Rust on Black
Uploaded: July 19, 2010
A piece of rust I found along the road.Of course, I had to keep it stashed away-someone keeps throwing away all my treasures,lol.
Edited-Picasa.
PS- ( writing this PS the day following the entry) what I meant by "The Original" is that this is what the whole piece looked like before captureing close ups of it- "not" the original from the photo entered. No special effects here. Sorry about the confusion.
