Description
These old tools haven't done a lick of work in many years.
Today they are spread out randomly on an ancient workbench in an old pump house (build more than 100 years ago) that ceased all operations in 1983.

I bet they feel wasted and forgotten. :-P

If only they could talk!!!

Great find, but I would have enjoyed them more straight out of the camera!

A great subject for all sorts of experimental postwork. Most enjoyable.

interesting scene! I find it a shame when tools are cast aside

I like the postwork & composition, Bill, but I kind of agree with blinkings on this one...

This is my weakest link. I do not do still life. This is composed very well Bill, and I like the post work.

This is a really beautiful - and at the same time, sadly moving photo, Bill! I love old tools like these, and in a way, I feel for them. As if they had feelings... Sheesh, if I keep looking at these, I'm gonna change my mind about retiring... (just kidding... I can't wait!)

One could say the same for the workmen who used them. A metaphor for our times. I still have my late father's tools. Not nearly as good with them as he was.

I have been crazy about tools every since I had to work on my cars(model years from the 40's,50's, and 60's) in the 60's and 70's. after that I had no training for smog equipment. I sold 3 pickup loads of tools that I had no need anymore.
I like your lighting here and use of monochrome

a capture of lostness and sad expression 🙄

It's a shame when we no longer use stuff, and it all stops abruptly, they are left to rust and rot, if they could talk, imagine the damned interesting stories they'd have to tell eh mate? Solid work Bill!!
