There's something I love about cogs on old machinery - and when they're rusty... well, I love the patina and the pattern and the sense of venerable age. This was a pic I shot for my 'Rust' monthly photography theme but I decided it was an 'also-ran'. My viewpoint was, I think, just a bit too high.
Retained as a sculptural reminder of the buildings' industrial and textile heritage, the weaving loom is slowly oxidising outside the Victoria Mills complex (see also here). I wonder how long it will last before it all falls to bits? (Longer than I will, I'll bet!)
I think this is very good. From too high a perspective? Perhaps a lower angle would be more graphic, but I don't see this perspective as a problem.
ReplyDeletefashinating... looks good !
ReplyDeleteI agree with Jack - looks fine to me.
ReplyDeleteI am drawn to these things too. We often see bits and pieces of machinery on the farms we pass. Some look like they are becoming one with the landscape. I agree, they will be long after us!
ReplyDeleteI agree , rust makes great pictures!
ReplyDeleteNice picture ! and not rusty at all, lol !
ReplyDeleteIt has great colour and texture together with patterns and lines.
ReplyDeleteIt's a smashing photograph and I think you might be a little too critical of your own work. There is something rather warm and friendly about rust (as long as it isn't in your car sills)
ReplyDeleteIt is such a great photo. I like the textures and colors and the metal parts make a great pattern.
