Coincidence

I did a double-take the other day while cruising the portal at our mother site when I saw this door, located in the Greenpoint neighborhood of Brooklyn. It certainly is a coincidence, for this door that I'd photographed a few days before in Belgrade's nearby municipality of Zemun looks very similar.

Wow, now I'm thinking of Harry Potter-type of portals. Maybe these doors and those in Brooklyn are connected and one enters a magical world going through them. :-)
If I owned the place, the condition of the doors and transom would drive me nuts, but as a viewer of a photo, they just look beautiful to me. . .the hight of "shabby chic" and distressed allure. Beautiful photo.

I saw that door in Greenpoint, and regretted that I didn't get a chance to photograph it! Yours is equally beautiful.
