I make photos to make myself feel good; I share in hope of making you feel good. I do as much as I can in the camera, but it does not always end there.
Part of making an image in the 21st century is processing a captured image in the computer. This is like dodging and burning in the darkroom of yesterday.
I use Photoshop cc and Lightroom cc. The result is not always what I saw, maybe what I wish I saw. Sometimes, the resulting image is a creation more than a recording. Most of the time, I keep it believable and realistic.

where? would love a caption to your photos, especially for places I am unlikely ever to visit (i.e. non-Scotland!)

I believe that I shot that photograph in Turkey, at or near Ephesus. I remember that my memory was never good (and it is not improving with age).
Constantinople was called Byzantium, but is now called Istanbul (in Turkey). It was the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire and at one time the capital of the entire empire (the Emperor Constantine, who was said to be the first Christian Roman emperor)…
So these doorways are quite possibly from that time, possibly only 1000 years old (which is even older than I am).

I am in awe, and in Delighted, for the specificity and particularity of your answer. As you know from my blog, ancient thresholds and liminal spaces have a special calling to me, and I feel some further Musing on that topic coming on! Thank you for this venerable pronpt, Murray.
(We are probably not much different in age)

You are three years my senior, and I am also as old as the hills! Or as ancient as dragonflies…
