Photo Friday – Doors, Doorways & Entries

 This Week’s theme for Photo Friday is entitled: 

“Doors, Doorways, & Entries…. to the soul, the house, a city, whatever…”

 

 

This theme immediately drew my attention to two photos I have taken.   I have a photo that I absolutely love that I took a couple years ago.   This first photo became one of my favorites immediately, along with my customers.   I sold numerous copies at arts and craft fairs/farmer’s markets, as well as a 16 x 24 framed and matted piece at our local Manitou Springs Business of Arts Center.    The below photo is taken on Gold Camp Road, in Manitou Springs/Colorado Springs area.  

 

 

A couple weekends ago, I discovered another tunnel while camping with my boyfriend that looks similar to the above photo.   I asked him to pull over so I could photograph it…..and the below photo is the result.  I think I am onto something here…..I tend to like to collect photos with a theme, so these two photos are in my new “Tunnels” theme collection.  This particular photo was taken at a place called Eleven Mile Canyon just outside of Florissant, Colorado, which is near Colorado Springs as well. 

 

 I love the fact that you can see through the tunnel to the other side where it is light and inviting.  A good thought for me right now……my boyfriend just moved to Texas and I am feeling pretty sad about that.  So, it is a good thing to remember that when we are in the middle of a dark tunnel,  there is light ahead……do you suppose that the whole saying about when we die there is a light at the end of the tunnel has more to do with what is at the end, not visually but spiritually and physically?  Hmmmm…..

Hope you enjoy these as well.
