No. 7, I think.

3 photos of an older Madrid for a change. I rather like this 1724 door and surrounds.

Diane Putnam, Marco F. Delminho, cammino, Denis Croissant and 12 other people have particularly liked this photo

I like it too Andy..........I really love the vibrant colour of the paintwork and I wonder how many coats of paint it's had over the years!

Many Happy Returns matey..!! Remember: Growing older is compulsory but growing up is optional :-))

Interesting to conjecture about the number of coats. Could be very many or only a handfull. I guess the latter!
Is there an option to grow down (disgracefully)?

Grow down... What a lovely idea.
Growing (very) old gracefully is not too easy.

That's the option I'm working on at the moment.......................but if I'd known I was going to live this long, I'd have taken much better care of myself.

Mind you, my daughter has just broken her wrist during an exercise class........which has confirmed my suspicions that exercise is far to dangerous to attempt :-)))

It is great... a really well kept door. It needs only a very little bit of straightening of the lines .Do you know this program: DXOViewpoint? Or do you have Photoshop?

Andy Rodker club has replied to Eva Lewitus club
I use Picasa 3, when I remember! I may have forgotten to straighten it, Eva. It was very late at night, as usual!
I know that Google are not supporting Picasa any longer and so I wasn't able to add it to my new computer. That is why I kept the old computer for photos. I can only associate my external hard drive, where my photos are stored (also in the cloud), with my old computer. Now My old computer doesn't recognise any ipernity password I try and so I can only get ipernity on my new computer because my sign in page is on my desk top. So I download to and edit old photos and new in my old laptop and transfer a few at a time to my new laptop on a USB stick! This takes time but I can't change it for reasons I can't go into except to say that I am not allowed to keep photos on my new computer which must be kept strictly for 'important' things!
You may gather from this that my girlfriend has a VERY ordered mind and I do not!!! The source of much friction. Anyway she bought the laptop for me so who am I to quibble?

Eva Lewitus club has replied to Andy Rodker club
I had to change my CPU a few times, but I could always keep Picasa. I never used it for correcting my photos... I still love that program, as I can find my photos relatively easy with it.
Ah, computers. My very first computer was a lap top, a used one! What a headache that was. I didn´t even know how to use the mouse. I was told to play solitaire so that I could learn to coordinate my hands (fingers) ... that helped. . Do you remember Word Perfect ? My first email was Pegasus, P-mail. Did you ever use Clipper?
When it finally gave up its ghost I got my first PC and no lap tops for me since then

Andy Rodker club has replied to Eva Lewitus club
I certainly rememebr Word Perfect and MS DOS and Daisy Wheel printers! They all seem like yesterday! But to today's techno wizard teens, they are all antideluvial!

Eva Lewitus club has replied to Andy Rodker club
The word "wizard" is correct. They are born knowing what to do and where to click. I nearly envy them.

It's amazing when you a see a toddler in a push chair making a scene. A parent gives it a mobile phone and immediately it has quitened down, has opened it and is operating it at a high level! Probably playing sophisticated computer games.
I confessed to a class of twenty-something students once that I had never played a computer game in my life.
... Immediate incredulity and, I think, a dramatic loss of respect! I haven't said this to anybody else until now!!!

Eva Lewitus club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Ha, Andy! I´ve never played a computer game either! But I learned coordination playing solitaire with the first Lap Top I received... There was a time that before closing my PC, I played Mahyong with it.

This is a fantastic door - wow 1724 - and the building looks much younger. I just love the door and the metal bolts, so attractive.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jenny McIntyre club
I think some of the brickwork is a bit of recent shoring-up of the structure, Jenny!

Great colours and textures Andy, nice door also!

Thank you, Doug. In constant use too; every time I was about to press the shutter either the sun went in or someone came out. A two minute shot became a 10 minute pain in the a.s !!
