Le loquet


Peter takes me to the prestigious Bibliothèque Nationale de France Paris de Richelieu, and I become fixated on this beautiful old latch on the window upstairs in the museum.  I have no shame.

    This image has a dreamlike quality, Virginia. Nice. I can see it as a book cover for a mystery.

    I also have a picture of a similar one. I love the magic that a single object can have :0
