"The Intruder"

A #door opens
An #intruder awaits
..
This is an #acrylic #painting from a few years back. And just as I am posting this, I am reminded of the poem, "Alone" by #EdgarAllanPoe:

From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were—I have not seen
As others saw—I could not bring
My passions from a common spring—
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow—I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone—
And all I lov’d—I lov’d alone—
Then—in my childhood—in the dawn
Of a most stormy life—was drawn
From ev’ry depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still—
From the torrent, or the fountain—
From the red cliff of the mountain—
From the sun that ’round me roll’d
In its autumn tint of gold—
From the lightning in the sky
As it pass’d me flying by—
From the thunder, and the storm—
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view—

The traditional wooden houses along the Nieuwendammerdijk are an important part of the city’s architectural history. They reflect late 1️⃣9️⃣th and early 2️⃣0️⃣th-century working-class housing, with some influence from the Amsterdam School, known for its brickwork and decorative style.

These homes are rare because wood was banned in central Amsterdam after major fires in the 15th and 16th centuries. 🔥 🚒🧯

Porta Castiglione for #Doorsday

🤓"But that's not a door, you f*cking idiot!"
Well, in Italian it is. Porta = Door. So, if you have any problems with that - take it up with the country of Italy.
Porta Castiglione was first built in the middle of the 13th century and then given a spruce in the 15th century. Back in the day, it was part of the city walls used to protect the centre - it was a machiocolated rampart (which means it was used for defensive purposes to keep undesirables out). Thankfully, it's not used for that purpose anymore, so now I can live here. ✨

🎶 Come on, Baby, Light my Fire 🔥 🎶 - T̶h̶e̶ D̶o̶o̶r̶s̶ This Door #Doorsday

There was a little accident and a car caught fire and damaged the door. (Nobody was hurt, everyone is fine! ♥️). It happened a while ago - they just haven't replaced the door -
Must have known Doorsday was coming! 🤭
