Harde Ned

CoroJo @zeezee challenged me to capture natures colours, this is the effect of nature on an item at the beach.

No prizes but what IS Harde Ned??

@zeezee Not sure this was what you were thinking of, but hope you approve

Great shot with wonderful rusty tones. It probably has been hardened by the elements ;-)

Clever

I love rust!! It has so much texture!
I don't think that is Harde Ned. I think it is supposed to be Hardened - as in to make hard.
I believe it is a process done to steel that may be exposed to harsh elements to make them last longer.
But - I may be wrong (it does happen every so often, lol!!)
Happy New Year, Jackie!!

It is a lock and link for something - could be on the dock or at a gate, but I think it is a lock and link of some sort!

[JackieR]

[KoalaGardens🐨]

Nice rusty textures and colors. My husband was a blacksmith and his anvil had holes in it tthat held pieces of metal so he could bend hot metal in a certain pattern around them. This was called a hardy hole. Could it be that Ned was a blacksmith and this was a hardy (variation of spelling) hole he used in his work?

Beautiful colors

[summerfield]

the spacing of the letters is uniform which suggests that it is just one word: hardened. great close up. aces!
