church, where at night local
kids come to make love and smoke
maconha behind the wall. But during the day, one might walk through
the church yard to the
posada.
It was really cold, and I stopped and noticed the door. Green and yellow
are the Brazilian national colors.

Its not often that a door has its own saint. I am
convinced that whatever 94 has behind it, is most important.

Fazenda Dois Engenhos, near Amparo, SP, July 2004
This is the door to an outhouse on an old coffee farm.
The buildings were about 200 years old. There were plants in the
garden that were given to the owners by Dom Pedro II, the last Emperor
of Brazil.

Yreka, California, October, 2004
Some doors just mean a lot to me. They may not
necessarily be the prettiest doors at all, but it may have history and
meaning and in this case, a lot of love. There is a noise this
door makes as you open it, and it slams shut, that makes me miss my
Grandmother, still. This house was built by my Uncle for her, when
he was 16 years old.

Colonia
del Sacramento, Uruguay, July 2005
On a trip to Uruguay, we took a
tour to this town about 50 km across the Rio de la Plata from Buenos
Aires. They had a number of old cars parked like this so you could sit
and take a picture.

Montevideo, Uruguay, July 2005
Montevideo is a lovely
city, with an old part that is full of amazing buildings with no means
for restoration. This one hosted a group of English sparrows
who were busy coming in and out of the second floor.

Montevideo, Uruguay, July 2005
Despite being a gray city
overall, there are these shocking points of color. As the city
finds a way to restore its older parts, they are beginning as well to
paint the buildings with color.
