Spiderlings - detail from the back of a weathered road sign
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of cracked paintwork on the back of a road sign in Thailand. The cracks show the dark rust underneath and the white paint has been stained orange along the edges of the cracks. Two small star-like crack patterns resemble spiderlings in a corner of a large web.
