Ahhh, this is a thread for me. I love doors--especially old, fancy ones in Europe (which is where we've been for the last 18 months). Here are 10 of my favorites... the first 2 are from an Art Nouveau-era house in Lyon, France (inside and outside), the 3rd is from one of the doors into Notre Dame cathedral in Paris, the 4th is from a door of the medieval Nidaros cathedral in Trondheim, Norway, and the 5th is from the famous Baptistry doors in Florence, Italy (by Ghiberti, if I remember my art history correctly).
