fence and boulder

Taken with an Xpan while exploring the old run down docks and steel making areas of Middlesbrough on the River Tees in NE England. Now identified as the most socially deprived area in the UK and least likely to be able to deal with the UK's recent austerity measures due to major structural problems with the local economy and serious reliance on public services.

Reasonably happy with the compositions but keen on comments about the printing and level of contrast - difficult, I am aware, given the poor quality of my scanner, which increases contrast and decreases resolution whenever I use it for images!
