A few of the rusted relics at Gammons Gulch
Gammons Gulch is a reconstructed old western town created by Jay Gammons. It is a mix of 1880’s to 1930’s early America. The town has been used in movies, commercials and music videos. The movie set has a large collection of antiques, old cars and movie memorabilia. You can get a guided tour of this little town. Jay will tell you the history of just about every item he has collected over the years while creating the town.
As Neil Young said: Rust never sleeps.
So take care of you. Otherwise you'll wake up some day, look into the mirror and see, what I have seen a few days ago: The future! ;-)
Late on Monday evening, as I washed some dishes in the sink under the west-facing kitchen windows, I noticed the waning sun reflecting off the window, bouncing in the opposite direction (refraction?) down to a dark place across from the house where these rusty artifacts, waiting for new homes around my garden spaces, rest against the base of a retaining wall.
This area receives little light, as we live on a steep hillside. The front part of our neighbor's house is only one story, but it still looms over us. The space between our houses feels a bit like a slot canyon. Several feet away, I've planted a Sweetbox (a Sarcococca that will produce luxuriant notes of vanilla in January and February) to take advantage of exceptionally deep, dry shade.
I was surprised that with such bright light, I still had to resort to a relatively high ISO. I suppose that in bouncing off the window, the light had been very diffused?
The silhouetted leaves are a Nandia that I don't particularly care for but I've never been able to get rid of it and so now I've simply left it alone.

Hooray for texture. Or as I could pretentiously say "the integrity of a material's passage through time."
