Entry to the womens convent Frauental. There are still a few nuns working and living there, sometimes selling their specialty bakery goods and healing tinctures.
Door: “Why it's simply impassible!
Alice: Why, don't you mean impossible?
Door: No, I do mean impassible. (chuckles) Nothing's impossible!”
Quote ― Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
The rose is a mythically beautiful flower. Unfortunately, I have little luck growing them. I do well with flowering shrubs--the kind that do well on their own, and require little encouragement other than a decent watering. Yet despite all the special fertilizers, bug killers, fungus controllers, and soil enhancements, there's a side of me that would like to grow a beautiful rose. But then, there's those pesky thorns.

Yes sorry yet another Durdle door sunset , but this one was taken with my new rose coloured nd filter , makes everything look pastel and dreamy :)
The light at the end of the day reflected in the old glass windows at historic Lusscroft Farm in High Point State Park, New Jersey. I think this barn served as a hennery and later a bunkhouse when the farm was still active.
This Bennington-style porcelain door knob was shot at a building in Brattleboro, Vermont.
The Bennington pottery first produced richly swirled clay knobs in the mid 1800s. Paired with small rosettes or back plates, they make a stately, yet understated period style door set. The durable glazed knobs were firmly fastened to a solid iron shank in antique iron finish.

Have recently visited Dorset for a few days and this is the first image of that trip I will post. Hopefully I will catch up with everyone in the next few days and thanks for all the comments and visits that were posted whilst I was away.
Best wishes

Durdle door sits on the South Coast of the UK in Dorset and is part of the Jurassic coastline there.
A much loved spot visited by many photographers always produces some incredible images.
This was taken in the late afternoon when the rocks and coastline were bathed in some beautiful golden light.
Using a LEE little stopper for a longer exposure to catch some motion in the water.
Durdle Door is a natural limestone arch on the 'Jurassic Coast' near Lulworth in Dorset. Hard layers of Portland limestone have been folded on this part of the coast so that they appear almost vertical and these form the seaward edge of the small promontory seen here, that includes Durdle Door.
The impressive natural arch of Durdle Door formed due to the effect of the erosive power of the sea on the vertical layers of different types of rock. At some point in the past the sea would have begun to breach the hard Portland limestone and form a string of caves along the coast. The much softer rocks behind would have quickly been eroded away creating caves and natural arches. Eventually the arches collapsed leaving stacks, which would in turn be broken and washed away by the power of the waves.
Durdle Door is part of only a small strip of hard Portland limestone that is left here. The remnants of old arches can still be seen in the form of 'stumps' of limestone only just visible in the waves. One day that is all that will remain of Durdle Door.
