    Maybe better days for utility, but not for being a subject for a good photographer.

    Fascinating photo subject and hung in a perfect spot. It makes a great image, but I wouldn't want ot have to depend on it to save my life....

    But it still can be admired due to your photo! It compliments very well the type of wall behind.
