Description
Another shot from Battery Kinzie at Fort Worden.
Of course I loved all the angles and textures together ... who could resist?
Battery Kinzie was built in 1910.

Cool angles and geometry in this shot of the handrail and steps. It appears the utilitarian framework could do with a sanding down, followed by a fresh coat of paint.

That is a great shot! love the shadows

Not me, that's for sure; a wonderful array of lines and textures! Great capture!

Very well seen.

The thing that struck me about this image was the history of common objects. Someone made those rails and laid that concrete. Countless hands caressed the iron railing and countless feet trod those steps. Apart from the geometry of these objects that you have captured so well are the ghosts of those who have passed by.

I'd probably walk right by it!! I'm so glad you didn't; this has that simple beauty you always find!!

Unbelievable! Tara you have the most amazing photographer's eyes. This is just wonderful. Angles, textures, colors, and all composed so well. Photographically excellent, and then when you look at it with wysiwig's comments in mind, it becomes even more meaningful.

There is a set of rails outside of where I work that I keep taking pictures of. I'm going to have to capture one good enough to post so I can get it out of my system. This is excellent! I love all the angles, different textures and depth! I'm curious what the bit of loopy wire at the bottom is. Great shot!

Very cool shot!!

This is just the sort of thing that I like to get my art class pupils to draw! Mind you the last group I challenged like that complained via their leader it was too stressful! Need I say I LOVE it?!

Angles textures indeed...and colours galore! A health and safety nightmare here in the UK.. They'd close the place down... Great shot.. Rob

Nothing like a colorful well weathered bunch of angular stuff....

Fabulous view!And the contrasts between geometry, colours and materials are stunning!

Yup...I can see where Rob is coming from about the UK Health and Safety view of a neat old, deserted fort like this...but, hey, there are signs...enter at own risk. If a bunch of bureaucrats close everything down that could hurt a person, they'll have to be closing the mountains, the beaches, the deserts...where does it end? Life is full of risks...sort of makes the adventure of living worthwhile IMHO. And now for your photo...you know how much I REALLY like the "artsiness" (is this a word?) of this shot:)

Watched the kids play and chase each other around there years ago. Now I look at the big gaps between restraining hand rails.. gulp! Funny how safety minded we are now as opposed to back then. Neat depth and perspective.

Most wonderful angles and lines Tara! I have shot a very similar image last week with the borrowed point and shoot!!!

This is looking down, but makes me feel as if I climbing up... Marvelous form and textures.
