This week's PhotoHunt theme is "Hands."
A few carved-in-stone hands seen on the streets of Venice. I was surprised how many of these I had.
We did this theme a couple of years ago; my first take on this theme was more colorful and less stony than this one. :)
Happy Friday and have a great weekend.
You can find more Photo Hunters and join the hunt here.

I like both of your takes on this theme, but I especially like the saying "If We All Hold Hands We Can't Fight" on the one photo from the first :) Happy weekend!

I did remember the last time we did HANDS.
What pretty neat finds - you were able to make a set.

I know where No.2 and No.4 are, but not No.1 and No.3.
*****************************************************
Hi Bert, No. 1 is in Santa Croce, very close to campo San Stin. No. 3 is in the Rialto Market area.

The pictured hands remind of the different hand "poses"/gestures that the Buddha gets shown making. Gather that each and every one of them has a particular meaning -- but not being religiously inclined, I frequently don't know what they're supposed to be saying. :S

A: Such a great collection! This is a great post for this week's theme. I was, on the other hand, more mundane.

I remember your more colorful one, but this on is very interesting. I kept my eye out for all the different monuments and carvings when I was in Venice, because of all of the ones I have learned about on your blog!! :))

Great finds! Love them all!!
I had a hard time finding one this time. I wanted to do a different take than the clock hands I did last time.
