Great choice! Love these images!
ReplyDeletegreat capture. it has such style
ReplyDeleteJilly this is a great shot, showing something of the way of life in your area. I also like the peep through the open door.
ReplyDeleteNice capture. Those bags look familiar. One of my renovation jobs I used similar bags:)
ReplyDeleteFascinating door and doorways. I hope trash day is coming soon.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful old doors and stairs!
ReplyDeleteLove the colours of the doors, Jilly. The little id badge on each panel makes the door look a bit like a fiing cabinet. The workmen are very neat and tidy which is a bit unusual in my part of the world!
ReplyDeleteBoth fine images, I like the everyday look!
ReplyDeleteamazing that these are picked up in the rubbish collection, here we'd have to get rid of it ourselves
ReplyDeleteThe bags of rubble are not picked up in the normal rubbish collection. They are probably waiting there until the builder drives his van down to load them up. Just that you can't leave a van parked in Rue Longue - there isn't much room for passing and certainly no room for a skip.
ReplyDeleteExcellent one! Je n'y aurais jamais pensé.
ReplyDeleteWow. They do things so neatly there! In most construction or renovation sites here, rubble stays on the yard and spills onto the road until the end of the project.
ReplyDeleteThose old French passages really make you feel like you are going back in time!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you showed the open doorway. I can feel the light layer of dusty, smell the cool musty air; so many of these places are being renovated, but I guess they have to. Thanks to us photographers, we can preserve them.
ReplyDeleteSuch a wonderful slice-of-life shot. I love everything about this.
ReplyDeleteReno is fine but I do hope they will be kind to these lovely old doors and not make them look too "new"! And I agree that the construction site is neatly bagged.

Good grief! Those are big bags! I can't imagine how much they weigh! Great contrast, a door like this to an American looks like it would never change, construction seems so contrary to it.

At first I thought the sanitation department was on strike .. I'm please to read that this a renovation project and I'm impressed with the care involved in bagging the rubble.
ReplyDeleteOriginal choice, perfect one!
ReplyDeleteI wonder how many centuries old the materials are that are now considered construction debris, but if it modernizes the interior to continue the livability of the building, I guess it is worth it.
ReplyDeletesuperbes portes vieilles et colorées
ReplyDeleteTwo great photos and a good take on theme day. I like how the rubble is piled up in bags. Looks like it might topple over at any moment!
ReplyDeleteThe yellow makes it. Nice image!
ReplyDeleteI would prefer to think of them as marshmallows. I lost track of details again and thought today was contrast theme. At least I came up with something, even if my timing was off.
ReplyDeleteI laughed when I saw this photo. It looks like they really want to prevent people inside from escaping!
