St. Petersburg, Russia.
The featured image shows a beautiful open door with an inviting room behind. The walls and the floors are rather exceptional as well.
There are so many rooms of treasure in this museum, that there are almost endless doors to photograph. I only snapped eight of these doors for this post.
Here we have a door just beyond the door.
If you look closely, you will see the door into the main reception hall at the head of the stairway. That door is almost 20 feet high, based in the size of the people in front of it.
Thursday Doors is a weekly challenge sponsored by Norm Frampton on his blog Norm 2.0. Follow the link to see many other doors from around the world.
SOMEBODY knew how to make hinges and hang a door!!!

I have already done 5 posts just on the Hermitage. One to go (hopefully tomorrow) on the costumes worn by the rich and famous during the time of the Czars.

Very nice! I only captured the fourth one when I was there two years ago. I guess I didn’t really look carefully at most of the doors. But you can’t blame me – the Hermitage itself is an overwhelming experience!

It says much for the majesty and awe these command that they survived a revolution and doctrinaire modernist state.
Thank you for the images Charles
