Found a piece of driftwood on the beach with a rusted bolt. I think its past having a spanner on it to undo it.
Part of Shivering Sands fort, from PS Waverley. Knock John fort is visible in the far distance on the left.
Rolleiflex 2.8F Planar

This photograph celebrates the quiet beauty of imperfection. The metal rat sculpture stands as an almost surreal subject, caught mid-pose, its sharp contours juxtaposed against the soft, grainy texture of the aged concrete wall. The Rolleiflex 2.8F, with its legendary Planar lens, brings a delicate yet precise focus, allowing every subtle scratch, crease, and shadow to come alive. The shallow depth of field gives the scene an ethereal quality, isolating the subject and inviting the viewer to lean in, to study its details.
The composition is deliberate and minimal, yet it holds a certain tension. The curve of the tail stretching across the wooden floor acts like a visual anchor, pulling the gaze back toward the rat’s expressionless stance. The negative space above and around the sculpture gives the photo breathing room while enhancing the subject’s quirky, frozen stillness.
Light plays a key role here—soft, diffused, and forgiving, creating gentle gradients on the wall that amplify its texture without competing for attention. The black-and-white treatment reinforces the timelessness of the scene, highlighting shapes, tones, and lines over color. There's a quiet, almost playful energy at work here, as though the rat exists within a forgotten narrative, waiting to be rediscovered.
