    What in the world is that? Whatever it is I am staring at it; but I think that is the point. I like it in B&W!:D

    This was a rail twisted around some pilings at a talc mine I was at yesterday. Reminded me of a snake uncoiling to engage some prey. So I gave it a proper scientific name, crotalus (snake) metallicus (metal). :D

    This is a really cool shot! I like the b/w treatment, as it really causes the viewer to focus on the shape. thumb.gif

    I also like how the cloud behind it suggests the head of the snake. Really creative and great catch!

    Thank you Awais, Jeff and Schmoo.

    This was pretty much the only angle I got of this. I shot a couple more closer and further back, but this was the one. A quick grab on the way back to the truck.
