Magic Doors

There is something magical about Moroccan doors.

Kasbah Oudayas, Rabat

They keep people out; they welcome people in. They reveal what's inside, whether a home, a place of business, a place of learning, a place of worship, or even royalty.  Some even mark the entrance to a village or kasbah.  Doors are the heartbeat, of sorts, to what makes those places "tick".

Walking the streets of Morocco's cities, one can't help but be drawn to the doors. To their variety; to their uniqueness; to their color, their beauty, and their eccentricity, each one more different than the last.  Some so simple you think there's nothing special about it, but you still notice it because of it's color or some creative twist that's been applied.

Here is a colorful look at some of my favorite doors of the fabulous place I called home for three years.  This in no way is even close to exhausting the numerous photos I have of doors, but it's at least enough to delight your sense of sight with color, texture and sheer beauty.  And, to me, they truly are magical.

PS:  My husband is coming home from his deployment this week (Yay!), and I will be taking a break from writing for several weeks.  Until then, be sure to enjoy and appreciate those that you love, and take special note of the little things that make life grand!
