Beautiful, I love the rusty staples too
Martha Sherman replied:
Thank you so much, Michael! This merged my loves of rust and old hardware, so I was happy to find it.
Martha Sherman
Ha! I'm happy you recognized this one, Lesley. That church had so many fine features. Thank you so much for your lovely comments.

I was writing a comment on another of your pictures when I saw this one in your thumbnails and I thought......"I know where that was taken!!!".....and I was right. It is a really great shot of this church door handle....nice work. Like and favourite
Martha Sherman
Many thanks for the terrific comments, Robert. I agree that door knockers, and indeed a lot of hardware, make for wonderful subjects.
Martha Sherman
Thank you, Wiggy, but I made a mistake on this one. It should have been Dartmouth, the one we visited. I guess Plymouth was on my mind because we have a Plymouth in the U.S. also. Sorry.

Thus is beautiful in it’s simple subject, complex in it’s details... and totally awesome. Following you on FAA.

Thank you so much, Rick! I love old hardware for some reason, and I really liked the workmanship on this door knocker. I wish I could have found out how old this particular piece is, but I'm guessing many decades since it's so ornate as well as rusty.
Martha Sherman
Many thanks, Bunny, for these great comments! I love the art and skill put into something simple like this door knocker. And the weathered wood is such a mellow and beautiful surface for showcasing the gloriously rusty door knocker.
Martha Sherman
Thank you so much, Lesley, for these wonderful comments! I found this hardware quite beautiful, as so much else inside that church was also.

What a gorgoeus find and macro Martha. Love this. The intricate art work makes this along with the textures.
