are pathways to universes other the our own, lives tucked away behind those shut spaces and mystical stories we never heard before.

Some doors are beautiful, some shabby and bear the story of time and others mysterious. So in tribute to those bearers of history and secrets, and in continuation of the #WhereIStand series of photos we launched earlier that you contributed so many amazing pics of floors to, we have launched the#BehindClosedDoors series, to which you’ve also contributed amazing pictures to. You sent us pictures of old doors, beautiful ones, shabby and intricate ones and we love each one of them.

These are our picks from your entries, as well as a few ones we snapped ourselves, we hope you enjoy them as much as we have.
