Paint Remover - a photo on Flickriver

Paint Remover

            Brian the snail really loves a bit of DIY - but no nasty solvents for him! Although it is a struggle and takes much longer, he prefers to peel off the old paint by hard work!

For Macro Mondays theme 'Peel'. The snail's shell is about 1.2 cm long, so the image spans around 6.9 cm.

Several very large old metal storage containers have been placed at the end of the road to the new pier in my village. They have been painted numerous times over the years, in all sorts of colours, as is evident from the peeling of the many layers of paint. I had to take Brian on a 'field trip' to photograph him peeling back paint layers - I think he quite enjoyed the outing.

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
