Your pictures on the theme of 'open doors'

We asked our readers to send in their best pictures on the theme of "open doors". Here is a selection of the photographs we received from around the world.

Rachael Blakey: "An open door at an abandoned house in New Brunswick, Canada."

Tricia Ryan: "This is Magic the beagle checking the weather before deciding whether to consent to going for a walk on a so-so day in chilly Dorset in November. I love this photo of her heading from the dark to the light."

Harald Loeffler: "Family members going up for their first skydiving adventure learned that doors just get in the way of a successful exit, and that at least one was superfluous."

Robert Horner: "A pair of open doors within a pair of closed doors, Malaga, Spain."

Elizabeth Roach: "Louisbourg National Historic Site, Nova Scotia. The charming 'garden keeper' enjoying a few moments of knitting and quiet before a shipload of tourists descended."

Lindsey Rolfe: "On Sunday night all the machines were empty and the doors were open in a launderette in San Francisco."

Olga Arune: "Let me in!"

Kristine Zlamete: "Dramatic entrance to the forest in Latvia."

Jennie Meakin: "Shake it off. Down the old windy streets of Bari, you can happen on someone mid-house clean. Suddenly a brush popped out the door, and back in almost as quickly."

Jane Thakker: "An unexpected door in the grounds of a hotel in the Suusamyr Valley in Kyrgyzstan."

Kevin Munt took this picture by the coast.

Tim Rishton: "Opening the door to let the lambs out after the winter's snow; competition to be first out is intense."

The next theme is "together" and the deadline for entries is 24 January 2023.

The pictures will be published later that week and you will be able to find them, along with other galleries, on the In Pictures section of the BBC News website.

You can upload your entries on this page or email them to [e-mail].
