Sleepers in Detail

Sleepers in Detail
A close up of the top of a pair of old and weathered railway sleepers, which are part of the sea defences at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire.

They also remind me of a pair of Alpacas standing nose-to-nose with each other..........but perhaps that's just me :-))

Please view large on black...........or not :-)

Fabulous sharp details Keith. I see your Alpacas and raise you a magnificent sanglier!!

Keith Burton club has replied to MaggsMep club
Thanks Maggie,...........glad you like the details. I had to ask Mr Google about the Sanglier, but now I can see where you're coming from. Their noses do look a bit piggy!

I still think they're Alpacas though :-)))

This reminds me of Indian relief work. Can't say exactly why, though. Maybe it's the columnar arrangement combined with elegance. Whatever it reminds me of it's a well-framed and well-captured shot. Great work, Keith.

Keith Burton club has replied to John FitzGerald club
Thanks John................It's a bit simpler for me. It was the rust and the symmetry that caught my eye and made me look closer. Glad you like it and thanks for your kind comments.

J'aime beaucoup. Pour ma part, j'ai vu une sorte de masque Africain trés ancien.

Thank you Jean Paul.............I'm pleased you like it so much.

Now that you mention it I can see why you t thought of an African mask. It's interesting that we all see the same things very differently.

Beautiful detail and yes they look like a pair of alpacas to me too Keith, complete with wonderful 'doe' eyes!!! The rust colours actually add to the effect.

I love alpacas. There was an alpaca farm close to where we stayed once near Kilmartin, They were so cute.

Have a lovely Easter weekend
