November theme day: doorway

This "doorway" is a part of the National Library building. It's an entrance for the fire department and it also seems to lead to the basement part of the building. Very ugly and very weird, IMHO, so I added a filter which inverted the photo to make it just a bit nicer. :) Good thing about it is that it's hidden away and visible only from the parking lot.

  3. Fantastic shot! What a great choice for theme day!

    By the way, the stapelia plant family comes from South Africa, it's not native to Portugal.

  5. I must admit I've never seen anything like it...looks almost as it were painted on the side of the building. Futuristic feeling, and eerie, too.

  7. Whatever you did with it, it sure looks great now! I wouldn't have thought it was ugly.

  8. Pretty cool, it looks great in reverse, like the building is made of basalt or granite and the door looks like a luminous something or other. Kinda avant garde.
