Racking my brain and going through my
flickr photostream and wondering what I could show you through my Wednesday Window, I came across this knocker.
Knocker
How do you like a door element for my weekly window? I photographed this one a couple of weeks ago, while in Geneva.
Wow, that is some knocker, only in Europe;)
That’s a humdinger of a knocker!!!
Would love to see door knockers from France on Wednesdays.
I enjoy unusual door knockers like this beautiful one.
The word “knocker” is a slang for boob in the US, so I was curious to when I first saw your Wednesday window word:-)
Good luck with your walking. I’m just your age and I try and do some fast walking most days also. Once I get moving I’m fine, but the getting going is the hard part.
Nice pic Claude ! Just like Evelyn, I was expecting boobies ;-p
Wondering what you pull on to knock (giggle)

Claude, fantastic and please follow the link and have a look at ‘The Sanctuary’ knocker , Durham Cathedral.
We have a copy of this in brass. It hangs in the kitchen.
That’s the best door knocker I’ve ever seen!
We don’t have a door knocker or a bell. Visitors have to use their knuckles.
I would like a big Neptune door knocker though it would look out of place here. I imagine that this is on the door to the Ancient Mariner’s Society or Cousteau Society or retired admiral’s home.
Hm.. It does rather say “Think twice before you knock on this door – is your visit really necessary?”
That’s why I like studying houses/buildings when i travel in Europe. So many interesting and beautiful pieces that one can appreciate or would dream of owning
. Un gros merci Claude
Now I know what a knocker is…Very, very, very inviting, Claude.
Seriously, whenever I look at your flickr, I’m always so impressed by the beauty and the originality of your photos. Thank you for sharing.
Nice to add that aspect. This is a great photo, by the way.
That’s better than ringing the doorbell!
What a beautiful door knocker. I love cool door knockers….and that’s one of the coolest ones I’ve seen.
Claude
A different door knocker photo each week would be fantastic.
