Purple in my viewfinder

Purple is one of my absolute favourite colours. I have several photos of purple flowers, purple objects, etc. So when I read that the Tuesday Challenge had the theme of purple, I had a dilemma .... which photo to choose?

I went with this door; I think it's a good choice. I spied it on Yonge Street in downtown Toronto as we were walking back to my son's new apartment after a great Thai dinner the evening after they moved in earlier this month. How could it not catch anyone's eye? The colours, the grunge ... it's a natural for those who like to capture "life in the city". I take lots of pictures but one of my delights is taking photographs in and around any city I'm in. I wonder how many "urban photographers" here in Toronto have a photo of this door in their collection?

When I was 14, my entire bedroom was painted this colour. I loved it. I don't think it would be so restful now, though!
