Hunting for treasures

at Cherry City Metal with our friend/artist Dave Andersen. It was his first "much anticipated" visit to see tons and tons of discarded metal.

   

Even the parking sign fits the place. Dirty, rusty and fun.

   

I was looking for pieces to finish a large wall piece but was totally distracted by all the possible photos images. I LOVE this large piece and couldn't stop thinking of how great it would be in a sculpture.  The big problem...anyone have a fork lift?  I think it's at least 12' across.

   

 This was another object that caught my eye.  A giant circular bed or backyard hangout with a GIANT cushion?  Dave suggested it be flipped over and used for a roof.

   

 I wasn't quite sure what this was but I loved the shape and the ridges.

   

 Need a motor? or two or three?  This was just plain silly.

   

 This was when I stopped looking for objects to buy and was mesmerized by shapes and photographing the various lines.

   

 

Theres something about the slight change of color that intrigued me.  

 

   

 

I was having a great time until this guy told me I wasn't to take pictures (of course he had no explanation as to why I shouldn't)...so I decided to take one of him.

   

I continued taking photos when he wasn't looking.  Now that's the convenience of an iphone.
