Under My Nose

I was hunting around for something to take a pic of at lunchtime
when I literally found these under my nose after knocking them off the chest of drawers.
This bunch of keys have been in the house for as long as I can remember and I have no idea what they would unlock.

Is it wrong for me to be visualising a partially moonlit night with scudding clouds, a wind just strong enough to create an eerie howl as it passes through the electrical wires, a guttering candle, a outside cellar door made of thick wood, its ancient hinges creaking as they're opened for the first time in decades, a blood-curdling scream... followed by you, Fudge and Toffee making a run up the stairs and toward the front door and slamming it behind you?
Really, is that wrong?
Alternatively it could make a good WD-40 commercial...

Oh, fascinating. You might have a secret cupboard!

ahhh, and likely to remain a secret...perfect subject matter!!

Mysterious keys, Excellent shot with fine focus and DOF. V

Oh wow, they are old! I would say one for a door and two for cabinets? Wonderful find and photo today. Love the mysterious shadows. V

One can only imagine what treasures they secured at one time. A very thought provoking image.

Great image of these very old looking keys, love the textures.

they likely unlock memories, if only you find the door..

I adore this photo! Keys, especially old keys, have always appealed to me, and this gorgeous minimalist shot is fantastic. VV

I love this minimalist composition and tones and textures. Those rusty old keys create a marvelous feeling of mystery. V

Super detail. Love personal things like that even if you can't remember what they're for!

A photo that you could write a story about. What could these old keys open? Nicely done!
Helen Betts21-Jan-2013 23:04
The light is exquisite and good DOF. I also like the surface with the writing. V.

I would look for very old locks. Great focus, depth of field and textures on these old keys. V.

If they could talk... Lovely use of dof

LOL at John!
These are a fabulous set of old keys! Reminds me of something from the Tower of London (in miniature). :)

That chest of drawers, could it be a treasure chest? Being so well worn they do make great subjects!

Halt, who goes there...
