976. Hmmm. Yes. An interesting year! The King of England was Edward the Martyr (not a long reign but a fairly successful one for the House of Wessex overall).

And Shang Sixun improved his astronomical clock, so it was a pretty good year all round, Andy.

HWW!

Thanks, Annemarie, and the same to you.

Incredible capture! HWW! Stay well!

Thanks, Andy, and the same to you.

I love the textures in this image. I love too the limited colours. All the best, Joe

Thanks, Joe. This photo is quite old but I still remeber how striking this appeared in the lane I was going through.

Marvellous details and texture in this image, John.

Thanks, George.

I'd say peeling paint, but the paint here has long been peeled. I see why you wanted to photograph it - I have some similar older photos of rust and peeling paint on boxcars. One can look for patterns all one has patience for, but there aren't any.

Good point, Bob. Nor is it random.

I love this beautifully detailed shot John.............the peeling paint and sun-bleached wood look amazing!

Thank you very much, Keith.

Opknappen John

I hope it's been refurbished by bow, Fred. This was taken in 2009.

It deserves at least 976 views !
