On the island of Naxos (Greece), walking towards the church on a hill, passing many homes. Thought this was kind of interesting, just needs some love and repairs. Thanks for viewing and commenting, appreciate advice very much.

It sure is worn out, and the aging process can be seen so well, this would be a good entry for the contest Vicki. tigs=^..^=

Yes, it is a candidate for the current contest but what a contestant it would be if the challenge was "geometry." You have all the best elements; triangles, squares, rectangles, diagonal lines, and a near-hidden trapezoid. You have everything in this picture to make anyone a happy Euclid.

Please, if you buy this lovely fixer-upper let me know. I have already purchased a very hearty protractor (with a 6" ruler edge) for you as a house warming present. :)

I love all the textures and the history behind this one Vicki. The gate seems out of place. I agree with John about all the shapes.
Good one for the contest should you decide to use it.

In spite of the minor repairs and the new small gate one cannot but notice the dilapidated condition of the rest. I think this will make a good entry for the contest.

I like the aged rustic feel of the doors. Not sure if I would paint of fix them if they were mine, you don't to be too modern in a place like this.

Long before the white man and long before the wheel, when the dark green forests were too silent to be real. Lightfoot 1967

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

I am sure there is so much history and so many forgotten stories in that one picture. Who has walked through that door? Thanks for posting!
