Beautiful Decay

Old Garden Door, Charleston, SC  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved

An old wooden door slowly succumbs to decay,
 while being framed by the lush greens of a winter garden.

    Makes me want to knock on the door and discover who lives there.

    nice find, it does seem like it needs some treatment of some sort to stop the decay..

    Gorgeous find and shot Doug--a dog lover lives here perhaps?

    ah, the ravages of time, so skilfully masked by lush vegetation ...

    I'm sure I have been to this place before, D!
    Very deja vu to me.

    Beautifully spotted and framed. I like the lush colors, the deteriorated bottom and that glowing globe on the right.

    Such elegance. It must have been a beautiful door that opens to so many possibilities. Over time, it still stands beautifully.

    Even as it decays it looks so inviting, makes you wonder what's on the other side.
