This is actually a close up of a section of an abandoned boxcar that I found two days ago.
I fell in love with the Color, texture, shapes and lines of the various details it flaunted.
I have a series of abstract/texture type images from this particular find
which I will share a handful of over the next couple of months.
Thanks for looking
Natural light :)
