For Nihat...

[Glenn Clabo]

"I have lived on the lip of insanity,
wanting to know reasons,
knocking on a door. It opens.
I've been knocking from the inside.”
RUMI

There is only one way to open this door...

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Beautiful, just beautiful, Glenn. Thank you very much for doing this. I am under the weather nowadays. Rumi's poem is one of my favorites. The door is so perfect with its brick work around, and the texture on its surface, and the the stone sidings - all work perfectly with the poem's message. This does help. Thank you very much indeed.

Can't the rest of us enjoy it too?

Can't the rest of us enjoy it too?

Only after Hihat does.

Thank you Nihat...I walk by this door every morning as I walk my wife to work...for the last 3 years. It was the first time I noticed that there was no way to open it. Interesting how these things happen. Sorry to hear you are not feeling well...and hope it isn't too serious. Be well soon.

 

[Nihat Iyriboz]

Thank you very much, Glenn.
It's a mystery how we keep finding new details on repeat scenes. This world is photographer's paradise.
They will have to install a lock on this door before I stop enjoying this image.

beautiful tones. does the door hide one of those shrinking hallways?

A beautifully made photograph of an intriguing door.

The hinges are getting to me. Wouldn't they normally be on the inside?

 

[Glenn Clabo]

Yes Stephen...not much about this door makes sense...but Rumi had it all figured out a long time ago.

Well Beth...I believe I'd have to be smart enough to figure out how to open it to find out. In this case...I didn't even notice it didn't have a knob for 3 years.

What an intriguing shot Glenn. Nice.

Apparently if you do get though it you end up in John Malkovich's head. Lovely dark tones, it looks quite enigmatic.

Knock Knock who's there.
