Slowly Dissolving

Posted by Steve Rice (Olympia, United States) on 29 May 2009 in Transportation.

As one might expect, the Peter Iredale is slowly rusting away. But after 103 years, there is still quite a chunk of the vessel left.

Part of the Oregon Coast series.

Both this one and the previous are great images, I love the heavy blackness of the subject against the lighter foreground and background, the reflection is also good

Another superb one Steve! I prefer this to yesterday's actually. There's a simplicity and loneliness to the compo that suits the subject and b&w perfectly. Keep 'em coming!
