Texture and color in man-made materials....

As much as I love taking macro pictures of nature, I also love to get up-close-and-personal with interesting textures and colors in man-made objects.

Something as boring as a rusty fence, old gate, or playground set can be transformed into something cool when you cut all the mundane and get super close.

Here's a day in Vail...close up....bridge to the gondola lift up the moutain, a Harley engine, and a criss-cross rope at the Pirate Ship park.
