glimpses of blackheath 3 wf.jpg

Like most photographers I LOVE decay. Can't get enough rust, bubbling paint and rotting timber to
ever be truly satisfied. I saw this padlock protecting some rusting steel case on the railway fence
near Blackheath Station. Heaven only knows what's inside but I don't think anyone can have seen it
for 15 years or so.

You've Mastered that rust (sorry). You are right a good bit of decay is a camera magnet.

Great shot David. At 77+ years I am quite familiar with decay ;-) v

You are correct about liking decaying stuff. Well seen, David, and good details again from the G12.
