Gritty Decay

I figured I was overdue for a gritty, mono rendered, decay themed, still life. So where is the logical place to call in? The old Zig Zag Railway site at Clarence, of course. I am not entirely certain what this is but it seems to be an old style hydraulic brake mechanism for an equally ancient gondola freight car. Either way I felt it deserved an airing.

Don't forget everyone. The "GREAT FILTERAMA CHALLENGE #6" will be hosted by antipodia tomorrow.
