Cylindrical Decrepitude

Dead Tanks, Burlington, Vermont

Focal Length: 20mm | Aperture: f3.2 | Exposure: 1/800 | ISO: 100 | Post: CS4

A friend took me down to a little nitty gritty nook roughly between the end of Maple Street and the sewage treatment/rail yard a mere stone’s throw from the waterfront on Saturday. It was the official first day of Spring and sunny skies with temperatures upwards of sixty degrees were forecasted but nay, a cool wind and grey clouds smashed any grandeur of Spring. Nonetheless, I was at home amongst the industrial grime that surrounded me, luscious rust, vibrant graffiti and delicate flakes of paint peeling before my very eyes. Retrospectively, it was a fantastic first day of Spring spent with a friend and her dog in the dirty kind of environs I dig on with my camera in hand. Perfect.
