There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.
~ Aldous Huxley
Doors are like the ‘face’ of a house. They speak a lot about your home. The door gives an impression of the taste of the homeowner. Sometimes the colors, carvings and architectural design of a doorway can represent the essence of a culture or tradition of that particular region where you see it. These typical Rajasthani doorways in Mehrangarh Fort speaks of the grandeur and extravaganza of aristocratic Rajput lifestyle of medieval era. I love the arches and intricate carvings on this door. What about you?
Published in response to the Daily Post Weekly Photo Challenge: Door.
The quote was the inspiration for the name of the iconic 1960s American rock band, The Doors. But, perhaps you already knew that. Anyway, the pics are lovely.

I completely agree that happiness sneaks in through a door. That’s why we should never close the eyes of our mind. Keep it always, for we never know like opportunity, when it will knock for happiness as well.
