This is a series from a long-abandoned Shell Oil facility. Crumbling, aging, weathering.... Nirvana for me.
Processing was simple: a wee-little, teeny-tiny bit of cropping, then a preset designed to mimic Kodak 400 film with a tiny bump in brightness, and a little noise reduction is all it took. I'll be going back to this spot occasionally to catch different seasons, lighting, and experiment with macro-photography.

I liked the background in this shot as well. The colorful mixers at the concrete plant on the left, the long-defunct water tower on the right.

The following shots are a bit random. The first is of a former drug house, which I captured as a burned out shell. I always wonder about the history of such places.... Who built it? Who were the first owners? How did it come to be in such a state? In the week since I took this shot, it has been bulldozed to the ground.
It used to be someone's dream.....

Finally, a simple branch with some snow. I just liked the depth of field and the lines; however, I think my favorite thing about the shot is the coloring. This is the way the shot looks on its own--no post-processing for the color; no de-saturation, except that which came from the light and pine needles.
