Every Wednesday I follow along with Helena's photo pairs project (you can find out more about it here) and by the end of the day, each week, I'm determined to be on the look out for a good pairing to contribute. I finally found one when I was looking over my pictures from that other great photo event of the summer: Rinda's Photography Scavenger Hunt. Find an ornate door knocker, she said. So I did. But I couldn't help keeping an eye open for any more examples. I found both of these in Norway
The sublime:
From the door of a traditional Stave Church. I don't usually take pictures inside churches, but this was on the way out
The ridiculous
Not a door knocker, you say? Well, it's hung on the front of the door where the knocker would be and he was just begging to have his picture taken. I'm sure he'd like to think his antlers were pretty ornate.
From the sublime to the ridiculous: my surplus to requirements door knockers. You'll find more pairs over at Helena's!
Ha! Love it. I think you win for most amusing door knocker.
ReplyDeleteboth fabulous in their own way and I love what each announces about the building it is on
ReplyDeleteGIGGLES!! That is waaaaay funny. Thank you for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteYou know ... with my propensity for juvenile interpretations, I think it's best I don't pass any comment on your ornate knockers.
ReplyDeleteFair enough. I nearly wrote that I had a spare pair of knockers, but then I thought: No Sian, don't advertise the fact, keep them to yourself..
DeleteThe first is truly lovely, but the second one is apt to get even more attention! Great pair!
ReplyDeleteThey are both great knockers lol x
ReplyDeleteOh I love him! And I best he is much photographed!
ReplyDeleteFantastic find. And if you do have a pair of spare knockers, well I say more power to you. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've got to love someone's sense of humour .... I bet whoever opens the door, is always treated by a smiling laughing person as they see his face lol
ReplyDeleteThat's a great pair of knockers - nicely spotted and photographed!
ReplyDeleteOpposite ends of the spectrum. Great photos!
ReplyDeletefabulous pairs....
ReplyDeleteI love both of those! The reindeer doesn't look very waterproof!
ReplyDeleteOh they are both ornate - in completely different ways :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pleased that other people have commented on what an impressive pair of knockers you've got as that was my first thought for a comment!
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say? I usually try to keep pretty modest about them..
ReplyDeleteI love the reindeer so much, I think I may have to make one for our own door!
ReplyDeleteThis definitely brought a smile to my face. Those antlers are pretty ornate, I guess! LOL
