This one is on the back door of the Saint-Paul–Saint-Louis church in Paris. I wonder if it's the original; if so, then it's somewhere between 373 and 387 years old. And that makes me wonder if they still have the key. [To see more ABC posts, go here.] |
Excellent photo with the textures and colors!
ReplyDeleteI'd hate to be LOCKED out!

wow, that is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteIf it is lost, this lock would be easy to break, though I hope that doesn't happen. I knew someone once in Paris who swiped keys of famous monuments like the Arc of Triomphe, Notre-Dame.... Caretakers just used to leave them hanging in the keyhole....
ReplyDeleteI love captures of bygone eras! The coloring, rusty texture and age make this especially lovely. Great find!
