Passage by Ebbers
Beyond the paint chips
the splinters
the warn away corners
Beyond the ivy
that burrows
into deep crevasses
You will find me
Waiting
My sweetheart and I found this on a day trip to downtown Omaha, Nebraska. It was in a salvage yard waiting for someone to take it home. I wish that someone was me!

Very nice…lovely textures color and composition…well done!
Thanks! Mom (back in Keizer) wants this photo,but with the peeling green paint as more of a barn red color. I’m trying to figure out how to manipulate it, without using all the remaining hours of the rest of my life to do it.
I’m glad you like it!

I understand…thus my penchant for keeping Photoshop manipulation to a minimum! My motto is: “What I see is what you get”. :0)
I agree! Pushing too many buttons is a bit scary for me! I might set off the doomsday device. hee-hee.

I like the quality of this shot, the secret garden springs to mind. There’s a hint of diffused glow on the gate giving a dreamy ghostly feel to the image. The neglected paintwork & rust all add charm. I cant help wondering what lies at the other side.
What a well-thought comment! I have had many people tell me that this reminds them of the secret garden. The salvage area that I spotted this in was really covered in the ivy, so it might as well have been Omaha’s version of the garden! It’s a lovely area.
Thanks again!

Love your image! Composition, colors, structure, the combination of peeling paint, rust, ivy, mysterious feel… It all works so well together. Gets my vote and fav!
