This is one of the bunkers at Fort Worden State Park. The steel doors are rusting and the paint is peeling (there’s uncertainty as to how long since they have been painted).
A great opportunity for abstract, still life photography.
The patterns on these doors is pretty amazing. I wonder if any of it is a result of covering graffiti, or if it is all just the graffiti of age.

I was walking the paths in Fort Worden State Park when I caught a flash of bright red off to the side. It was the sun catching the rust on this bunker door. From a straight on view, the red isn’t quite as brilliant as it was with the sun at a reflecting angle, but I love the patterns.

I returned to reshoot this building with a wide angle perspective control lens. That helped eliminate any keystone distortion. Now all I need is an answer to the question: where does that upper door go to?

Getting off the main street and walking the alleys and access streets is a great way to find new and visually exciting spots. This door looks like it has seen better days… and the building is just a little bit scary with the cracks and patches.
