I measure out my life with haiku. My camera films my soul. ~ Gemma Wiseman
AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

An interesting composition, I like it! My mind started telling stories of children being warned to stay away from the red cellar door and what their imaginations would tell them lies beyond it.
I think this is my favorite of your (always enjoyable) photo & haiku offerings. It really is a little story/world/adventure!
Great shot. I love the angle! Red doors are so interesting!
Red is a beautiful colour on door :)
Lovely play of shadow and light!
And I love that type of door as well :)
Happy RT :)
Marvelous post in all respects! I love the shadowy shot of the red door augmented by your well written haiku ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
I love the shadow play in this. Beautiful photo!
Red doors are so inviting. Makes me wonder what's inside that storage room. '-)
I love everything about this. the brick, the door, the shadows! beautiful!!
Nice captured of the red door with a little mystery..
