@Stunner: Thanks so much Stunner!! I just have such a fascination for the old. Rust, peeling paint, etc.. I guess it is because of the textures. Always love to see you've been on my site Stunner... sorry I haven't been visiting as much... just too damn busy. Will try to catch up tonight!!! ;-)

Powerful shot, Amy. Speaks of age and with a certain wistfulness of something forgotten and locked away.
