 Close up detail of a rivet connecting sections of giant waterpipes that send water to Los Angeles.

Once rust takes hold, it starts a steady and unyielding march. This is the tip of the iceberg, pun intended!

Hey Will! Congrats on your first entry! Well done! I agree with Jutilda about the cone bra...which always reminds me of the singer Madonna some how! The DOF really works well here in the pattern of cones for a unique composition. Looking forward to seeing many more of your entries! Welcome to DPC!!!

Thanks for the kind comments!

I try to be clever and avoid shots that are too obvious or cliche so I'm glad this worked well for a number of people.

This was my first DPC entry and I had a nice time hiking out to get the shot, wearing out the Update button and following the discussions in the forums the following week ;^)

Very cool. Looks like a volcano gone bad on a snowy peak.
