The taint of age can be very beautiful. The wreckage of man-made objects is something more beautiful than the new. Rust and weathering adds a patina of elegant gorp.

a penny for your thoughts?
It has a beauty all it’s own.
oui très jolie mais un polluant du sol dans cet état là !…
I love the mood of your beautiful capture!
Hey Sherri,
You wrote this on my photo today: sherri from Little Rock, Arkansas, United States Edit Report Comment
awh, it almost looks like it’s wearing a garland on its head
a person could Photoshop the fence out and totally fool viewers : – )
Funny but I also thought it looked like he was wearing a garland on his head. Just for fun I accepted your challenge and Photoshopped the fence out of my longhorn photo. I cannot seem to send it to you through Aminus3 in the normal route by clicking on the “contact” button at the bottom since you do not use the regular format, so I do not know how to send it to you. I cannot find your email address, just my own. If you want, email me and I’ll send it to you.
I agree with Brett Weston and your photo is a wonderful illustration of it.
J’aime beaucoup ta photo !! magnifique le texte !
A great find among the foliage! I love how the weathered color and rust blend with the landscape!
I agree with that quote. Your image is a beautiful illustration of it.

The rust and colour of the car blends beautifully with the surrounds Sherri.
I like patina and rust. Nice framing also
Beautifully composed image! I love the point of view! A great quote which is so true.
I’ve always felt that way. I agree with him. And what a phrase, “elegant gorp”!!
Perhaps it’s why I embrace the Japanese wabi sabi. As he says, “the taint of age can be very beautiful.”
