Weekly Photo Contest | May 9, 2026 - May 17, 2026 |Doors

[oblomow]

Inspired by this weeks Omar Gonzalez video, the theme for this week is doors. Single, plural, proverbial, phyiscal. Whatever. Have fun.


As always, the standard rules apply:

• The photographs must be your own work. No AI generated images.

• You may only submit one photo per contest.

• No commenting or liking photos until after the judging has taken place.

• This contest runs for about a week, starting now.

• At the end of the competition, the judge (last week's winner) will choose a 1st, 2nd and 3rd place photo, providing as much feedback as possible.

• The 1st place winner will start a new thread here with the topic/theme of their choice, and act as the judge for that contest. (Winner has 48 hours to create new theme, after that it defers to 2nd place).

• Be sure to update the Contest Master List as soon as you post a new theme.

• Contest will end May 17 at 8 pm CEST. ( yes, 8 days, probably will be away next weekend so you have an extra day)

Thanks for all the entries. The standard disclaimer applies.


@kendallm Nice. I looked up Evan Kasle. He made some more public art. Nice find. Thanks.

@Time89 Fascinating. It's not the Museum in Munich I guess. I looks so deserted and not the design I would expect from a BMW museum.

@C0ncreteBl0nde An abandoned building or just someone who values their privacy? At first I didn't like the colors, but after some consideration I feel that it adds to the mystery.

@mtbdudex Again a photo that made me search the web. bigart.ca made these doors. Although the sign explains a lot, I think leaving it out would increase the mystery and confusion.

@Snowlover "None shall pass!" What's not to like. A cat on the internet. Bonuspoints. 🙂

@cjsuk Nice. Just a hint of movement on the biker. Love the composition.

@Q-Dog I love this perspective. I can't tell if it is taken from a basement or a really low angle.

@someoldguy Missing doors! Where is this? Castle? Monestary?

@_timo_redux_ The door to Donald T's shed? I notice that in 2019 you already liked tight framing/crops. I like it. It makes me wonders what's behind that door.

The podium:

This is a hard one.

3rd @kendallm
2nd @Q-Dog
1st @cjsuk

Apartment 1B, of course

My image was taken inside one of the structures in Chaco Canyon in New Mexico (see here https://journeyswithsteve.com/chaco-canyon-a-complete-guide-to-new-mexicos-ancient-wonder/ and here https://www.nps.gov/chcu/index.htmhttps://www.nps.gov/chcu/index.htm) . It's whats left of a substantial city abandoned by the Anasazi somewhere around 1250 AD . Not near anywhere , and at the end of a not particularly well maintained dirt/gravel road .

My image was taken from the basement after I replaced the screen in the screen door. (Here is the same door, during the repair.)

Thanks for the 1st. Was not expecting that!

The photo was taken round the corner from me with a (I think £20) Praktica MTL50 film camera on Ilford HP5 when I was testing it. DSLR scanned after.

Lots of great entries - love these competitions!

I am rather busy this afternoon but will post a new competition later when I get a minute.
