Seen in your photostream
Thanks Horst :)
It's great David! I love the rusty detail! My husband says it looks like a spike.
Thanks for sharing in our Non-nature macros theme at

It does indeed Jill, except it was attached to a much larger impliment (this being just a bolt), that had a handle on it that you see on railway lines - aha! Points! It's the apparatus to change the points! (I knew it would come back to me eventually)
LOL David, I'm glad you remembered what it was -even I know what points are :-)
Great composition and light David. Nice one!
Oh I knew what points were, just couldn't remember the name ;-)
Thanks Chris. I took this to see what the tele-macro was like on the 70-200 f/4 L I was borrowing.
Great looking spike with a nice DOF, too!

I should have taken a shot of the whole points apparatus but didn't think of that at the time.
I love this shot!! Very interesting.
