sometimes you can find beauty in the art of time. in this case, the front licence plate holder mount plate thing that  has seen a quarter of a million miles has gathered some serious rust. the paint completely peeled off and surface rust has taken over. before i primed it to repaint it black, i stopped and took a moment to photograph the beauty time has blessed it with. paint had pealed off in major chunks, so i laid it on the curb. the patterns were quite something.
