Fence line and must be some angles there, maybe a bit of a shoe horn

Sneaks in for the week for me. Bet there are some nice views there.

Great snowy shot and I've shoe horned in much more tenuous images

Thanks Adam, yes it’s not bad up there and best of all the farmers/council have done a pretty good job clearing most of the roads.

Thanks Negan, no doubt there will be more shoe horns from me sooner rather than later

 

[AlanDorset]

Good shoehorn to get a nice image in.

 

[Boots]

I can't see a shoehorn... Definitely lines and angles. Nice image!

Ahem...

Nice snowy shot!

Nice snowy shot!

Thanks Dave, perhaps the line and angle was not the main subject

 

[Darkslinger]

Maybe the lines aren't so apparent but it is a lovely shot Keith.

 

[Cloudforest]

Works for me Keith. A lovely snowy shot with lines in it. Job done!

 

[NickD]

It's gol lines, job done. Lovely light there.

 

[Barney]

No shoehorn there Keith, love the angle of the hill and trees, contrasts nicely against the mountain skyline

Week 2 Rust and decay

Few years ago when we were walking along the river bank my wife noticed something sticking out of the ground, turned out to be this iron. No idea why we kept it but it has finally been used again. Was going to do a stack to get it all in focus but thought better to get it out of the house before my wife noticed the dead spiders

[Norkie]

That’s cool
I did wonder what it was, I saw it in the main thread first.

 

[Boots]

Yes, that works very well. An intriguing and interesting image.

 

[Cloudforest]

That's a rather good close up Keith. I can see it's an iron now but only after reading your description!

 

[Adamcski]

Works for me

I wouldn't have guessed iron without you mentioning it.

[AlanDorset]

What a fabulous thing !

 

[-Oy-]

It's a thing for sure and I like the face with the pointy nose on the left

What a fabulous thing !

Thanks Alan, glad we didn’t bin it

It's a thing for sure and I like the face with the pointy nose on the left

Thanks Dave, looks like an iron duck

 

[SimonH]

An excellent example of rust and decay Keith - especially with the spiders!

 

[NickD]

I really like the juxtaposition of the decay against the clean, clinical background.

 

[Allan.H]

I think that wins the most rusty and decayed thing,

Thanks Simon, the spiders were a bonus

Thanks Allan, yes it’s a bit delicate. Bits fall off whenever I pick it up.

 

[JackBell]

Send it to one of those YouTube restoration channels, good as new in 25 minutes.

Think it’s a bit too late for this iron

 

[LC2]

I feel that is part of a sunken / abandoned ship/boat.
It looks like it could have been a "Bitt".

Hi Tim, with the curved bottom pretty sure (according at google & google images anyway) its a flat or sad iron used in hat making for smoothing felt and also used for starched collars

Also from google, which I thought interesting:
The word "sad" comes from the Old English word for "solid," "heavy," or "firm". It did not originally mean "unhappy," though the heavy, demanding work of ironing eventually led to the phrase "sad job"

I have a small collection of different sized hot-irons that I rescued from the family farm outhouse before it was torn down years ago, which my mum then rubbed down and re-blacked. Just used as fireplace ornaments now, so definitely not decayed or rusty - but might come in handy for shoehorning into a different theme sometime...

 

[Barney]

Thats's a lovely old iron decayed and rusty.

 

[Darkslinger]

LOL, made me laugh Keith...

Great idea using the plain white background. It really makes the image pop.

Believe people used to have a few irons and swap them over when they cooled down, cold ones back on the fire

Thanks Wayne, not sure about the lovely

Thanks Bill, had to use something to stop the bits falling on the table

 

[lindsay]

I just corrected the typo on my post - hot-irons. They collection has different sized and shaped irons, ie different one for collars and cuffs, wider/narrower ones, etc.

 

[Kell]

Nicely crusty.
