A Door on the island of Syros

I would say the Baltic countries are a place where one can find some interesting doors.
Sometimes, the door itself may not be all that special but what happens near the door is all the more interesting.
Here is an example, without the soldiers, this door looks plain and the picture has few colors.
The soldiers, especially the middle one, add to the picture!
In my hiking, sometimes, I walked through the village of Luk Keng, before heading uphill.
Many a time, I passed by this ancestral hall which is beautifully adorned, with writings on all three sides of the door.
As for the Jie O one which I showed in another post, the doors have door guards, this time gold ain color.
And below the door guards, are a couple of lion door handles.
Don’t ask me where about is this door in the Baltic.
I got locations all mixed up while travelling from Estonia, then south to Latvia and Lithuania.
However, this must be one of the most interesting doors I have seen.
It is colorful with contrasting colors, with a spider, a chain, a hand sticking out waiting to be shaken.
Your eyes haven’t been deceived.
The door is not vertical, it is slanted from right to left.
While we strolled the medieval city of Annecy in France, we noticed this unusual door.
I must admit I could have taken a more interesting picture which shows the door to be more slanted, but I didn’t.
I haven’t seen the door in an open position, I suppose such doors are more difficult to open / close!
