My thanks go to Cee over at Cee’s Life Photography for this week’s theme wood, this is part three of the Chinese Five elements. Metal and water have already been done so this challenge makes three out of five.
Wood can endure for centuries so I’ve chosen to make my collection, very old wood. These photos consist of a church door, a close-up of wood used in the construction of a 16th century building and finally a small door in a Priory.

Now I’m looking forward to her next challenge.
Reblogged this on Paradise has mosquitoes.
Great choice of photos for this week challenge. Thanks for playing along.
My thanks go to your setting this challenge.
Like these Gerty! They certainly put a lot of craftsmans hours into making these old doors
in the small Priory Church door … they are quite maginificent !
He was really showing off his scrolls
Turn your head to one side with the close up of wood and you have a starting point of a seascape painting with a sea wall across it. Well that’s what I imagine .
Lovely .
Oh Poppy what a wonderful comment. Yes I do agree that old doors have an age of secrets to them. Thank you.
Love the old gnarled wood.
Thank you, I think my skin might turn into old gnarled wood if I sit in the sun too much.
Oh the architect of the olden days…sigh!
Have to admit I do like the style of the older buildings. Thank you for leaving a comment.
Hi Gerty, suddenly realsied I’d not seen any of your post noftifications recently – are you OK?
Hi Piglet, yes all is fine here but the internet connection is so very slow that it takes the pleasure of blogging away. Hopefully will be back soon. Thanks for your concern.
