Rust never sleeps

"It's better to burn out than to fade away..."

Detail from the old lock gates at Birkwood Lock, The gates are out of use, never closed and their decrepitude vitiates the idea that we can last for ever.

Neil Young's statement [above] was much discussed at the time and hated by John Lennon who said it was surely better to fade away like an old soldier...

Anyways, I liked the textures in this macrocosm. Y'all can discuss the rock philosophy, if you want.
