Old Weyerhauser Water Tower

Old abandoned water tower at one of the Weyerhauser sites - if you view in larger you can see all the rust and peeling paint. I had a difficult time getting this pic. There was a curve in the road with nowhere safe to pull off except right across the road. It's pretty big and high off the ground - finally was able to back up enough to get it all in - but it wasn't interesting - so had to do some serious processing - I like the final outcome.
Much nicer than the original I would know - lots of them around here and they are ugly! This is very artistic and appealing!

Very cool shot! I love abandoned water towers and they are all over Chicago. I was thinking of making that a theme for a week this fall. Love the color and texture in this one.

Fantastic processing, it really highlights the rusting paintwork and enhances the feeling of age !

Great processing and pov...guess it would have been hard to get a different pov. :)

Nicely captured and processed. I love the rust and the faded paint. I can see how hard it would be to get just what you wanted with this in the limited space you had.

@pflaume @nanalisarocks @carolb @sansjuan @bristolrose @andrina @joannbayne @grammyn @steviepix @elsbels @mamamia @gerry @swilde @tillycarter @timandelke - thanks for the nice comments on the water tower - I also love finding things like this - I would like to go back when I have more time and get some different shots.
@taffy - here we have a lot too, Taffy - left over from abandoned logging mill sites - and the newer ones are HUGE - and in some cases they paint scenery on them.
