" There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception." - Aldous Huxley
Telluride Colorado has a treasure trove of doors. I could have gone on forever. But alas, I want to get out there and ski today.
After photographing just a few, I went over to the local hardware store looking for some copper sheeting, so that I could use one of the photos and create an embossed metal painting, of sorts.
Unfortunately, a small piece of brass was my only option, so I went for it.
"Happiness often sneaks through a door you didn't know you left open." - John Barrymore
I enjoyed working with the brass, though it was much stiffer than the copper and I couldn't get rid of the shine.
My inspiration. Keep those skis handy.
Most of the town consists of very colorful Victorian homes. Beautiful details, some of which are covered by the massive snow they've received this year.
Let the sunshine in.
A door to the past. What a gorgeous patina this old building had.
The old bank from the 18oo's now sells goggles and sunglasses. Go figure.
The entrance to the old jailhouse has a message. Can anyone hear?????
The door to the ski lift operators hut. What a view from 14,000 feet!
Entrance to the Smuggler restaurant. Grab a chair lift and have a bite.
Even the dogs of Telluride have a colorful place to find some shelter.My door is open. Welcome.
