Iron Knot

I found this rusted cable knot around the river. They might have used it to construct the river-bed. It is one of those knots that you and me can't open. Hope that knots of our lives are not as impossible as this one.

Wow, that's so rusted it almost looks like wood. In fact, I thought it was at first. Great shot!

WOW, Amazing, Awesome texture in this one. Like e., I honestly thought it was wood when I first saw it!! And wonderful juxtaposition with the beautiful heart-shaped green leaf next to it. The light and shadow, shapes, textures and tones here are truly matchless, dear friend. Love this image. I share your hope that the knots in our lives will not be as impossible as this one. Much blessings always to you and yours, dear Amir.
