Orange doors: Marfa

021013 B&W

I saw these fantastic doors along West Lincoln Street, just west of Highland Avenue. In deference to regular readers of my blog, I am posting the black and white version first: I don’t want to startle anyone.

But I just couldn’t resist the color version. Check out that orange!

  1. I was surprised to see the orange. Surprised and pleased. The other colours work well with it, too I think.

  2. Ooops! ‘El Bueno…’ Sorry, Ron. I’m a bit ‘feo’ myself.

  3. I agree, these doors want to be in colour. I like the blue tones in the pavement too.

    What do you suppose the small locked door is for? When I was growing up houses had a place like that for milk deliveries (unlocked). I think it was partly to keep the milk from going off in the summer and freezing in the winter. This one looks much bigger.

    • Just wait – there’s another color shot in the queue…

      That small door caught my eye right away, before I noticed the orange, actually. I can’t even image what it’s for. Maybe it IS for milk, and high commodity prices made the lock a wise investment?
