Mangrove Swamp by Marguerite Foxon

This is from the side of a burnt-out car. I think it looks like an aerial view of a mangrove swamp. Its amazing to me how much color can be found in such a piece of junk. A top flight lens helps! Nikon D90 with 60mm macro handheld 1/60s f16 ISO 800 /

With the July 4th coming up, this sorta reminds me of fireworks and the colors being red, white , and blue is very fitting for the holiday . Train car, graffiti and rust. Nikon D90 / 18-200 mm vr lens
44 drum by Andrew Davoll

I am starting a series of abstracts that I actually enjoy. It is difficult as a photographer to really like some of my own images. But I am excited about these abstracts. There is so much beauty that can be enjoyed from the most unlikely subjects. In this case the side of a 44 gallon drum. PLEASE VIEW LARGE

Broken Dreams by Kathie Nichols

“I remember, the misty cool morning by the beach, the dark clouds rolled across the horizon in slow motion, broken rays of sunlight struggled to reach the earth as the black colorless rainbow exposed itself across the sky. I tilted my head and squinted as I breathed in the salty sweet air. Am I losing it, everything seems shattered and broken, who am I?” Writing inspired by John Fish, who stirs my imagination with every work of art and writing, a truly amazing journey to view and read his works. Super-Macro photograph, focal length 6.0-20mm. Concrete, and rusty patterns from a kerb. Some of my work can be purchased and downloaded from my portfolio at Shutterstock.

Chips Ahoy! by AsEyeSee

Photograph of a concrete wall where layers of paint are exposed.

Metal, paint, cement,glass etc with scratches, bumps, man-made materials on their own or perhaps enhanced by Mother nature with fungus, rust or mould. A photograph of Abstract art that could look like a painting and would look fabulous hanging in your home or office. A macro photograph yet…..a work of art discovered by you and revealed for the world to see. Don’t forget to read the guidelines before joining
