Half and Half - The Muster Point by onewing

Half and Half - The Muster Point

Today's half and half photo was taken at the Muster Point in Newcastle.

The Muster Point is a memorial sculpture for Newcastle BHP Steelworkers commemorating the closure of the Steelmaking Plant.

If anyone is interested here is a link about the Muster Point.

great half and half. love the rust colour. We must go and see it next time we are up that way. My husband worked for Stewarts and Lloyds for almost all his working life in their office and warehouse in Sydney and then in N.T., Queensland and S.A. I also worked there and that is where we met. So the steelworks were a huge part o his life. Thankyou so much for the link. We had a nostalgic drive around there last time we were in Newcastle.

What fabulous figures! Makes a great half and half shot and the rust is just sumptuous. Interesting what you said about feathers yesterday, a lot of people seem to agree with you. Nice thought.

This is a good one. I am starting to wilt with ideas for this fun in May.

This is beautiful. What a wonderful thing to do, to honor all those people who's lives were entwined with the mills all those years. This is a favorite, for sure.

@cruiser I think you can still have Muster Point tours and a chap called Aubrey Brooks organizes them.

@ethelperry thanks Ethel. I won't do a full month of this theme, but I am aiming to find 25 pictures and then put them all in a 5 x 5 collage. Fingers crossed.

A great find. I like the textures and colour of the rust. A great image for the challenge.

@hermann Yes, I did a month of rust and the Muster Point featured in that.

So well spotted and captured!

Nice find- we can relate in this area as two nearby cities (Allentown and Bethlehem) had major steelworks. The area still hasn't fully recovered from their closure. Good shot!

Love the rust!

The Muster Point is a great place to visit. You can get inside the huge sculpture and it is a brilliant subject for photography. I did a whole month of shots on rust that included lots of muster point photos a couple of years ago.

@ethelperry Hi Ethel. I didn't start at the beginning of the month because I wanted to post a photo of my Dad on the 3rd May. So I started after that. I have decided that I am going to aim to do 25 half and half shots and them put them all together in a collage. 5 x 5. Well that's my plan anyway. Hope I can stick to it.
May 11th, 2017  
This makes a great half and half. Sounds like a fascinating place to visit. A lot of tragedy though, from reading the stories on your link.
May 11th, 2017  
cool! unusual
May 12th, 2017  
Bingo, just perfect for the half and half. Love the little cutout figures.
May 12th, 2017  
Wow, you really have the eye for this challenge!

Well spotted and well taken shot xx
