This was an old iron door knocker, affixed to a gate, which when opened, gave an entry into some fabulous gardens, with sculptures, florals, water features, memorabilia, etc. This was a rich experience!

Thanks much, Renee, as this was a tour of a totally restored late 1800's home and gardens, and this was the entry to the gardens, so it was a perfect day for shooting. I truly appreciate your gracious and welcomed comments on this piece, and for visiting my website. It is much appreciated. That is what family is all about to support one another, and you surely are doing your part in supporting the artists in our WFS group.

Thanks much Deb, as this was on the entrance to the restored historical gardens and mansion we visited that belonged to a friend of ours who is an artist, and totally restored the late 1800's home of grandeur and beauty, and the gardens too, so it was quite a visit and lovely experience!

Voted for the 12-12-12 forum in Self Taught Artist Group, love the door knocker features and the rust appearance perfect to remind us how long this door knocker was, except part of the date stamped on the photo.
