Rusty Old Fence

It's actually not the fence that is old and rusty, but the chain that is fastened around the fence post across from what you see in the above photo. And "old" might not be quite right either...

The view from this side is not so very interesting. But let's walk around and take a closer look.

Already better.

Isn't this just a wonderful display of rust? You wonder why it is here, it doesn't look as if it was used recently. I'm not quite sure the lock is even working.

But it's the stuff for great photos!

That's why I'm linking this to Theresa's "Good Fences".

Rust

This rusty fence or gate I discovered in Olompali State Park near the historic buildings. Only when I came closer did I see all the beautiful detail that was hidden in the shade of the huge trees.

When I saw all the rust I had to think of Knipsa and how much she would like this. I'm pretty sure she would have loved this place.

The gate must have been very pretty once, and it still kept some of that beauty long gone.

Isn't this just beautiful? I loved it and spent quite some time looking for lovely rusty detail. I like how well it works with the green background.

This is, of course, for Kim's Texture Tuesday!
