Embellished or embossed
sparkling and shining
now smooth and round
tarnished with rust
crustaceans crawling
on top barnacles living

The gentleman who took the photo combined his talents for photography with looking at ship wrecks beneath the ocean. This particular wreck was a German ship sunk in World War II and was enroute to Germany with a myriad of things for the soldiers including many of these motorcycles. Another photo he took was of a Volkswagon, that at one time (I’m sure) was new but still sits at the bottom of the ocean along with everything else that was on board. I wasn’t looking for this kind of photo, as I had already written and titled my post, but when I found it could not resist and it seemed to fit so well.
