A time before high tech took over. Rust and decay bring it on. The smell of saw dust - heaven! These photos are wonderful.

Those remind me of all the old tools my Dad had in our basement when I was a kid! He used most of them, too! I have no idea what my brother has done with them, I only know he was NOT willing to let any of us GIRLS get our hands on them! Even though HE never uses them, or ever did! Of course, he was taking all Mom's old canning jars to work and GIVING THEM AWAY, rather than see any of the rest of us have them. I only ended up with two small ones because my SIL called and told me he was doing this. At the time, a regular sized old canning jar was worth about $6 or $8 at the antique shops, and Mom had a lot of odd sized, and really big ones. So, who knows how much money he gave away? Us girls were the sentimental ones who wanted them because they were Mom's, he only worried that we wanted anything for the value of it, but HE was the one giving away/getting rid of everything! My brother always wanted to be an only child, I guess this was his revenge on us for being born! Sigh… Those remind me of all the old tools my Dad had in our basement when I was a kid!

I like to take pictures of old abandoned houses in the area. Like these tools, they sort of tell a story. you’re right that lighting is amazing. your pictures came out great. there’s something really compelling about the old and rusty, at one time common objects.
