Old, Rusty and Redundant.

Walking along Salford Quays, Manchester, England. Saw these old mooring hooks and couldn't resist the shot. PAUL

Old, Rusty and Redundant. I've been feeling a lot like that lately! But, like fine wine and patina, some things just get better with some age. I like this shot, especially the arcs the hooks have worn on the dock

Nice shot Paul...I like this a lot.

Well done Paul, like the detail!

Love Mike's comment above! But a very interesting shot Paul - looks like you had fun in Salford. It's amazing what lies about waiting to be photographed - 99% of folk would walk past this and not even notice it. Lovely capture, great rusty textures.

Thank you so much Nicky. A good day, and got a new wide angle lens too. PAUL

I agree with you in last two sentence.

Paul, nice shot.

Nice shot Paul...
the hooks look like they've seen many things...
Good eye... I might have walked right by this

Brother Paul, I really am intrigued with the last few posts you've made. Your dad's old tools and the Old Rusty and Redundant mooring hooks. I can relate to Mike's comment myself... Thanks for bringing out the beauty in something as overlooked and common as mooring hooks. Great shot bro!
