Involuntary painting ✨ 📷 #noticing

An abstract photo of a detail of an old tin door with multiple layers of paint that are cracked, peeling & starting to bubble and rust.
Most of the colours are muted but a section in the centre is a pale lemon, with green & mauve thicker sections above.
To me they give the impression of a stormy seascape with the headland and a wide stretch of deserted beach.
