I’m not the first to collage the doors of Dublin and won’t be the last
.
In fact, there’s sort of a “sub culture” around the doors of Dublin, when a poster featuring the doors of Dublin in a collage format like this (except better ) appeared in an Irish Tourism Office in NYC The poster, featuring some of the most famous doors from Dublin’s Georgian squares (Fitzwilliam and Merrion), became so popular that the manager of the Irish Tourism board commissioned the poster
.
According to legend, Dublin’s iconic doors are were painted in separate, bright colors by women so that their drunk husbands would be able to differentiate their house when coming home in a different state of mind from the bar-typical Irish legend
.
Probably more accurately, the doors were simply painted in the Georgian era to differentiate the properties themselves, as the houses in the Georgian quarter have similar architecture.
.
This is my attempt, consisting of some of the doors I’ve snapped over the last 10 months in Dublin. If anybody is good with making collages let me know-I was thinking of making an Irish flag using the doors and some other designs but collaging is beyond my skillset

It’s a beautiful bank holiday weekend in Dublin ☀️ How will you be spending your time off today or tomorrow?! I might grab some sandwiches, a book and some music and go find this very bench in Trinity College

"Dublin, my home away from home, is absolutely just…wonderful.
⠀
I can’t even put it into words how deeply Dublin has touched my heart.
⠀
It isn’t a traditionally beautiful city, but it’s a city of its own. The people are inviting and warm, full of stories and life. They teach me things about the world without even realizing it." Shanell Peterson

#Ireland To go there is to know how absolutely stunning it is. Most amazing trip. On the flight home from our 5 day jaunt I turned to my hubs and said “when can we go back?” Belly laughed our way through the country.

"For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal." - James Joyce
