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.

Garage Doors: Bullseye!

Maybe it's these vertiginous bullseye patterns that keep me so mesmerized.


The standard rectangular bullseye. The mummified car is a nice touch.



This turquoise ought to have been more fashionable in the Fifties. Note the matching RV!


A dainty little number with scalloped edges.



Another monochrome bullseye but spread across a double door.


This one has subtle bas-relief plaques inset.



This odd fellow seems to have lost his lower portions beneath the driveway!


And here we have the multi-bullseye approach.
