While exploring the ghost town of Nevada City in Montana I came upon several barrels full of old railroad spikes. There is something about rust that just calls to me, what can I say?
I hope everyone had a safe and Happy New Year!

Macro Monday is easy to play, snap a macro (or any close-up) photo, post it on your blog and come back here and sign MckLinky. :) MM started on Sept 29, 2008 - Thanx to all of you for helping make it such a fun start to the week!
Definitely a unique subject. Nice set of images with the light and shadows.

ReplyDeleteThis is a cool macro. We love the railroad, and have to wonder what trains ever ran over those tracks.
ReplyDeleteMr. Linky seems to be missing...
I love rust! The rich colors and textures draw me in especially when shot in macro.
ReplyDeleteLove the rusty spikes, somewhere around here I have two or three that I have picked up over the years. The linky seems to be absent, I'll check back later. In the meantime here's my link: http://squirrelqueen2.blogspot.com/2011/01/1111-posted-at-1111-pm.html
