We both love going to see steam trains and the volunteers at
Tanfield work enthusiastically to restore the engines and carriages which fill the sheds and yard. Me, I like the small details and try to capture some of the decay and rust before the restoration starts. The first image was an old can which appears to have been burnt at some stage but now has grass growing out of it. The second image is more poignant - the original number of the train is just visible beneath a layer of paint. So much work went into these old engines and it's a shame that some of it is lost for ever.

Very interesting and artistic photos. The green and rust of the old train is very earthy, like moss on a log. I like your new header banner- beautiful colours and graphics.
ReplyDeleteBoth beautiful photos, so glad you were there before the (very worthwhile) restoration started ;)
ReplyDeleteThere's so much texture in these.
ReplyDeleteI love old things, especially if they're covered in textures and rust. We have a train museum close to us that restores old engines and cars. It's a fun place to go and shoot.
ReplyDeleteLovely rust, Julia! From one rust junkie to another!
