An unusal find. I love the shadows and colors. Not really sure what it is. Maybe a type of wind chime? I love how you capture things and it creates a vision you have to think about. Nice work Paddy! #8704246

Patrick- You sure do come up with them. Not sure what the purpose of this was but someone made use of old cans and bottle tops. It may be ugly but the photo work you did to take a picture of it isn't. Love the rustic colors, excellent lighting and clarity, and that trademark texture. Gorgeous work of an ugly stick.
Have a great day my friend. Take care. #8704796
