The industrial part of the Portsmouth waterfront is a very colourful place. There are lots of colourful industrial vehicles and giant piles of rusted metal waiting for recycling.
Some people may see the large piles of metal as trash, but I see them as potential. Recycling is beautiful. You have no idea what that pile of rust will turn into: A new car, a kid’s bicycle, the skeleton for a skyscraper. I will always take pictures of the piles of metal on the NH state pier whenever I get access to it. This time was because the Tall Ships were docked on the end of the pier.
Jes’ pictures turned out significantly less red than mine. Maybe she took pictures of a different pile of scrap metal. Daily Portsmouth has better detail pictures of the composition of the piles of rusted metal.
Remember, recycling can be beautiful 🙂

I think it is so cool that we went to the same place. While I was shooting I was thinking of you and was so curious to see what your photos would look like. I love seeing another person’s take on the same thing.

My pictures were less red because I first wanted to do them in b&w to show how large the piles were. It didn’t look as good as I originally thought it would. but I just kept the tint of the photo at a gray/blue.
