Photographer Colin Winterbottom is among those who find fascination in the rust. Steamtown NHS is pleased to host his photo exhibit, titled “Elegant Corrosion”, at its Changing Exhibits Gallery from July 1- October 31; the exhibit is included in the Park’s daily Entrance Fee. Using macro-photography camera lenses, Mr. Winterbottom has enlarged the smallest details in the decay to the point of abstraction. Isolating the textures, patterns, shapes, lines and colors from the wider context of the rail yard, the photographs take on a very different quality. Admission to the park’s museums, theater, and walking tours is $7 daily for all ages 16 and older; children ages 15 and younger are free with accompanying adults. Steamtown NHS is open daily from 9am-5pm. More
