An Emergent Property...
This is just one (incredible) example of what can happen randomly in a multi-acre junk yard. There are many others to be found but this is one my friend Catherine found for me a few months ago. I did a post in 2012 about Smith & Edwards and that is where this found collection of detritus came from.
Catherine pulled on the larger metal piece and all of these rusty nails, washers, bolts, wire nuts, etc. came with it. She somehow managed to get to back to me in one piece and I was so taken by its beauty and the fact that it probably shouldn't even exist that I built a custom enclosure for it.
Anyway, this is a close-up of the found piece itself, carefully ensconced in its new steel and glass carapace. Amazing! Thanks, RG...
And here it is in its custom container with built-in light:
