The Old Mine
by pablo

Went out on a cloudy day to take pictures of trains. I didn't get any decent shots of those, but while lost on a winding country road,I ran across this structure.
It is shot in full auto. It caught my eye because of the colors.
It turns out that it is an ochre mine. Hydrated ferric oxide, a natural organic pigment.

Way to go Paul, an interesting mix of textures, color, and shapes for the eye to enjoy.
I'm glad you left it a color image and not B & W, the earthtones are very pleasing to the eye. Mark J

A good eye may show that even dirt and rust can look beautifull.. you managed to do that. Hewy
