I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

A fantastic image; I love old decaying stuff, it's fascinating to see.

The good thing about this community is your friends understand...just start afresh and know we're glad you're back:) The trellis on the other hand...probably does have a problem.

I hope you have a good day, I agree with Bill. Lick of paint & the trellis will be fine, good pic.

Don't even think about the ebots! I can't begin to imagine how you can possibly compare yourself to a bit of rusty metal...

Nooit verwerp, dierbaar! Jy weet ek sal altyd van jou hou. :D :X:X :P I also love the rusty metal against the textured concrete, and the beautiful plants that only grow indoors here!

Sorry to read about your down time, Carin! I was wondering what happened to you and your ever reliable comments (especially on my gallery) and postings. Being without the Internet is akin to being in purgatory. Cool capture of the heavily oxidized and down-and-out bit of trellis, along with the somber background.

Yes it is true, hard drugs have been replaced by 1's and 0's. Being without, even for a few hours, brings on painful withdrawal. Stay strong Carin these things always pass. And with a little sandpaper and paint that trellis could be good as new.

Did you bring this home to YOUR garden?? It's beautiful and just the kind of thing I'm always looking for. Glad you are reconnected; I get really cranky when that happens to me!!

Just very glad YOU back :) Awesome shot like always and it does look kinda spooky :)

The trellis may be old and worn but it is still filled with character and charm. Nothing ever ceases to be useless it merely changes form and becomes creative in another venue like your shot. Excellent capture!

Good stuff, nice postwork and compo.
emmecielle

I like the way the title gives it a new meaning. Well done.

Great capture Carin! Hope things are going better and that you had a good holiday yesterday. Have been a bit busy myself. Cheers, Clive

This is an interesting and moody capture. When I'm without internet, I notice my photo-backlog grows! I love the colors in this, the shape of the abandoned trellis and the overall mood. The composition is spot on as well. I like this a lot!

Ah technology, it's wonderful when it works but unlike the trellis the internet is no where near as nice when things get rusty and broken. It's kind of scary thinking how dependent on technology our race is becoming. i wonder what would happen to most of us if it all just stopped one day.

Nice work with the lines and curves ! Merry christmas to you !
