A door opened and I went through it. ~Temple Grandin
Sally's prompt for us this week-
"Let's open some doors to see what awaits us on the other side.
Is it a door that holds opportunity?
A door that holds a story?
Is it a door you have been hesitating to open?
Is a gate to a new life?
A door to a new adventure?
Is it a door that holds a memory?
Is it the perfect door for a simple picture?
You have arrived at the door for a reason, open it up and step in!"
I knew it was only a dream
and yet I found myself wanting,
no, needing
to step over the threshhold
walk through the archway
see what awaited on the other side
Now I find myself thinking
Was it really a dream?
Or have I been awake the whole time?
The vision is etched in my memory
haunting
lingering.
Last Sunday, as I was on my way to Baltimore to the ACC show,
I passed what looks like an old cemetary with one wall still standing of a chapel perhaps?
As soon as I saw that doorway, I knew it was the one.
It was raining still at the time so I stopped on my way back home and grabbed a few shots which I then played with in post processing.
Step inside The Studio Sublime to see what everyone else captured this week
