In response to The Daily Post’s weekly photo challenge: “Door.” I immediately notice the metal grills that criss cross in front of the folding panel doors. I notice the red cloth with Chinese characters on it and the red pumpkin-shape lanterns with complimentary yellow tassels hanging from beneath. I find myself transported to more than…
