Didn’t feel like diving into the dictionary today so I’m taking the visual perspective with the letter X. This is an old cellar door in our open air museum park; photos from back in the summer.
Beautiful x photos! I read your story about the narrow escape! In former days there were no elevators and people just invented all kind of ways to get the heavy loads of laundry downstairs. In one of the mansions there was a kind of chute which was used to convey the dirty laundry down. How they took the wet clothes upstairs I don't know how ever. Anyway I wish you a very happy new year without any problems in the lift. Take care!
Absolutely perfect choice for the letter X.
ReplyDeletePhotos work for me!
One of my particular likes is photographing windows and doors (or is that really two likes?). This is a cracker.
ReplyDeletethis is perfect for the letter x and that door is wonderful. it is so OLD and I love old... i am wondering what is behind that door, do you know
ReplyDeleteYou found some fine Xs!

Gosh, it does look like a dungeon! Wonder what they keep in there? Perhaps Hannibal Lector, mad wives, trolls, and assorted creatures of the night.
ReplyDeleteSandra, behind the door is the cellar of an old inn which also serves as café in the museum park now.
ReplyDeleteGraham, I have a special "like" for doors and windows too ;)
On a previous trip to Europe with my children I collected doors and windows. This is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteWords are wonderful but I can't think of an X word that would convey so strong an image. That door is a real thing of beauty.
ReplyDeleteI was going to post a table with X, then I thought why not Xmas. and leave the photo for the next round.
ReplyDeleteNo need to dive in the dictionary, this one is perfect!
ReplyDeleteX-mas or Christmas, which one do you approve of? May you have a prosperous new year!
And a very alluring image this is! It certainly lured me in!
