This door is by a tiny delectable pastry shop, Aux Merveilleux de Fred. I love the lamps.

The color version looks more appetizing; hope the pastries are too! 🙂

  The pastries are excellent. Fortunately too pricy for me.

Lovely little shop behind this door and window, Sherry. I’m glad you supplied the link, and I’m glad I wasn’t at the tempting threshold because wow do those cakes ever look good; via photo/link is less caloric. Inviting façade, great photos…I especially like the color one.

  I love the meringues and the brioche once a year. Too costly and too many calories.

I like both images – the black and white gives strong “oldies” look while the colored image gives feeling of colorful life.

I love the image both ways and there is always a story behind the door!

  Thanks. I think the B&W has a different mood.

Nice shot Sherry. I like those lamps too. With that light I do prefer the color version though. It makes the red of the brick stand out.

  Thanks Norm. It’s interesting getting opinions on which one folks like and why.

A rather nice tableau of doors and peripherals Sherry, all beautifully toned…

I’m with sustainabilitea – give me coloured bricks any time, they’re so beautiful!

Works well either way, but I prefer the B/W

I like the title, I like the doors and lamps, and I like both images. Oh, did I say I like the window too? What is that ruffled decoration around it?

I have to go with the color in this instance, Sherry, as the red/orange of the brick and the black of almost everything else is such a lovely contrast.

so mice to see the color and b and w
and I like the lamps too.
but the biggest difference I noticed is that the mono first photo seems to hide the AC unit top right. In the color version it stands out more…
but can barely see it in the first – hmmmm

  I recon the red brick isolates the AC.

      It’s an optical thing. The light and dark are the same in both images. It’s the color that separates.
