A close-up of a bench in Lille - the texture and colour combinations reminded me of Kobe beef.

This is part of a weathered door in Lille. I liked the combination of the number with the mailbox - and some junk mail sticking out.

Rusty Diagonals

The first of a series of photographs shot in Belgium and France mid June - our first trip since the Corona outbreak, and I finally was inspired to shoot a few abstracts again. This is a classic example, diagonals and rust patterns. Spotted this opportunity in Lille.
