Doorways Around the World

Most Usual Doorway

Nuno sent me an email with this image, saying: “This is the most usual doorway here. They are everywhere.” Nuno’s “most usual” doorway would be considered pretty spectacular if it were in my condo building. Photographer: Nuno Gonçalves of Porto Daily Photo. Taken in July 2006. This doorway is in Porto, Portugal.

Budapest Door

Marie has been working hard at posting pictures of doors, so I thought it was about time I got involved! This door was part of a very old building in Budapest. Later this year I will be going to Prague, and I’m sure I will be able to get some great door pics from there. Photographer: Chris H. of Newcastle Upon Tyne Daily Photo. This doorway is in Budapest, Hungary.

Broken Pediment

A triangular molding under a roof or above a doorway is called a pediment. This is a good example of a broken pediment, so named because the beam does not go all the way across the top of the door. To see an example of an unbroken pediment, see the Colonial Style door. Photographer: Kathrine of Copenhagen Daily Photo. Taken in June 2006. This doorway is in Copenhagen, Denmark.
