I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much. ~Mother Teresa
Sometimes in an empty abando it gets a bit desperate of, what can I photograph..? So we end up shooting cupboard door knobs and other small things

A nice jug handle style arch, all lit up when the sun reappeared. And down there at the base, that's a hole or a window, making this yet another double for the day.

After a morning climbing up & down Mollie's Nipple, we hit Pioneer Park in St George and found unexpected arches. See an arch, shoot an arch, that's what I always say (when I see an arch) so here are too many arch pictures. It might get kind of arch-intensive around here today, so feel free to skip right over 'em :)

Handle on my dad's 1951 Dodge truck that I used to ride in as a kid. It sits derelict behind his house waiting patiently.

āTo them, their fingers are eyesā
From 1913, John Alfred Charlton Deas, a former curator at Sunderland Museum, organised several handling sessions for the blind, first offering an invitation to the children from the Sunderland Council Blind School, to handle a few of the collections at Sunderland Museum, which was āeagerly acceptedā.

You don't want to drop any of these whilst loading onto the aircraft!

An Anchor Handling Tug Supply Vessel of the VS 490 design. Normand Ranger is a powerful anchor handling vessel with a bollard pull of 287 tonnes.
The vessel is equipped with a Multi Deck Handler and an Anchor Recovery Frame for safe anchor handling operations on deck.
SHIP HISTORY
Delivered from Ulstein Verft on 5 May 2010. Ulstein Verft won the contract with GIEK and Sparebank 1 SR-Bank for completion of the anchor handling vessel. The ship came to Ulstein Verft from the bankrupt shipyard Karmsund Maritime Service in August 2009. The completion was a challenging task, but Ulstein Verft delivered the project to the agreed terms within time.
āIt is challenging to take over a half produced vessel. We had to get a complete picture of everything that had been done, and whether it had been done correctly in relation to the regulations. Furthermore, we needed to provide an overview of which suppliers were still a part of the project. The interaction between engineering, procurement, planning and production was very important. We have an organisation that has the necessary expertise and experience to handle such challenges," said the yard's managing director on occasion of the delivery.
āWe are very satisfied with the completion of Normand Ranger. The project has fulfilled our expectations when delivered from Ulstein Verft today," said Lars Peder Solstad, managing director at Solstad Offshore.
Normand Ranger entered the spot market in the North Sea after delivery.
Ulstein and Solstad have collaborated on several prestigious projects earlier such as the construction of Normand Installer and Normand Seven. Ulstein Verft has built 17 vessels for Solstad. The first anchor handling vessel, Normand Drott, was delivered in 1984.
Ulstein Verft vann kontrakten med GIEK og Sparebank 1 SR-Bank om ferdigstilling av eit stort ankerhandteringsfartĆøy for Solstad. Skipet kom frĆ„ det konkursramma Karmsund Maritime Service AS, og vart ein viktig brikke for Ć„ fylle opp produksjonskapasiteten ved Ulstein Verft.
- Solstad har vore ein viktig kunde for Ulstein i ei Ć„rrekkje, og dette er ei moglegheit til Ć„ gjenoppta det tette og gode samarbeidet vi har hatt tidlegare. Vi har samarbeidd om fleire prestisjeprosjekt tidlegare som til dĆømes bygginga av Normand Installer og Normand Seven. Sistnemnde vart Ć rets skip 2007. Vi ser fram til Ć„ kunne utvikle oss vidare saman med Solstad, sa dĆ„verande administrerande direktĆør Karsten SƦvik i Ulstein Verft.
Skipet er av typen VS 490 AHTS frĆ„ WƤrtsilƤ Ship Design. Det er 91 meter langt, 22 meter breitt, har ei innreiing for 58 personar og fĆ„r ei dĆødvekt pĆ„ om lag 4500 tonn. Arbeidet pĆ„ skroget vart stoppa i samband med konkursen, men vert slept til Ulstein Verft i midten av august 2009.
- Det Ć„ fullfĆøre eit slikt prosjekt er krevjande, men Ulstein Verft er i ein svƦrt god posisjon for Ć„ gjennomfĆøre denne type prosjekt dĆ„ vi har naudsynt kompetanse og kapasitetar i verksemda, fortalde SƦvik.
- I og med at vi vart einige med Eidesvik om Ć„ utsette byggnummer 285 og 286, fekk vi ei opning til Ć„ ta pĆ„ oss meir arbeid i perioda som bygg 290 no vil fylle. Dette er fĆørst og fremst viktig arbeid for engineeringsomrĆ„det vĆ„rt som elles ville fĆ„tt mindre Ć„ gjere utover hausten 2009. I tillegg vil dette prosjektet ogsĆ„ vere viktig for andre omrĆ„de i verftet, avslutta SƦvik.
Normand Ranger vart levert frƄ Ulstein Verft 5. mai 2010.
No, not that sort of snake handling.

Art at the handle of the door of the church St. Mary in the Capitol in Cologne. I wonder, what was the real reason for the makers to put the devil there, i. e. what message they wanted it to give to people.
Words and heart should be handled with care, for words when spoken and hearts when broken are the hardest things to repair.
for 7DoS: not many dots/ spots around my hotel room this evening, but I did find this one in the middle of a handle.
The magic of brass. It holds so many useful properties.
It is very durable. It can withstand big changes in temperature without cracking. This is one of the reasons it is used for sculptures that will be exposed to many years of weather.
Although it is very strong, it is also suitably malleable. Again, this makes it a material well suited for sculptures as well as other ornamental object and even pipe fittings.
Brass also is very resistant to corrosion. Who wants corroded scuptures?
My favourite quality of brass is that it comes in my favourite colour. Shiny.
What I learned today though is that brass has another magical and mystical quality. It is finger print resistant! There can be no other explanation.
Or perhaps this restaurant in Downtown St. Catharines, Ontario employs the similar elves to the shoemaker.

Unusual door handle and fancy brass door plate in the National Trust managed property Belton House.
The Belton House emblem dog is a greyhound. The Brownlow family, who owned Belton House for 300 years, had permission from Elizabeth I to use a greyhound in their crest. The greyhound appears in various forms throughout the estate.
For 7DOS I've chosen the theme "old tools" as I want to try something a bit different. This is part of the handle of a very old screwdriver - scuffed & worn. More texture than I usually like in minimal photos, but I hope this shows the age of the tool.
So I took the initial image on my ipad and when I posted it you could see the pixels from the screen peeking through. I decided to put this to my benefit and edited this in photoshop to look like a painting thus making the background an asset instead of a distraction.
Flint knife with a fish-tail shaped blade.
The handle is covered in gold leaf and decorated with scenes typical of Naqada II phase paintings found on pottery vases. Three female figures, probably dancers, stand in a line holding one anotherĀ“s hand, the first one to the left holds a fan. The four wavy lines on the right hand side of the handle represents the water of the Nile, while the other side of the handle shows a boat with two cabins.
The knife was not intended for use in daily life, but rather had a religious function and was used for rituals.
Naqada II, provenance unknown.
