Salut Kathi et Henri. Jattends avec patience de recevoir une boite aux lettres du Pays Basque. Je suis tellement contente. Un tres grande merci d'advance et bonnes vacances. Another fascinating album you have here, showing us more 'old door knockers'. I was especially drawn to the 'glockenspiel' photo #30. I remember buying an identical one in Switzerland, many years ago. I wonder what happened to it? Have a wonderful holiday et a bientot bien sure. Jayne/West Midlands, UK :) xx

Dear Henri and Kaethi, I have really enjoyed looking through another of your albums featuring door knockers I find them all fascinating as you clearly do too Still not sure about the hands ones though maybe you think of them as welcoming you rather than a hand that looks kinda scary.I wonder what you own door knocker is like :o) I love to read your wonderful GB entries they always make me smile and thank you so much for all the information about Ussat I always like to learn about an area and through webshots we are able to do just that. I hope the redevelopement of Ussat is succesful it looks a beautiful place. Take care now my friends Jill

Hi Kaethi & Henri: I am so glad you stopped by this morning to visit my Napa Valley album and sign the guestbook. I may never have discovered this wonderful album of yours on door knockers. This is absolutely outstanding! I love albums like this. I am considering an album of doors in my local area and your work inspires me to get with it! All your albums are beautiful but this one is special! Thanks for sharing...! Ken - Maryland/USA

Hallo, liebe Kaethi! Ich finde dieses Album besonders schoen und interessant. Es gibt wirklich so nette Sachen zum Fotographieren. Mir gefaellt der Loewenkopf-Tuerklopfer so gut. Herzlichen Dank fuer deinen netten GBE in dem Album mit den Fotoexperimenten. Nein, ich verwende nicht das Photoshop-Programm. Ich habe nur ein kleines Fotobearbeitungsprogramm von Microsoft. Es heisst "Picture It! Foto Designer Pro - Pus 10" (ganz schoen langer Name fuer so ein kleines Programm!!!) Die Basis Version war auf meinem ersten Computer vor 5 Jahre gratis mit dabei und nun habe ich mir für 39.-Euro die "Plus 10" Version (Vollversion) gekauft. Es kann sicherlich noch um einiges mehr, als dass was ich damit mache - aber mir fehlt einfach die Zeit, mich mehr damit zu beschaeftigen. Moechte so gerne einen Kurs fuer sowas machen. Ich habe auch noch das Corel Draw 11 (da ist ja Photo Draw mit dabei) aber um mir das auch selbst beizubringen - na, eine unmoegliche Sache von der Zeit her. Ich hab's schon mal versucht, aber meine Familie bekommt die Krise, wenn ich immer am Computer sitze!! Na wirklich, das kann ich verstehen! Die huebsche Dame auf dem Motorrad ist uebrigens meine Chefin! Da hatte sie ihre neue Maschine ca. 1 Woche! Sei ganz herzlich umarmt und ich schicke dir ein Busserl - Trixi :-)

Bonjour Kaethi et Henri, Merci pour votre constant support et inébranlable foi en moi (quel choc j’ai eu, deux features si suivis...) je n'ai pas encore eu le temps de répondre a tous les premiers (plus de 100 G/B), que voila le deuxième : je suis débordée... Mais je suis super contente ! Je vous écris sur cet album qui lui aussi mérite un featured ! A très bientôt, Bisous, Tatiana

i love this album. door knockers are really such pieces of art that people don't take notice of. lucky you to be able to come across so many different and interesting ones. i've added a few dragonfly pics you might like by the way. take care. george-

said dragoneyes112 2005.07.25 at 17:50:32 PDT

Give me a solid 500 year old door with door knocker to match and I am in heaven. Nice to see others who appreciate the same. Christine, Sydney, Australia

Hello Kaethi and Heinz, I love this album! You truly have very brilliant idea of taking shots of all these beautiful knockers, which we all touches everyday, but we all simply overlooked the attractiveness. I'm imagining if I can have an album like this ..... Thank you dear friend for your nice visit to my orchid show. I truly agree with you ... orchids in harmony, peace ... Big Hugs, Big Smiles from CS :-)

Hello Henri and Kaethi, Very intresting to see this wonderful variety of old door knockers in Pyrenean villages. I hope they don't invent the doorbell over there. If I should buy one it would probably be a lion head. Anyway, your album was a joy to visit! Greetings, Tjebbe

said oomt 2005.06.10 at 15:23:27 PDT

Bonjour Kaethi et Henri, Ils sont magnifiques tous ces knockers, et l'idee de cet album est vraiement originale! Comme j'ai l'habitude de choisir mes preferees, pour ma porte j'aimerais le lion de la premiere photo, et aussi la #10 (superbe). Bonne journee et a bientot, Tatiana

said nefertaty 2005.06.10 at 02:04:00 PDT

Mes chers amis Heinz et Kaethi, cet album rassemble une admirable collection de knockers. Celui-ci etait le systeme employe dans mon enfance pour appeler a la porte des maisons. Ils m'apportent beaucoup de memoires de cette epoque. Vous les ont admirablement photographies, avec toute la richesse de details. Cet album est special parce qu'il montre un style de vie que les grandes villes ont deja perdu. Merci d'apporter a Webshots des images tellement belles. Je les remercie et je leur envoie une embrassade et toute mon affection. Jesus

Hi Kaethi and Heinz...I love the idea of a door knocker album. There are so many unique ones in Europe I think. Here it is rare to find them. I like the lion too, and the elaborate one, artistic one and all of them. The ones with hands are a little frightening to me though. I will come back again and look some more soon. Nice album. hugs and much love, Barbara

Encore un bel album bien original!!! Fantastique! De tres belles photos et un theme nouveau! Quelle bonne idee!!!! Felicitations! Reposez-vous bien,pour votre troisieme album que nous attendons deja! Gros bisous de nous trois, Llum

Hi Henri and Kaethi! Wow, what wonderful door knockers! Such a wide variety. The hands are just beautiful, so realistic! The bells are wonderful too. This is a great album, I truly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing with us all...looking forward to your next vacation album! Take care my dear friends...hugs galore..Darlene

said briansbabe2 2005.06.07 at 13:22:37 PDT

Hi Henri and Kaethi, These knockers are not only ornate, they are artistic too! My favorite is the one called, Realistic Hand. So graceful looking! I have a brass one but never did get it hung. Thank you for sharing these with us! Vicky

said squeakerpa 2005.06.07 at 10:58:52 PDT

Hi Henri and Kaethi What a unique album. Door Knockers. Who would think that it would be so interesting! My favorites are of the hands, rings, bracelets, cuffs and all. I also like the ones at the end with the duck and cow. I wouldn't be able to reach the ones up high. I'm too short! Love you Sharon

said sharwils 2005.06.07 at 10:56:54 PDT

Hi Kaethi and Henri! Very interesting to see the variety of these ornate door knockers. I seem to like the simple ones the best; some of the ones in the shape of hands seem a little scary to me (and I'm not being critical of your photography because you did a great job, but they just wouldn't be my choice of a door knocker, if you know what I mean). I know it's just me; but they almost look like a real hand hanging outside the door! :-)) The one hung high up on the door is a real smart idea. Thanks for sharing the life style of the villages in the Pyrenees. Lots of hugs and love, Sharon
