Garage Doors: Beaten by the Target

Just when you thought it was safe to back to this blog, I put up a bunch more garage doors, and a bewildering post title referring to a Robert Pollard song.

Targets. Bullseyes. Nested rectangles. Call them what you will, they're ubiquitous.

The standard breed.




The rippled mongrel.




The rare nested peephole.



The double-whammy multicolored varietal. Note the scrawled house number.



The freak of nature.

  1. So if they call birdwatchers "twitchers" what do they call garage door watchers? That rare nested peephole is quite a find!
