Back to my handholding theme. Thirty years ago I used to smoke a pipe (like an idiot) and I still
have a decorative collection of these things just to remind me of my folly. This pipe is an
original Peterson's design dating from 1892. The hand holding it, dates from 1947. It may shake a
bit but hopefully the latter will survive a few more years yet. Now all I have to do is give up
drinking ... you've got to be kidding!!!

A beautiful composition. i tried on of these a few days ago, but couldn't get far enough away from my hand, and the vacuum cleaner was out of reach too :))) A really creative idea, character in that hand and the pipe it holds. BBV

Your very handy with a camera aren't you. Great photograph. Like it very much.

Smoking is crazy these days, drinking has not yet proven to be. Cross that one off your list.
Wonderful warm photo with comforting memories of days gone by. Do you know what the wood is? It is lovely.

Wow! Excellent focus and tones. You either used a very tiny camera or had an elaborate set up. I like it. V
