Here is the rest of my around-the-house collection of images from our recent trip to the Mendocino Coast.
Rust in Peace, Part 2
More images of the rusted machinery at Angels Camp Museum in Calaveras County. Shot in late June 2021.
Rust In Peace, Part 1

My entry for Cee’s Black & White Challenge this week. As long as it has two wheels or has two wheels with the training wheels. You can photograph any kind of bike or bike accessory, such as helmets, gloves, etc. Let’s see how creative you can get.
