Welcome to Thursday Doors! This is a weekly challenge for people who love doors and architecture to come together to admire and share their favorite door photos, drawings, or other images or stories from around the world. If you'd like to join us, simply create your own Thursday Doors post each (or any) week and then share a link to your post in the comments below, anytime between 12:01 am Thursday morning and Saturday noon (North American eastern time). If you like, you can add our badge to your post.

Both ends of this trip began with me leaving for or arriving at an airport prior to 4:00 am. I have lots of door photos from this trip, but I wrote this post before I left Iowa, so none have been organized. Most of these were taken with my phone while near or in the airports. I didn't want to go two weeks without a doors post, especially since so many people—and several old friends—showed up last week when there was no official Thursday Doors. All of those doors will be in this week's Sunday Recap.

I hope you enjoy the small gallery, and I hope you take a few minutes to visit some of the other participants.

Note: The featured image is not what I wanted, but the editor was only letting me choose from one item.

This is the first time I've been in a skybridge that wasn't packed with people at this point.

Different skybridge - different plane - different door.

Dunkin' Donuts was opening as I got to the airport but it would be a long time before I could get coffee.

That's a skybridge buried in those reflections.

Of course I like the entrance to this newsstand.

Des Moines airport construction. Probably some doors, but a crane.

Our gate - let;s go

More doors and another crane.

Barilla might make some of its pasta in Italy, but it makes a lot of it in Ames, Iowa.

I always try to park on level 3 because that's where the skybridge is. I don't need the elevator for departure.

I do need the elevator on arrival, but out of order.
