Door knocker

I love these little lion heads on many old doors whose rings are supposed to let the owners open up for you. I have seen and fotographed many during my life time, many were brass and polished to look golden. They often have different expressions In their face. Mostly they were on the entrance doors of grand and very well kept old houses.
This one is my contribution to Sarumstrollers "Derelict Thursday" challenge, found somewhere in Paris.
