This is a very old hinge.

I found this old hinge on Aldo Leopold's shack near Portage, Wisconsin. I like the rust and color against the weathered wood.

7 Days of Shooting –

Week #16 (w/b 25 October) Graveyards/Cemeteries- Sometimes, we just need to go to places that are possibly considered morbid and even uncomfortable. However, there is no question that for wonderful moody shots graveyards can help us catch some wonderful history and even beauty through those old gravestones and elaborate sculptures. However, if you are like me you will not be taking any night shots!!

Macro Monday - Focus just inches away from your subject so as to produce big close-ups, sometimes even larger-than-life size.

Found these in my grandfather’s optometrist’s chest. They are part of fasteners used to connect the hingers of eyeglasses. Typically used for old style horn-rimmed glasses.

A hinge is a mechanical device that connects two solid objects, allowing rotation between them. Hinges may be made of flexible material or of moving components. In biology, many joints function as hinges. They are also known as shangles in old tudorian English (the large hinges on doors)

While out on a adventure of photographing barns and old things, I saw these really cool hinges. I decided to photograph them in an upwards position rather than the usual straight on version. Taken this way gives a more dramatic effect to the whole photo, well..I think so anyway .

A door along the Enchanted Trail near the entrance to Fairyland Caverns at Rock City. Old world style on top of Lookout Mountain was just too fun to resist.
