Photo Challenge: Mysterious Door
I have always enjoyed photography, but I haven’t been getting out as much to take pictures as I should. Recently, several folks in the AOL journal community decided to challenge each other to photograph Mysterious Doors. I found this over at Steven’s (Sometimes) Photoblog. One door immediately came to mind.
This door is on an old Quonset hut that is being overgrown by weeds at the back of a local business. The glass in the windows is long-since gone, replaced with old, rotting plywood. Weeds and bushes surround the old structure, which seems to be largely forgotten. There is a rusting latch on the door which is supposed to hold a padlock, but there is no lock. Someone could just walk right in and see what — or who — is on the other side.

Thanks for playing along.
A very neat picture. Do you get the urge to open it up and see what’s on the other side?

Actually, I did, but I had permission.
There were boxes of stuff and some old equipment of some kind, but some menacing-looking spiders just inside the doorway kept me from exploring any further.

Love it! When I was a little kid, there were still a number of Quonset huts at Syracuse University, left over from post-war expansion and GI Bill students. They were all gone by the time I got to college myself.
Here in Tucson, I know there’s still a decrepit one somewhere in the general vicinity of Rosemont, but I don’t remember exactly where. It always reminds me of the day so long ago when Mom first showed me the S.U. ones. And now you’ve done the same. Thanks! - Karen
