I was walking from Wollstonecraft to Waverton via Berry Island Reserve and Balls Head Reserve a few weeks ago with my partner when we came across this engine.

Part of the tree was growing around it, almost as though it was working to include the engine as part of its shape and structure.

I think that there’s both a contrast and cohesion with this tree and engine.

I think that there’s also a little bit of mystery for the engine being at this spot as it’s in a small gully.

There’s probably an explanation that’s documented somewhere, but it’s not something I necessarily want to look into as I think I’d rather preserve the mystery in my mind.

This is my submission for Leanne Cole‘s Monochrome Madness this week.

I strongly recommend checking out Monochrome Madness and, if you partake in photography or have an interest in taking it up, then I also recommend submitting something. It’s a small,yet strong community-driven event that I honestly believe is worth the time.

I hope you enjoy.
