Cast iron pans with flat bottoms came into use when cooking stoves appeared in the mid 1800's. Before that, kettles and pots were the main utensils in open fireplaces, ovens and pits.
Iron rusts from disuse; water loses its purity from stagnation... “Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity.” - by Leonardo da Vinci
What a contrast we have here, which the daisy as pure life of glowing out in the radiant beauty in the sunshine of delicacy and on the other hand the Iron, just glimmers out the charm of decay of rustic age, that is peeling away and shows us the textures of the sweet life to us!
Many times I have walked by, this spot on the Castle Fields Boat Docks of the Black Country Museum. And this time I spotted these side-by-side together that was bedded in concrete, of an Iron bar standing so proudly with this charming daisy and overlooking the Narrowboats, that lies in the graveyard of the canal boats around here.
The beauty we have photography that can be created by the simplest things, that lies around us and yet we tend to overlook what possibility that arise!
A fence from my childhood evokes many precious memories. My grandfather was installed it back in 1939, but it is still in excellent condition.
The Iron Road was installed along a stretch of disused railway embankment deep in the Forest of Dean.
Twenty evenly spaced railway sleepers placed on the gentle curve of a disused railway line bring the spirit of the Forest’s industrial past to life.
Carved out of the wood are poetic images of natural or industrial life-a feather, a leaf, a wheel, a factory or a cloud.
The jar with water pouring out refers to the stream running under the embankment. The wood is a Eucalyptus called Jarrah, and the sleepers were obtained from the London underground.

The Iron Bridge is a cast iron arch bridge that crosses the River Severn in Shropshire, England. Opened in 1781, it was the first major bridge in the world to be made of cast iron. Its success inspired the widespread use of cast iron as a structural material, and today the bridge is celebrated as a symbol of the Industrial Revolution.
