  4. Nice shot. I don't recall seeing any of those in my travels through Europe, but I didn't get to Denmark. Also, that was a long time ago.

    Happy WW!

  5. You just don't see door handles like this! How totally cool. I'd pay big money for that.

  13. These kinds of door knockers always make me leery for some reason...like I will squeeze too hard and they will come to life and say "ouch!"

  15. Ok -- this is really cool. :)

    I took lots of door photos on my last trip to Italy - it's amazing how ornate and detailed some of them are.

  16. Nice! You have a good eye for the macro shots. I wouldn't expect that much detail in a doorknocker, but there it is.

  17. Wow, great photo. I don't think I've ever seen such a detailed door knob.

  18. Oh, I love that doorknob, and I wonder what the inside of the church must look like if even the doorknobs are so ornate!

  19. What a coll and interesting door knob!

  20. amazing, what a rare sight to see :)

  21. That has to be the prettiest doorknob ever. Too bad no one builds churches and/or homes with beautiful details anymore. Everything is straight and plain.

  22. Great shot! They certainly don't make them like that anymore. I love it.

  23. What a beautiful thing! And it will only get more beautiful with time as more people touch it....

  26. Oh, just love that! Wonder how old it is...

  27. Thanks to you, I just spent too many minutes on flickr staring at other people's photoes of this door knob, trying to figure out what the heck the human figure is clutching (or wrestling?). Still don't know :( but Ribe Domkirke looks like it's full of all sorts of interesting objects.

    Hard to believe the door is only from 1904!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I didn't realize the door was so new! The church itself is hundreds of years older.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Wow, that is just beautiful. I've never seen such a unique door knob anywhere.

    ReplyDelete
  30. This one is just too funny!

    We visited Ribe domkirke some years ago (must have been after 1904 though), but we probably went through another door because I am sure we would have noticed this.

  31. Oooh, I really love this. It's beautiful and sweet and just really neat.
