“I love visiting old and worn out locations with my camera and shoot metal, dirt, rust and other interesting subjects.”

Today Im giving away 5 photographs that I shot 2 weeks ago at an abandoned military location here in Iceland. The images are all high resolution 300dpi and measuring over 3000×2000 pixels.

These images may be used for personal and commercial projects. I do however ask that you do not redistribute these images via your own websites. Please link to this post if you want to share them with your own audience.

“In the beginning, there was not light on the web. It was awfully crowded with dancing marquees, tedious frames, unbearable midis and annoying spinning @’s. It was the dark ages of the web. Then refreshing empty spaces, vibrant, high contrast colors, lovely gradients, big text, original gloss shine effect, diagonal lines and of course reflected logos came on our rescue. Everything was shiny and with that great brandnu smell. The Web 2.0 look was born.”

As a followup on yesterdays trend article I wanted to share this other article published by snap2objects.com
This article dissects the looks of the Web 2.0 trend and then posts examples on design that are braking out of the box and bringing something new to the table. Click here to read the article.

And through the years all of the lovely textures have followed us through upgrades and changes. Still, a rather large part of them has not been key-worded yet, and therefor, does not appear in site searches (working on fixing that issue).

Here is a list of 10 amazing grunge textures from our gallery that you might have missed.
