I noticed these objects of art while my car was undergoing an emissions check not so long ago. The top image is a fence made of cast-off tools. The fence is outside the office to the mechanic's office. The sport's car in the bottom shot was getting a little work done while its antique relation stayed out of the sun and out of the spotlight. I expected ol' Gomer Pyle to come round the corner and offer to clean my windshield.

ReplyDeletethe first picture is just too fantastic!
I love that first shot, Sandy! It is fantastic! Never seen anything like it! Terrific post for the day!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

The old car looks like a checker
ReplyDeleteThat fence is a work of art. Somebody is very creative. Lovely shots.. and a great eye for finding and showing them.
ReplyDeleteThe word verification is "bough" and I think you should take one. ;)
Both photos are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI really like the first, truly original!
Thanks!
great pics of great stuff :)
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not very much mistaken, the "aging relation" is a 1953 Ford Pickup with the flathead V8. And a very well maintained/restored specimen at that. Can't see enough of the car to tell what it is. Looks like it might be a sprint racer though.
ReplyDeleteNice work in any case. Love the "sculpture"... my kind of art!
What a great fence! Fantastic for a mechanic's place: I like their style.
ReplyDeleteBut I just want that lovely old pickup truck. Beautiful!
Very creative fence! Perfect for their shop!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how I got so far behind but I also left comments on two more below this one.
I love the fence and the juxtaposition of the sportscar and antique car is perfect.
ReplyDeletethe fence is something else, it is very inventive, it actuall is eye catching!and the classic car is a beauty!

I really like both pictures, but the tools on the fence is superb. Great captures.
ReplyDeletejust watched an old black and white movie last night from the 1930s and appreciate how much cars have changed. Imagine driving with no air conditioning?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fence! Such a creative thing for them to do with their cast off tools!
ReplyDeleteJust the sort of thing that I LOVE, Sandy!
ReplyDeleteAloha, Friend!

ReplyDeleteYou have such a great eye for these normal, almost mundane, and hidden beauties. That is a real gift and a blessing
ReplyDeleteLove that fence! Gomer Pyle! Too cool! You prove that *beauty* is all around ... just look! :D :D
ReplyDeleteI loved the fence, it is really cool! Thanks for sharing and hosting.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I call a creative fence.
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautifully artistic fence. I think Gomer went out fishing with the guys.

10 will get you 20 that old pickup is worth a pretty penny right by its lonesome, Gomer or no!

Who says junk is useless? A wonderful world of reuse, recycle and repost (this post hehe)!
ReplyDeleteHere down under, we say, "someone's trash is another's treasure". Surely the fence owner here has an impressionable state of art.
Gollly Miss Sandy,these are some mighty interestin things you have discovered. I shur glad you showed em to us. Golly.
ReplyDeleteI would have to say that is a mechanically correct photo
ReplyDeleteif only people are as creative. we could be enjoying what seems to be trash into works of art.
ReplyDeletei love found art like this on public display....good find!!
ReplyDeleteSandy: What a fun show with the old truck and the tool art, very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love that fence!
ReplyDeleteI like the composition of that first shot and am thinking of being careful of tetanus, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI want a fence like that!
ReplyDeleteThat's quite a collection of box end, combination, open end, and adjustible wrenches and quite an assortment of other objects. I love it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic!
ReplyDeleteSandy, what a beautiful post: both unusual and interesting pictures.
ReplyDeleteI love the first one as well.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! I like the composition of the sports car and old truck. The recycling of the tools makes for an artistic fence. Just shows what a little imagination and skill with a welder can create. There is a sculpture in one of Frederick's parks that is made from old parts (probably farm machinery).
ReplyDeletea diiferent one !
ReplyDeleteYou certainly pick some great subjects. loved the first one.
ReplyDeleteI bet that mechanic has artistic ability! The tools make such an interesting photo!
ReplyDeleteThat's very neat!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot of an interesting piece of work and the contrast of cars makes a good shot too. You have a mechanic with a difference.
ReplyDeleteThat fence is art .. really .. I love it ..
ReplyDeleteWonderful fence and the old car too.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy
ReplyDeleteNice shot's... love the first one, that fence sure is an art :) Thanks for sharing, have a nice week ahead
What a great (and humorous) fence. To me that's art!
ReplyDeleteI would love a set of gates made out of old tools... I have seen something like it before many years ago... umm! I wonder if my friend will make me one.
ReplyDeleteHi Sandy... I have a post on my Picture and Word Blog you might like... if you get time check it out. Graffiti
ReplyDeleteFantastic fence! What amazing fodder for a photo ;)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to give you the post:

Just in case you want Sandy!
Love,

interesting and very sharp composition. i love both of them.
ReplyDeleteThose wrenches are hysterical.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sculpture - i wonder how many wrenches and how long it took to pull it together.
ReplyDeletecongratulations on the wedding (anniversary?)
I like the fence of tools. Cool shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being here.
