Step On Through To The Other Side

Ornate, simple, colorful, inviting, Art Nouveau, rustic ... just some of the beautiful doors I've come across in my travels. 

Windows

I admit to being a bit of a voyeur. I find windows intriguing. Looking into them poses questions about the lives lived behind them. Peering out from them has it's own fascination. By putting a frame around the world, you see it a little differently and perhaps imagine new possibilities. And, well Paris. Now Paris really does have some of the loveliest windows.

Juxtapositions

I'm no fan of hunting, but this Paris museum - Musee de la Chasse et de la Nature (or Museum of Hunting and Nature) - is fascinating. The juxtaposition of an ultra-sophisticated and seemingly civilized setting with the stuffed deer, bears, and well, rather disturbing paintings, is unlike anything I've seen in any other museum. Well worth a visit, unless you really can't stomach anything related to hunting.
