PATTERNS


The Empire Mine near Grass Valley California had many pieces of vintage equipment and buildings to house them. I was fascinated by the patterns on this one.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Very interesting! Like bricks were on the roof. But what about the sides? Hmmm!

Good capture with this shot. I like the look of the building. Seems planned, yet aged. Cool shot.

I love pattern and old industrial sites. Is that rust or someone decided to do an interesting paint job?

Ben Nakagawa said...

Yes, it is very interesting. I wonder, what makes that pattern of rust,

Now, if I am honest, I don`t know, what to say about those walls with patterns :)
But it is worth photographing, I am sure.
Have a happy weekend, Sue!

That almost looks like print for a quilt.

Nice....

Yes, unusual Sue. Wonder if the marks are corrosion of some sort? Interesting shot. - Dave

Well, I've heard a lot of people talk about the Empire Mine, but I still have not been there...

And that is really an unusual photo...
The rust almost looks like faded big block letters...

It is funny how the building rusted in such a way.
Makes for a very intesting pattern.
Great find!

its really interesting. Hard to decide if its a design or its like this because its abandoned.
