I love to wake up on Saturday mornings to find Ailsa’s weekly travel theme from Where’s My Backpack waiting in my inbox. Today it’s doorways, so let’s go to Fort Cochin in Kerala, India, for 50 shades of Blue.

Amazed you have so many photos of lovely doors. I have a few somewhere I think, but my archive is not the greatest so it would take ages to find them. Great idea, though.

You weren’t kidding about all that blue. Is there some reason for using blue on doors in India or did you just look for blue doors?

They were all there in a old colonial warehouse district in Cochin. A photographer’s dream.

Fabulous photos and fabulous doors. I enjoy taking photos of doors especially in Asia. They don’t have to be ornate just simple and functional. I also like to photograph rubbish bins!

Gorgeous photos. I was in Kerala in 1984 as a young twenty something. Wish I had digital photos. I need to transfer my slides to digital. I jumped on a backwater boat ( like a bus) to Cochin from somewhere, the end of the line if I remember correctly. Louise

Hi Louise, It’s time to dig out those old pics and get them digitalised- nice memories. Those backwaters are such a treat.
