  1. Rusted metals are beautiful, so full of character and texture. I love these images.

    • Thanks Dezra. I find the colours and textures of corrosion a fascinating subject to photograph.

  2. Lovin’ those gorgeous cogs and wire ropes! My kind of materials. “Crane” is really beautifully composed.

  3. I thought I had commented on this? I’ll try again. Your rusty gears are fabulous, but I’m quite smitten with the grayness of the scene of Great Orme.
