A closeup of some abandoned piece of junk. It actually served two separate purposes during its time but is now languishing in a landfill site. Perhaps the metal was salvaged, but chances are the whole thing has been buried and forgotten. Future garboligists will marvel at its artistry and promptly step on a rusty nail in their enthusiasm of such a discovery.

Enjoy and your comments welcomed.

Oh there's that wry sense of humor again - I like how you got wonderful textures in this from the wood to the pitted metal.

Wendell - It looks like framing, from an old barn perhaps. As Kathy notes, fine textures in this image. Thad

So, Wendell, now you're spending your off hours at the local landfill. I once worked at the local landfill. It paid minimum wage but came with all you could eat.

I really like you're posting. Looks like a lot of iron oxide to me. I feel an overpowering need to head up your way and pound that rusty nail into the wood before someone catches their tuxedo on it. Your shot has great colors and clarity. Love the look of the old wood and the colorful rust. Did you take this with your new lens? Great narrative as always.

I'm not afraid of dying. I just don't want to be there when it happens.

It has a tetanus cast about it Wendell. I can see you have taken the shot. One man's junk as they say is ................

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

It remaindas me a huge picture hanging on the wall of a friends' house made of metal, only the color was silver, a beautiful art work, if you make a copy of this design in silver metal it would be beautiful as decoration, I like your photo very much, Wendell so as your humor in the narrative!
