Thursday Doors, 21/2/19: Orvieto

If you only have Norm’s side of the story, there were nothing but him, grand doors and enablers in Orvieto. Including bestia. My side confirms all this but adds an extra dimension that you always get when you see two sets of photo evidence from the same day.

This was only our first afternoon together and the first town we visited and yet we had such a great time already. Is this allowed?

While over there at Norm’s, the man behind Thursday Doors, you have been able to follow our Orvieto afternoon doorscursion on three consecutive Thursdays, here are some of my doors in one post. As I’ve told Norm: he might have better door photos, but I’ve got something better – him in action. Let’s have a look.

• 

  Do you remember these postboxes from Norm’s post? When I saw him take that photo, I knew that Italy is not wasted on this guy. Here he is no doubt thinking of the porchetta coming up.

• 

  Towards the cathedral.

• 

  Duomo, meet Norm!

• 

  Love at first site.

• 

  A Duomo reflection.

• 

  Happy Canadians with borrowed bestia. The shop says wine, the bench says Michelangeli.

• 

  Opposite the Duomo. 1835?

• 

  Norm’s photos make you think that we were alone. Not quite.

• 

  In his element.

• 

  A favourite. The shop hides “Orvieto” and a sun.

• 

  This was only the first door street like this.

• 

  Imagine the door potential.

• 

  And then there is level 2.

• 

  Arches count too.

• 

  Then we went a bit higher up for the view. Do you see the cathedral?

• 

  Well done, Indiana Joe and Banana Jones. On to the next town!
