The back doors of a welding shop warn of gas storage and present as a timepiece where years are measured by material that scraped those doors, and left their mark.
Mike's Look at Life
A personal blog communicating issues around life including horrific loss and overwhelming joy, and many things in between.
The color combination of rust and blue/gray are lovely indeed.
Yeah, I saw this from 300 yards while I was shooting something else. Thanks.
I like rust! My favorite
It really is rich isn’t it.
Is it the door that’s non-flammable or what was inside, I wonder?
Yeah that door would survive a nuclear blast.
Whenever I look at your images, I see something that I might want to use when creating a matte painting or a composite image. Have you ever considered trying stock photography? I think your old buildings and doors could do well in the right community.
Thanks David. I have considered stock many moons ago when I didn’t really have sufficient image quantity to query.
I appreciate that thought, perhaps I will see how it all works.
This is a fabulous contrast; young and old, dark and light, night and day.
Thanks Tim. I really like the image also and it ranks as one of my favorites. I appreciate that you took the time to tell me that.
Rust can be beautiful!
That’s what I’m thinking.
And thank you!
Rust rules! Beautiful shot and featured in The Legion of Door Whores to boot! Sweet!
Thank you Jagged brother. Rust does rule!
I don’t quite know how you do it Mike, but you make rust come alive! This is beautiful, nicely composed and wonderfully shot, with just the right amount of text to accompany it. Lovely!
Thank you Lorna. Right amount of text is the hard part.
Love that rust!!!!
Thanks!
Oh, I really like the rust… wish I could replicate those colors on fabric!
Good rich texture. Thanks.
Excellent find and shot.
Thanks hutch. This one I saw from a distance. Some things are hard to miss.
I like all the textures in this shot!
And they like you! Thanks Michael.
