I love abstract/macro photographs like this – all texture! It’s actually a closeup of the old aluminum chimney attached to our wood burning stove, with rust and mineral deposits (from evaporating water on top of the stove – you can imagine how hard the water is out here) gathering in the seam between pipe sections. I think the patterns of rust and dried minerals are just pretty, although I know not everyone shares my particular view on things like this.
Just click the image if you’re interested in seeing a larger version or getting framed or unframed print. You can put it on the wall, tell people it’s like an ink blot test, and ask them what they see in it!
