Weekend Snapshot 52 and the Opening Doors Challenge
Here I am with another combo post for weekend snapshot and a new challenge.
When I heard that Jienje who blogs at Heaven in Belgium was starting a new challenge that would run from Monday September 1 through Saturday, I doubted I'd be able to participate so soon after having done 3 challenges in a row. However, since I loved the idea of an "Opening Doors" challenge, I spent a little time over the weekend looking through my photography for doors and, or entrances of any kind. 
Although I didn't shoot these photographs this week, I figure they qualified for weekend snapshot since I cropped out the doors from photography I took previously and I did locate them in my archives over the weekend. To an extent it was a weekend project.
These doors are located at the old part of the medical campus at Duke University in Durham, NC, US. They go to show you that a beautiful door doesn't always lead to something pleasant. The opposite can be true with shabby doors leading into a fairly pleasant home (my doors at home are pretty tattered). These doors took me into an oral surgeon's office where my impacted tooth was pulled, OUCH.
Who guessed that teeth are pulled behind these doors? The H on the side of the door is a clue that it's part of the hospital complex. I did get a pretty good photo shoot out of the ordeal and I posted full shots of the building in old posts. However, I never cropped out the doors, so this is somewhat new. If anyone is interested in joining the opening doors challenge, you can check it out at Heaven in Belgium on Monday.
If anyone is interested in Weekend Snapshot, that is a Monday meme.

Wow~ Carver you've been busy :P But I'm loving the memes you're doing. Reflections, bridging the gap and now doors. I'll be back to visit often! :)
Seeing the buildings I never could imagine it was hospital! And wonderful! You are busy doing multiple memes.

I love doors! And those photos are stunning:)
That's a magnificent building! :) Wow!
A hospital!? I didn't imagine it to be part of a hospital or the dentist's clinic. This is such a grand building but I won't like to visit if it belongs to the dentist. haha...
so nice. love the architectural design.
i hope you can visit my ws entry here. thanks.
Superb! What A great building!I love every corner of it...really nice...have a great week ahead
Great cropping, Carver!! you know, I actually did that too, I found one recent picture and I cropped it to show the door... but I wasn't happy with the quality since it was taken with the cam which is now being repaired... tempting, very tempting, of course!!
i love the stonework on that building..its beautiful :)
Beautiful architecture!
Wonderful door meme! I'll be back for more.
Weekend train travel
Hello!
I love these doors and the magnificent architecture with it - beautiful!
Oh my ! I honnestly thought it was a church ! but that a tooth has been pulled out behind such a beautiful door is unbelievable, lol !!
Ohhhhhhhh WOW! All that for a hospital? Shoot - I'd have wanted to be sick - ALL the time! Amazing...
Those are fancy doors for a dental office. Although a castle liked that might have a dungeon.
I added myself to the wrong post! Sorry, Carver. These are beautiful doors. So much variety!
That's a beautiful place. It looks like a historical place and I wouldn't have thought that part of it is the dentist's clinic.
Oh I love this great building and the doors! Wonderful choice Carver! Hope your day is going well...
Wow, so many photo memes to take part of. The Opening Doors Challenge is a good one since I have just started taking photos of doors. I have a post about that here:
Doors
Have a great week ahead, Carver :)
Beautifully painful doors! I would have never guessed what was going on behind them! Great shots!
Interesting old doors. Love the detail around them. Doors are a good meme have fun that.
some amazing door shots; i love architecture so shots like these always appeal to me
Deceptive doors...luring you in with their beauty then...ouch...dentists? I thought they were doors to an old cathedral.
Welcome to Opening Doors, Carver!
I just love how you melted the two memes together, into one very interesting post!
That last ruby door, is one I would be very reluctant to open myself. Unless, you need urgent help, in which case it's probably more of a rescue place, huh? I truly enjoyed this!Thanks ever so much!
interesting architecture! love red doors!
A doorway like that almost makes it worth going to the dentist! Wonderful doors!
Thanks so much to everyone for visiting and commenting on my combo weekend snapshot doors challenge post. I'm just back from a fun day and we found lots of doors to photograph, ha.
Hi Carver. These are great photos. Awesome doors that I would have guessed to be on a church. Sure can't go on appearances. Great post!!
I have gone back and enjoyed all these challenges. I was going to try to pick a favorite, but I love them all. The doors are all so unique.
Oh I am sorry! Can you take me off your weekend snapshot thingy? I did take this shot yesterday, but I am not signed up for that meme.
I was just so excited about your doors that I didn't pay attention to what I was doing. These are great doors -- though after your story, I think I like them best from the outside! LOL!
Thanks again to everyone for visiting and commenting. Quilly I removed the linky. I know it's confusing when I do multiple memes with one post. I'm amazed to be posting daily which I've never done. I have been winging my way through these combo ones, ha.
Wow... I love the architecture!!
BTW, thanks for the birthday wishes!
