I do visit and I do comment and I was here. I did look at your picture(s) and I did read what you wrote about them. I could say how great you are and how beautiful your work is but alas I would soon run out of things to say on the next blog I visited, so I just left this to prove I stopped and said a few words on Sunday. I never saw one of these before.

My Rheumatoid Arthritis hurts so I am using the same message for all.

Fabulous for the challenge! I would say this one was a hard one but you managed it perfectly.

That first shot is AWESOME!!

As always, awesome photos.

Reminds me of a photographer who used to find patterns and art in the rusty side of old ships.

You always surprise me. I must admit I was expecting parallel skewers on the BBQ. I love industrial images.
Great interpretation.

Rob, your interpretations are always so creative and show a real stretch of the imagination and the eye. I love the colors and textures in both of these pictures, as well as the geometrical symmetry of all the shapes and planes and so on. Really well done!
