And coming up at the back, a long way back, late and far behind as usual, is Mari with a few Thursday Doors.
First up is one from Noyers in France. Noyers was once touted as the prettiest village in France, and far from me to argue with the French but I’ve seen prettier.

In the next photograph, the eye is drawn. not to much to the door as to the tomb above it. This is the sarcophagus of Cangrande, founder of the Scaligeri dynasty of Verona who died in 1392 supposedly of poison. One of the most bizarre examples of Gothic funerary art, it sits over the entrance to the church of Santa Maria Antigua not far from Piazza Erbe in Verona. This was the first to be built, there are other dynastic members buried nearby, behind locked gates. Sorry about the ‘intruders’ but honestly, I waited ages for them to move but I think their messages were very important!

Not sure if I may not have used this one before but anyway, here is the door to an old Haman in Limassol, Cyprus.
