An old keyhole in Lucca. These are actually still in use; I was given one of those old fashioned type keys to get into my hotel while staying in Lucca.
And yes, still pulling from my archives. Believe it or not, I came down with my illness all over again. Seems the antibiotics didn't work the first time.

please take care of you... health first!
nice macro with the old paint texture...
see you
That's a bummer. Being sick is no fun at all but doing it all over again, that's sick! Take care of yourself. This is the worst time of the year (for sick stuff, not all the other stuff) so hang in there. I miss your pictures.
It's hard to imagine that this thing works! It's a wonderful macro!
Perhaps you got the wrong antibiotic the first go-round? Not much fun getting sick again, though. Hope you will be completely healthy soon!
Beautiful textures and old keyhole.
Take care of you !
I'm sorry to hear your sick, I hope your are well soon!
Love the textures, the old paint is magnificent!
Beautiful detail and composition, but more importantly take care of your self. Get well soon!
Sorry your feeling yucky again. Excellent find.
Love the textures in this picture :D
Can't believe that's actually still in use, it looks like it hasn't been touched for years!
A great pic. When I was a child our Home had a keyhole like this. The key was called a skeleton key. If you chose to lock your door at night the key was turned sideways in the lock from inside the house, a key could not be placed in the lock from outside the house. Simple but it worked!
Take care of yourself and take time to heal thyself!
I want to see you shooting back in AZ. Nevertheless, this is terrific. Wonderful texture, color and composition. Are there cobwebs in the keyhole?
Absolutely great! Hoping you will feel better soon!
Well this is not good news T, that seems to happen a lot these days, just when you think you're on the mend WHAM!! it gets you again! I can't imagine why this image has been in your archives, it's too intriguing to be 'locked' away. I think Bob may be right it does look like a cobweb in there. When Aimee and I stayed in Rome, our hotel had an enormous old key, fascinating.
So sorry you are unwell. It can be disheartening to re-succumb to an infection which one thought was shaken off.
I've been wondering about your images - to what extent they express your style and to what degree your style is a reflection of what is to hand. Would we be able to pick out your pictures in an exhibition made along with other photographers from your area? Maybe not . . . but probably we would.
Beautiful gem you found !!!
Get well, take care !!!
interesting deatils and contrast in this still life nicely done!!!
Beautiful photo and old keyhole.Take care of you...Hugs
So many textures. I wonder what this opens onto!
Yes I am feeling better though I'm exhausted. Hope this time the antibiotics do the trick.
It's a very beautiful picture! Incredible it is still in use!
xo, S.
Doesn't sound good to be ill again. Here many people are ill with stomach problems. At least you have a great archive of photo's, so we still can enjoy your pictures. Hope you will be recovered soon again.
Beautiful textures and shot!
Great detail.
Hope the second round of antibiotics will do the trick!
Great macro. Its strange that in the Italy the outside of the buildings mostly are neglected while the inside almost always are palaces. Hope you are getting well soon and are able to shoot again.
Beautiful close-up of color and texture. I hope this image will offer a key to your wellness. Hope you feel better soon.
I hope the key was in better shape than the keyhole?! And... Brysiwch Wella!
I love the texture in this shot! It almost looks like the keyhole is in a tree. :)
PS: Hope you get to feeling better soon. Being sick sucks...
Wonderful shot!
Please don't overwork yourself!
The keyhole looks Medieval! Great shot. Take care of yourself. Hope to see you up and about taking photos soon! :D
glad to discover your wonderful blog
Love the textures and the muted colours on this.
une porte qui a bien vieilli ; belle matière
I'm sorry to hear you're sick again. Hopefully the second round of meds will get you back up and going again.
I love this shot. Lots of fine little detail and perfectly in focus.
Fascinating old key hole, like the tones and textures. Hope you feel better soon. Take care.
Great old key plate, love the shield shape and surrounding texture. Hope you feel fine soon.
ciao T,
is this my door ?
not leaving in Lucca, which I visited a couple of months ago... (really nice) but yes, not so difficult to find this walking in old cities...
however, really a nice result , well done, ciao
Lovely image and color in this one!
Fabulous close-up, T., love it!
Love tis image... I want it!
What an adventure.
Many getting well wishes and a kind Thursday for you.
Sorry to read that you aren't well. Take care of yourself. That is an order!
Nice photo. I thought Lucca was a wonderful find. We stayed there for two days and it was absolutely charming.
Oh,, I´m so sorry!! I´d read you weren´t all that well, but is a shame to hear that the illness got back. Please take care and rest as much as possibe. There isn´t a better medicine than rest and relax. I send you a big hug and wishing that you get better soon. Meanwhile, this is a good excuse for enjoying some nice shots from the archive :)
Keep well T., sure that in a few days you´ll be fully recovered and on time for enjoying the season:)
Hugs:
Alberto
Do hope you're feeling better and on top of the illness. Most interesting shot, flaky paint makes a fascinating shot. :))
great textures, well seen
Amazing that the corroded keyhole is still functional. Nice capture. Sorry to note about your indifferent health. Pray for your miraculous & quick recovery. Best Regards

Hola, te acabo de conocer. Bueníssimas fotos. Un besazo desde Murcia...seguimos...
Oh..what an exquisite detail. Love the layers of peeling paint..the textures. Great eye!
So sorry to hear you were sick again. Hope it's all gone by now. When I went to Portmeirion in Wales, the hotel I stayed at also used this type of key. I was so fond of it that I photographed it and it is now on the back cover of the picture book I made of the trip to Portmeirion.
I am going to Italy in May of next year. A good friend of mine has a nephew who was just transferred there for work and will be there for about 2 years. He is in Treviso very near Venice. We will be staying with him and touring around the country. I'm very excited.
Get well soon! I love your archive photos and your fresh ones.
this is so interesting and the textures are so cool!
Excelente....
