The Door Handle

There is a hand that will lead you…. even when the door is closed.

  2. I love hands.
    and this one is beautiful…
    and so are your words.
    bless you Corey.

  3. The image of a hand is a powerful one, isn’t it?

  4. I love the detail in that hand. So beautiful. You know, Corey, I think a book with all of your photos and words of wisdom and inspiration would be a very wonderful thing to have on my coffee table. 🙂

  5. I have seen this hand before and in black & white striking!
    I walk hand in hand today a very special day for me and the hand I walk with! hugs NG

  6. Very simple; very striking!

    (I have no idea what this knock knock joke says, so I hope it’s funny).

  10. I love taking pics of doors and doorknobs!

  11. A Fanciful Twist

    I just adore door knockers!! I have a huge one of a nature man, sitting in the yard, waiting for a perfect spot.. Every bit of age washing over it, making him more wonderful… xxo

  12. Love is at the door perhaps we should answer it………

    Happy Saturday!
    Love Jeanne ^j^

  18. I love this door knocker! Beautiful post!

  19. I haven’t visited in a while and am delighted to see another door knocker. They are a wonderful detail on French doors.
    Enjoy your Autumn.

  20. What a beautiful door knocker. When I visited some small villages in Tuscany I took some pictures of door knockers.

  21. the smallest doors may lead into the largest rooms…

  22. I think this photo is stunning, it just arreseted me. The detail is lovely and no more true words were spoken. I too like to take photos of unusual archetectural elements. One of the quirky hobbies my daughter and I have is to visit cemeteries while traveling and photograph statuary. I say ditto to Karin’s post, I’d be the first in line for that coffe table book.

  23. qualcosa di bello

    that is the most elegant door handle i have ever seen…& chelsea has a very good eye.

  24. There was exactly the same hand knocker on my grand parents door, sweet memories.
    Corey, you’ve been tagged with a Nice Matters Award, it come from America, but it’s not a cinema Oscar. You will have to tag seven (or less) gentil blogger with the same beautiful old sticker.

  25. It is good to remember!! When we really desire something there will be a special hand to guide and lead us on the journey!!
    You are the special hand to motion and lead me here to Bloglandia!

  26. What a beautiful doorknob it is, too – and it illustrates your lovely words so perfectly.
    I love doorknobs – and doors. You never know what they may open towards…

  27. That’s a beautiful door knocker.:-)

    I love this door knocker Corey. Can you get me
    one? Just kidding. Maybe someday We can knock on each others door and I will let you in….
    I promise

    Saw so many of those in La Colle Sur Loup (06)this summer…
    Every single door had its hand knocker… which made me think of you every single day when walking past them on my way to the baker’s or to the car park…
