Thursday Doors is a weekly feature allowing door lovers to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos from around the world. Feel free to join in on the fun by creating your own Thursday Doors post each week and then sharing it, between Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time), by using the blue link-up button below.
Even More Lunenburg Doors – Nova Scotia
Last fall we visited the seaside town of Lunenburg Nova Scotia
and as I mentioned in a few previous posts here and here – I hit the proverbial door jackpot. The entire town is a registered UNESCO World Heritage Site and it has hundreds of lovely examples of old coastal architecture with nautical/maritime themes and bright colors.
I got so many great door shots from that place that I’ll probably be posting Lunenburg doors for months to come.
Here are a few more really nice ones:
If you ever get the chance to visit Atlantic Canada, a day or two spent in the historic fishing and shipbuilding town of Lunenburg is well worth it.
Don’t forget to click on this blue button to add your post links to the list:
If you share your posts on Twitter and Instagram remember to use the #ThursdayDoors hashtag and please do take a few minutes to visit the Thursday Door posts shared by others.
As always, thanks for looking 🙂

Beauties. I fell in love with doors on a trip to Europe and have been door-stalking ever since. 🙂

I think it was in Italy for me. All I know is that I can’t stop. It could be worse, there are much more harmful addictions than photographing doors 😉

We were walking along the cliffs of Anglesey Isle, Wales yesterday, and I repeated my lament, “We’ve got to spend time touring our own maritime provinces.” Now, you’ve given me even more incentive! I’ll be hot on the trail of house sitting gigs in Nova Scotia.
Beautiful photography, as usual.

Thanks Josée. It’s one of my favorite places to visit – I think we’ve been to the Maritimes 6 or 7 times over the last 20 years. It helps having an old childhood friend there to visit too.
If you guys ever decide to go, we’ll be happy to offer some tips of what to see and where to stay. Cheers!

Glad I don’t have to judge a Best Door Contest here. …But, if I did, I’d have to have a three-way tie for first between the Fortress Door, the weirdly compatible fresh red/green house with the worn golden door, and spanking new red-white-and-blue barn. All first-rate, and so very different from one another!

So much to choose from today Norm. I love the worn wooden doors. I feel like they have seen so much during their service. I like the fret work on screen door (and the colors on that house) and above the windows on the house with the archerd door and arched sidelights. I really like the whale tail knocker. I love the doors on the garage at the bottom. Very nice collection today!
