You know the way they talk about crazy cat ladies? I think I’m turning into the crazy door lady. Ha! I have friends who send me photos of doors they think I might like when they’re away on vacation, or tag me in posts of colorful doors in their neighborhood. I love that so many people feed my habit! But it’s a slightly strange thing to be getting a reputation for! There are just so many good Georgian doors in Dublin, I can’t help but snap photos of so, so many of them.
Ever wonder what the trickiest thing about photographing Dublin’s amazing doors is? I bet you have not, but I’m gonna tell you anyway! There isn’t a single straight line to be found. If the doors are straight, the wrought-iron gates are wonky. If the gates are straight, the stone steps are crooked. And now I’ve just revealed that the crazy door lady is also ever-so-slightly OCD as well. Uh oh!
Luckily, I’m not alone, at least in my love of Georgian doors if not the straight-line-only-quirk. Have you seen the Doors of Dublin Instagram account? All the best Dublin doors shared from Instagrammers around the city. It’s like drugs for the door-addicted. Or something.
The door above is my latest all-time favorite. I happened to catch this pair on just the right day when the clematis and blue bells conspired in that flowered path up to the most perfect pink and yellow doors.
If you’re a crazy door lady (or dude), have a peek at the Doors of Dublin Instagram account, and my Instagram feed as well, for the latest in Dublin doors.
