Urban Scrap Basford

Part of my lunch time work walking route.

Colson scrap yard in Basford with winter clouds, winter trees and a colourful frontage filling a slot on my 365.

It certainly looks like a scrap yard....the colours are very scrap yard like ! That car needs to move out of the way, I know it's nowhere near that crane but it's very nicely poised!

@happypat thanks pat , I keep thinking I've fully photographed Basford, but there is always something new to capture. The River Leen is just out of shot ...well a culvert wall, diverting it around the industrial units and under the road is just out of shot

I always enjoy your description of your processing choices. I usually only understand a bit if what you write, but I find it very impressive. BYW, love the graphics on the fence.

Colorful and interesting scene Phil. That's a load of "scrap"!! :-)

[Sylvia du Toit]

Thanks for sharing.

It looks like a very busy scrapyard. The advert on the wall make it look less unattractive. Lovely capture.

Very interesting photo!

[Ivan]

Very urban...nicely shown, Phil.

I like the splashes of red in this and the forced persective is rather fun - the scrap in the grab makes it look like a large magnet that is about to attach itself to the roof of the car and lift it over the hoarding!

[Al Bailey]

You don't see so many scrap yards now ..... fab shot and I like the processing too :)

[Loopy-Lou]

Great urban shot

@happypat

It does look rather inopportune! I like all the scrapyard colour combinations, Phil.
