April,
How dare you go out at such temperature? Good Lord!
We can untitle this picture: “Simple means”…
I think you did not understand what I wrote in French on your “Simple Pleasures” pictures. For my part, I see a link between the doors and houses shots and the wardrobe shot I would like to point out. I’ll come back soon.

April,
I am so sorry: I went back to look at your past pictures and found out that you understood my French notes.
Thanks for your answer. I was so glad you took the time to translate. I’ll be pleased to reply to your answer…hum! Not now, I have to rush again. We have to live for Canada in 2 weeks or so. I’ll be back soon.

“Simple means”…
Ah, I like that. Although it doesn’t quite contain the menace I felt in this scene—I do not want to go inside!—it’s food for thought in future captures around the neighborhood.

April, since this door seems to be propped open by the chair, I’m thinking that it must be a kitchen door to a restaurant. Since it was so hot when you made the image, the poor chefs and other kitchen helpers must have been dying for some little bit of relief.
The appearance is not one of prosperity.
