Mangrove Swamp
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
Mangrove Swamp belongs to the following groups:
60 and Beyond, Abstract Art, Abstract Macro Urban Art (eg Grungy), Natural Textures and Old & Rusty Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Great shot Marguerite. You always manage to find beauty in the least likely places.
Marguerite Foxon replied
Many thanks for your kind comment. I have trying to train my eye to find things in unlikely places!!
Haydee Yordan...
This is very pretty. Great find. Beautiful colors. Congratulations.
Marguerite Foxon replied
Thank you Mariarena for your visit and comment. Im glad you like it. The owner of the junk yard thought I was crazy shooting photos of his rusted and burned out cars!
Haydee Yordan...
Yes Marguerite, I understand the feeling. When I go with my camera and spend hours shooting the sand… people think I am crazy… some even come and ask “what are you doing?” Artists have something others don’t… is it crazyness?
Marguerite Foxon replied
I think so. We just pluck up courage and do these crazy things! Thanks for the fav of this photo by the way.

Wow, this is beautiful Marquerite, and yes it really does look like an aerial shot, something I really want to do. The colours are superb as with the great textures.
Marguerite Foxon replied
Thanks Wayne – appreciate your comments very much. I did shoot a couple of buildings today (one very colorful) so keep an eye out for those when I upload tomorrow. You are the building expert!

Marguerite Foxon replied
Hi Richie and thx for the comment. Yes, it does look like an aerial and thats what appealed to me. I saw that as I rotated it 90 degrees.

Perfect title Margaret – you are to these rust abstracts what Julian is to architectural photography – in a realm all of your own – stunningly beautiful this.
Marguerite Foxon replied
Geoff – how nice to see you back and around … you’ve been on vacation or just having a breather from RB? Thanks for your very affirming comment. I took a couple of hundred shots of these burnt out cars at the local junk yard – the owner thought I was nuts!! So you should see a few more in time.
