Delicious rubber... within the uniformity, lie exquisite patterns, mish-mash and beauty.
I love it! For my Ends set.
Shot in RAW at Lincoln's Tyres. The most trustworthy place, for that kind of thing, I know.
NB this is NOT black and white...

Poor lass, you must be tyred out. Great Ends shot (sort of), could be B&W almost.

cool shot from the thumbnail it seems like some fabric texture.
sosij (73 months ago | reply)
Maybe a round doesn't technically have an end...
..the last part or extremity, lengthwise, of anything that is longer than it is wide or broad
but...this from dictionary.reference.com/does it for me...
The outside or extreme edge or physical limit; a boundary

SOSIJ, this is soooo cool. What an excellent photograph this makes.

If you have ever seen my collection of FAVES, you will see how this one doesn't fit in, but I love it.
What a treat for my eyes.
