Getting a Grip

By woolybill1
The side-gate in a garden fence. Fence seems an inadequate term to describe what is more of a wooden wall than a simple fence, albeit one requiring rather more in the way of tlc than usual. Taken just a few weeks into the first lockdown nearly ten months ago, it seems apt for inclusion here.

Thanks to Alan, Viola and Richard (estonian) for precious awards yesterday and to everyone who voted and commented, all greatly appreciated.
Thanks for looking.

I am not the only one who takes pictures of handles and knockers then.

Presumably related to your flaking wall of the past days?

No, surprisingly; it's in an almost identical position two or three streets further west.

A tricky shot to compose, Bill but you seem to have got a handle on it.

A simple but clever study of texture and form.

That is so right, there is a smoothness to the paint and wood and it emphasises the handle perfectly.

Excellent capture Bill.
