Threshold is the theme for WordPress’ Weekly Photo Challenge this week. I’ve interpreted it from point 3 in the list below.

- (Building) Also called: doorsill a sill, esp one made of stone or hardwood, placed at a doorway.

Have to say I wasn’t expecting this. 🙂
Thank you very much Bob. For me that’s a great compliment.
When I heard of this challenge I wanted to do #3 too but I had nothing similar and the time is so short these days. I love the song Max. The photos are terrific. Congrats on great interpretation!
Thanks Paula. The song is a country version of an old punk song and I think it suits this post. The singer, Tim Timebomb from Rancid, also made the original version.
Have to agree with Bob. 🙂

I agree that you agree with Bob 🙂
Cool post! I’ve got 2. and 3. mixed (sans the manhood), I guess. 🙂 You be the judge. 😀

Thanks Psycho. I’ll have a look at it later tonight, the schedule of the day is more than full.
Very powerful post, C.G. … even more so, when I read the final words..
The photos are exquisite…
Thanks for your kind words Reb. It’s a long and sad story that I’ll let the photos and the song tell.
Oh, so much expressed with these photos… an impactful choice for threshold.
Thanks for the compliment Lisa.
Nicely done (-:
Thanks Senõr Diffley.
Powerful image. I’m sorry for your loss.
Thanks for the warm thoughts Connie.
Very good interpretation of the theme. Our first experience (of whatever) is often a threshold to another life. Often, one that is deceptively better. Good shot.
Thank you very much N.E.
Photo’s are great, and edited in b&w to help add drama to a story that you are trying to say is either the beginning of the end or the start of a good night if your into that :), I think it’s the fore based on the R.I.P
You’re right: This story didn’t have a happy ending. Let’s just say that Disney would never make a movie based on it.
Very cool.
Very powerful image. Sad. So sorry for your loss.
Cool entry for the challenge, Max. Great photostory indeed. And I agree with all the ones that agree with Bob. 😃 I’m sure, Cilje would have loved the music.
Ha en fin søndag!
The picture(s) do have a special power of evoking feelings. This one is really wonderful and sad at the same time…
I immediately recognized Tim Timebomb from Rancid. Never heard this song, but I liked it! I love Red Hot Moon. Great set of shots, I love the B&W and great angles! 🙂
I love Rancid. I’ve kind of grown up with them as I’ve listened to them since their first album in ’93. Red Hot Moon is a catchy and nice tune: there’s also a lot of other good songs on the “Indestructible” album; ‘Memphis’, ‘Fall Back Down’, ‘Stand Your Ground’ and more.
Outstanding images. A bit of complexity that makes your mind drifts. There’s also a very dramatic effect to it. Contemplative, empathy, pure art. Well done, CG
