'Revealed Age' is another image from my excursion to Port Mulgrave last December. I was drawn to the deep golden rust of the corrugated iron which contrasts so well with the equally worn outer layer of years of paint. 

Revealed Age, Port MulgraveOn an deep, emotional level it metaphorically provoked the thought of the peeling of old skin to expose the natural beauty of age on the inside.

On a shallower level, it reminds me of the cover of Jean Michelle Jarre's Oxygene album, which I still find stunning after all these years.

Having spent the good part of a full day at Port Mulgrave I came away very happy that I'd done it justice - at least in my own way. I look forward to visiting it again soon for a different take.

As usual this image and more can be seen in the Gallery area of this website.

    Hi Nadine,
    Firstly, many apologies that I didn't reply to your kind words regarding my images in February. I had only installed this blog system just before you commented and at the time it had a bug in the system and I couldn't reply until now without jumping through hoops!
    However, better late than never and it's working OK now so please accept my apologies and hope you are finding my blogs of some use.

    Kind regards and thanks again, ;)
    Mark
