The first photo shows stairs leading to the Cesky Krumlov castle in the Czech Republic.
What I like about the dark door is how it emphasizes by contrast the bright colors in the walls on either side of it.
The other photo shows how the door was held open. The hardware looks like it could also be used to lock the door although I wonder if it is ever closed.

Great photos! Reminds me “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”
Blessings.

These are great photos, Frank. Thanks for including the detail on the mechanism. I agree, it looks like it serves multiple purposes. Ingenious design.

Thank you, Dan! The door was initially a puzzle to me, but I was glad it was open.

I am a member of the Open Door Church, so when I see doors I think of that verse too. Some doors swing both ways. Lovely photo Frank!
