Bet you didn’t think I could stretch this out with another post on the Museum of Making. Well, you’re wrong. I could go on posting photos from this place for weeks. Wait, I already have. Okay, this is the last one for a while. As you leave the museum, there is a large piece of equipment sitting outside the door. Actually there are several pieces. Again I have no idea what these things are, but WOW are they beautiful.
Call me crazy, but I think some of these weathered paint and rust photos would look fantastic framed just as they are. Consider them as inspiration for art and your imagination can go wild. When I mentioned to the museum owner that I loved the rusty equipment outside the museum proper, he told me I could see a lot more of it at the dump. I want to go there! And no, I am not kidding. Want to come along?

Some of those photos look as if they are zillion dollar abstract paintings. Interesting shapes and colours.

Beautiful pics. I have a fascination for rusty machinery myself. When you were in Seattle, did you have a chance to go visiting Gas Works Park?

No, I saw it from a distance but didn’t know at the time what it was. I will make time to visit next chance I get. Creative Live did part of a photo shoot there so I saw some of the beauty. Thanks for bringing it up and taking time to comment!

Gas Works Park is one of my favorite spots in Seattle. I shot so many pics there and every time I have friends or relatives visiting, I take them to that Park. There’s at least one scifi book that has an important scen set at Gas Works, but I can’t remember its title.
