It suddenly occurred to me that I’ve been only taking photos of closed doors, but open doors and what they lead to is often more interesting than the door itself.
This statement by okcforgottenman written as a comment to this photograph is so true and so related to this photo that I must reproduce it here:
“I marvel at how Mexican businesses (and some homeowners) build doorways so differently from what I know in the U.S., where our doors are rigidly defined, narrow, and usually closed (even if they automatically open). There in Mexico, the doorways to the shops are usually wide enough to drive a car through, and they stay open, inviting, during business hours. They blur the distinction between being in the shop and being just outside. Viva Mexico!”
And, in case you are wondering what lies obscured by shadows in this photograph, here are two more views:

A lovely comment, forgottenman. More descriptive than the picture itself.

So, maybe some photos of the shopfronts in La Manzanilla in the low crepuscular light, while the shop lights are still luring us in? Kin ya do that for us, huh, huh?
