Wanna buy a door? Photo

Photographer’s Note

Next to the famous El Jem Colosseum there are a lot of street vendors, you can buy all kind of souvenirs, but what caught my attention were these doors as I was fascinated by them from the moment I arrived to Tunisia. These were very old it seems, and not very well preserved, but still very charming and beautiful! I didn't see no one around them to ask for the price so you can bid to win :) How many dinars you give? Come on, do I hear a bid? :D

Tunis, since long ago, has been famous for its beautiful doors. While the houses might be simple, wealth was expressed through the workmanship of these wooden elements. The dominating colors for doors are blue and beige. Traditional design is double doors, with intricate patterns upon them, often including symbology for good luck

Have a nice WE!

Hello Snezana,
Indeed these doors look very old but charming and are real pieces of artwork. Good to have choosen also a red door to bring more colour on the picture. I know much more doors are blue in Tunisia.
Did you take one back home as a souvenir ? :)
Best regards, Paul

Hi Snezana

A pity to sell everything characteristic of your culture, but I guess people have to live with everything they have

Have a good day and TFS

Hola Sne,

Me quedo con la puerta azul turquesa! Me fascina ese color. Las tres puertas estan lindas de verdad. Cada puerta podria formar parte de una muy bella decoracion.

Un abrazo,

Hello Snezana.
Ce n'est pas habituel de voir de vieilles portes à vendre. Elles ne manquent pas de charme. Belles couleurs et beaux graphismes dûs à l'artisanat traditionnel !
