The Doors and Knockers of Antigua 舊瓜城的門與門環



Doors in Antigua, Guatemala can be enormous for the horse carriage (now for the car) to pass, the small door obviously is for people only. I was fascinated by the shape and design of the door knockers, always took picture while walked around town. Years ago when I visited the Louvre Museum, I thought of taking each and every chair in the exhibition room, kind of like cataloging them. That remains a distant thought. This time I did have extra time, and here they are, the world of door knockers and door decor of Antigua.

有些舊瓜城的古門很大,是以前給馬車通行的,現在當然改成給汽車通過,充當車庫門。若是只有人的話,開小門就行了。多年前我曾奇想把羅浮宮展廳裡的各型椅子都照下來,因為是奇想,當然沒實現。這次在舊瓜城留的比較久,有時間多照些有趣的門和門環。雖然看了多日,還是覺得古意無限,很有味道。
