At our school we have an "open door policy" which means that all doors of teacher offices are open for students for dropping in whenever they want to, for questions, appointments etc. To emphasize this, all doors are made of thick glass. Behind this door on the picture you see the heads of two Javanese or Balinese wajang dolls, still used in ceremonies stemming from pre-Islamic periods. Bali is the only island in the Indonesian archipelago where Hindu religion is predominant. The school is full of these referrings to foreign cultures because of the many international students.
Thank you for visiting my p-blog and leaving your comment and advice!

@Evie: Thanks Evie, if I may be a bit proud of myself: the composition succeeded very well. Nice to show you around a bit as a colleague.
Cool shot. Like the interior

@chacha: Thanks, it's rather new: only seven years and everybody working and studying in it likes it, we are proud of it. The glass doors met resistance in the beginning, and we felt also their resistance because some bumped on them entering an office but after half a year they sticked gray opaque strips on them so you can see when a door is closed or open.
nice angle. I learn something whenever I come to your blog! Nice shot! :)
