Beautiful door, almost 300 years old! Happy birthday, Andy!

Many thanks, Dimas!

Oh, I see it's your birthday- Many happy returns,Andy!

Beautiful details.
Happy Birthday !!

Gudrun,
Jaap,
Thank you both!

I like it too Andy..........I really love the vibrant colour of the paintwork and I wonder how many coats of paint it's had over the years!

Many Happy Returns matey..!! Remember: Growing older is compulsory but growing up is optional :-))

Interesting to conjecture about the number of coats. Could be very many or only a handfull. I guess the latter!
Is there an option to grow down (disgracefully)?

It is great... a really well kept door. It needs only a very little bit of straightening of the lines .Do you know this program: DXOViewpoint? Or do you have Photoshop?

I use Picasa 3, when I remember! I may have forgotten to straighten it, Eva. It was very late at night, as usual!
I know that Google are not supporting Picasa any longer and so I wasn't able to add it to my new computer. That is why I kept the old computer for photos. I can only associate my external hard drive, where my photos are stored (also in the cloud), with my old computer. Now My old computer doesn't recognise any ipernity password I try and so I can only get ipernity on my new computer because my sign in page is on my desk top. So I download to and edit old photos and new in my old laptop and transfer a few at a time to my new laptop on a USB stick! This takes time but I can't change it for reasons I can't go into except to say that I am not allowed to keep photos on my new computer which must be kept strictly for 'important' things!
You may gather from this that my girlfriend has a VERY ordered mind and I do not!!! The source of much friction. Anyway she bought the laptop for me so who am I to quibble?

I think you're right...number 7! A very nice door.

We both have amazing powers of deduction! :o)

This is a fantastic door - wow 1724 - and the building looks much younger. I just love the door and the metal bolts, so attractive.

I think some of the brickwork is a bit of recent shoring-up of the structure, Jenny!

I had to change my CPU a few times, but I could always keep Picasa. I never used it for correcting my photos... I still love that program, as I can find my photos relatively easy with it.
Ah, computers. My very first computer was a lap top, a used one! What a headache that was. I didn´t even know how to use the mouse. I was told to play solitaire so that I could learn to coordinate my hands (fingers) ... that helped. . Do you remember Word Perfect ? My first email was Pegasus, P-mail. Did you ever use Clipper?
When it finally gave up its ghost I got my first PC and no lap tops for me since then

I certainly rememebr Word Perfect and MS DOS and Daisy Wheel printers! They all seem like yesterday! But to today's techno wizard teens, they are all antideluvial!
