The Secret Door

[demmiblue]

A perfect online past time for wanderlusters, virtually step through the secret door and be transported to a random location just about anywhere on Earth– Google Earth, that is. From a time capsule shed in the Antarctic to an abandoned house somewhere in China or a cozy pub in London, virtually travel the world with this nifty little site, hosted appropriately enough by a window and door replacement company called Safe Style.

1. Fantastic!

Thanks for posting these images, demmiblue.

You've reminded me of a book of photographs I was given many years ago by John Pearson titled "Magic Doors." They were marvelous color prints of nature that had an other-worldly feel to them. In the introduction to the collection, Mr. Pearson wrote, “Of magic doors there is this: you do not see them even as you are passing through.”

I couldn't find a website but here's a little more information should you want to look it up:

4. Sigh... I searched for more info, but couldn't find any.

It sounds like a wonderfully whimsical book!

I think I am going to add that quote to my sig line to remind me to live in the moment more and, perhaps, get a quick glimpse of a few of those magical doors!

Thanks PJ!

3. It opened for me the first try, but then when I want to go somewhere else, it doesn't work.

Have to reload the page.

But otherwise a nice little respite from the daily idiocy.
