That is quite the barn door. Interesting as I've been thinking about calling my new series of paintings...edges...passageways... portals...openings...something along those lines. I'm fascinated with this sort of thing. The opening of one world into another. Sometimes I think I am the only one.
Wonderful photo, Dive. Out of the darkness, into the light...
Neetzy, your series of paintings featuring openings, passages, sounds wonderful to explore. Years ago I interviewed a painter who did a series of paintings featuring windows; eyes as windows of the soul. I often think of openings, doorways leading into other dimensions, other realms of reality....
Oooh, your new painting series sounds intriguing, Neetzy. I can't wait to see them take shape. You are not the only one with this fascination.
Ms.M, this door leads into the other reality that is Norfolk in May (note the hawthorn and elder in bloom). Inside, however, it really is another world. This is Waxham Great Barn, built around 1300 and now a museum filled with all manner of bizarre oddities.
I did some googling to read about it. What a place!
Neetzy, I think you'll find a lot of people are fascinated with such things. I took a series of photos of doorways when I was in England (too long ago). I didn't know much about taking photos then and they aren't very good, but I arranged them in a frame and they're still on my wall. There's something compelling and mysterious about a doorway, especially an ancient, arched one, that leads to somewhere you haven't been before.
Doorways are intriguing, Petrea. Like the Green Door you posted a week or so ago, how can we resist wanting to go through them? My own personal fascination is bridges. I love crossing them, standing on them, walking (or rowing) under them. Doors, bridges, I suppose some of us are drawn to boundary conditions.
Thank you everyone! I just wish I had the wonderful doors that you have in Norwich. My edges and openings have been edges of wood, paths and such. Perhaps I can incorporate a few more actual doorways.

Your edges sound so much more magical and enticing, Neetzy.
