I don’t always have a door dash, but when there is only my investigator for company, I can gather 77 door photos in 25 minutes. Today the first six minutes of it.
Soon after moving to Tuscany six years ago, I saw that Suzanne Vega was about to have a concert in Gavorrano one hour away. The name meant nothing to me and I assumed it was a middle-sized city with avenues and tourist crap by the sea. Obviously I didn’t know yet where I’d moved to.
It took me six years but in April I was in the neighbourhood, saw the sign pointing to it and off I went. Immediately I realised how wrong I was. It’s a hilltop town like many, with gorgeous brickwork like many, with a parade of doors like all.
Since I mention her (I heard her live twelve years ago in Austria), here is the soundtrack: Suzanne’s song about another city. Now that I’ve been around Gavorrano, I cannot imagine where she had her concert, but it must have been amazing.
Today we commence, and at least two more Thursday Doors posts will follow. You know, for Norm. Six minutes was all it took for these twenty images.
Here we go. Immediately pretty. 
Countdown. 
Police. 
Look back. 
Great brick. 
Great door. 
All sorts.

From the hip. 
Up front. 
Multi-level. 
If the door gets thirsty. 
This and that.

The door queen.

Dog alert, cat alert, Welcome and Home. 
Good night, Gavorrano. We’ll be back.

These are beautiful doors, Manja, but today, I am struck by the wonderful stone walls and walks. It’s just amazing to me.

You saved the best for last! Those double doors with the stars on the windows is my favourite 🙂
It looks like such a lovely town, the streets should be brimming with people strolling around.

Thank you, Joanne. Well, I suppose in the summer months there are people strolling around, even though it must be really hot then. Also, there are countless towns like this one, and most tourists prefer the usual suspects. Which is good, there are never crowds.

Another lovely old town with more awesome doors than you can shake a stick at: they’re everywhere!
Fun post. Looking forward to seeing the rest in upcoming posts.

Hehe, thanks, Norm. You know exactly how it is. I saw you go from initial must-get-all to the onset of door snobbery. 😀 But yes, always a good time to start planning the next visit. 🙂

Hihi, quite, SMSW. 20 seconds is plenty. It’s like going through blogs of those who only post one photo in every post. Imagine how many of those you can look at in 20 seconds. 😉
