I live in the city of Roswell, just north of Atlanta, GA. I had hoped today to capture a nice photo of the extant machinery of the Roswell Mill (hydropowered back in the 1800's by Vickery Creek for textiles -- most notably for making Confederate soldier uniforms)--lots of old pipes, water mills, and general good ole rusted stuff. The lighting today was just not very good, and while I got some shots, they just really didn't please me.
I'm submitting this photo as it does seem to fit the "the examination of the normally unseen or off-limits parts of urban areas or industrial facilities." This prison wire is located just outside the 1853 Machine Shop, the only extant building left of the original 1839 Roswell Manufacturing Company. The building is a two story brick building and is late Georgian in style. The trail to the left of the Machine Shop leads to the old mill ruins and the dam where I initially started all my shots.
There was something in the way this little warning to "keep out" struck me and so it's probably not a very good visual for the challenge, but in the context of where I was, I thought it fitting. It also is wrapped by a bit of nature--funny how even nature won't "keep out" either.
The day started with lots of rain and thunderstorms, but it was nice to get out with my gear (tripod and all--yes, totally geeked out!) and get a wonderful walk in too.
I forgot. I did mess with this photo so not SOOC--only adjusted exposure, though. It was "almost there"
I live off Sandy Plains Road! Near where Wesley Chapel dead ends into it ! We are neighbors. I just used filler for today...a run down old gas station on the way to Lake LANier...so rainy today and I hear more is coming! Love the natural softness on this razor wire!
@espyetta Well, hello neighbor! Storms all last night -- sheesh. I'm afraid to go outside -- loved your gas station photo. We went up to Lanier a ton last summer with a pass for the waterpark!
This is a great abstract shot and all the better given its harsh subject. I love how you captured the weed growing around it. Nice contrast with the iron.
@foxsparrow Never worry about getting to me or back to me on comments--I have no idea how everyone does it to be honest! Thanks for commenting, though! Love your visits! :)
