Tavira is a great city for people who like to photograph doors, windows, knobs, knockers and decay. I started snapping as soon as I arrived, here are a few that I found.
My favourites are the fish!
Nine Portuguese Knockers
Come away with the raggle taggle gypsy-o
Lucid Gypsy 
Love the hands. I wonder what thew significance is as there are several of that design.
how delightful are these! hard to pick a favourite.
i must say that is one thing i love about travel in Europe – those ancient buildings with their uniquely crafted doors and windows…. and it looks like Tavira is place that is worth a visit!
Love those elegant fish.
Looks antique and with stories to tell
So gorgeous, Gilly. I also love the fish.The hands are a bit spooky for me. 😯
I’m collecting things that show me Warsaw possibilities on a sixth visit. Door handles here I come! I think my favourite might be the fish too, but more for the peeling paint on the door. A nice Monday morning treat as life sort-of slows down.
I had a similar craze when in Malta – so many lovely door knockers. I still sneak a photo when I see an interesting one. And yes, the fish for me too 🙂
Great fish ones…I have a fox one on my back door! In fact whilst in Dartmouth this summer I came across loads of odd and unusual door knobs and knockers and did contemplate writing a blog but wasn’t sure what I could call and tag it without misleading people and attracting some perhaps unwanted attention!! I still have all the photos so may still write one…
Beautiful door knocker collections, Gilly! Love these designs. 🙂
Absolutely love the variety of ‘knockers’ – who would think there were so many!! 🙂 Must start looking around Bristol – give the job to my walkers, as an observation exercise! 🙂
Interesting set. 🙂
The fish 🙂 🙂
Great collection. I love the older textured doors just as much.
