Abstracted Art - one of my favourites in the genre. This is a detail of a huge metal sculpture that was on display in the Sneek Museum.

Shard

 

 

I shot plenty of rusty abstracts over the years, but this might be my favourite of them all. I love the 3D structure.

Shapes

 

 

A zoomed in abstract - converting text to shapes. I like the structures.

Nothing to see here, just a corner of an old wall... and yet....
