27 August 2008 Bolt of the day
OK, we’ve had enough pictures of cute kids around here for a while. I know you all really come here for closeups of rusty bolts.
Not exactly beautiful, but it had a high haeccity quotient that I enjoy. And, since I endured the looks of all the Japanese people waiting for the same train wondering what the hell the big gaijin was taking a picture of, I feel justified in posting it here.

It’s probably stupid, but when I see something old like that (or an abandoned farmhouse, old temple, etc.), I like to try to imagine the person who bolted it together, built it, etc. How proud they must have felt when it was shiny and new. How it was tended to over time, but over time, less so. Where are they now?
