#doorsday This is one of the many homes around the golf course where we stay in the winter. Several neighborhoods of about 40 to 50 houses have been empty for 15 years due to the construction slump that hit Spain around 2010. Due to an economic crisis, unrealistic expectations, price increases, and oversupply, the country was left with more than a million vacant homes and countless unfinished construction projects, especially along the coast. Things are improving now, and there's a lot of new construction going on around this golf course, but the ghost towns are still there. Often in beautiful locations with empty swimming pools and overgrown tennis courts. Probably too expensive to remove. They're now just a haven for graffiti artists.

#doorsday #thursdaydoors I didn't have time this morning, but I still wanted to include this beautiful door. It is stil thursday. I took the photo a few days ago in the fishing village of Isla Christina (Spain). A few years ago, I was photographing the fishing industry there. I saw that door back then, but it wasn't until Pixelfed that I became interested in doors and windows. I wanted to show the door today because it there is also a beautiful window besides the door. I'll post that photo tomorrow. #doors #spain #travel #photography #streetphotography #travel #fediverse

Thursday Doors – The Tower Of The Ecliptic

Although we’ve lived in Swansea in South Wales for the last five years, it always amazes me when we take a walk off the beaten track and come across something you had no idea was there.

This is the door to ‘The Tower Of The Ecliptic’.

Door to The Tower Of The Ecliptic

And it’s on this building that you’ll find the door. Can you spot it and any other doors?

The Tower Of The Ecliptic – Swansea

If you think of me standing in front of that door taking the photo, you’ll get an idea of how big this building is. How on earth have I managed to miss a big building like this in the city where I live?

What is The Tower Of The Ecliptic?

It’s an observatory that houses the largest telescope in Wales. Designed by architect Robin Campbell in 1989, the building opened in 1993 for the local astronomical society.

Sadly, in 2010, the building was closed to the public due to a disagreement with the Swansea City Council regarding the building’s rental terms. The Swansea Astronomical Society now holds regular observing sessions at the University College of Swansea. I’ve no idea if they took the telescope with them. Do you think they did?

For more information about The Tower Of Ecliptic, click here.

#doorsday An oar as a doorknob! I found this door in Villa Real, a coastal town in Portugal. #thursdaydoors #doors #portugal #photography #streetphotography #fediverse

#doorsday #thursdaydoors In the sculpture garden surrounding the Kunstmuseum in The Hague, there's a fragment wall adorned with all sorts of Greek-style ornaments. Originally built for the Historical Museum, the wall ultimately ended up in this garden, a garden that otherwise features primarily modern sculptures. It has an alienating effect, especially this mesh-enclosed door. There's nothing behind it, but it's a free-for-all for your imagination. #denhaag #kunstmuseum #nederland #thehague #photography #art #historic #museum #doors #photography #fediverse #fotografie #pixelfed
