Visiting Louisiana, I was surprised at the number of respectable houses in upscale neighborhoods with corrugated steel roofs. Lasts longer in a wet, semi-tropical climate, my Sson explained; "eminently practical." Not so, here in the egalitarian west, where corrugated says
shed, unless it's on a river bottom tar paper shack.
Certainly the case here in Prescott, where there's a fair amount of corrugated iron to be seen if (and only if) you occasionally prowl the alleys as I do. Some in good shape, some that has seen much better days.
Corrugated iron was good enough for older garages or workshops, though the desert dew really brings out the inherent rust.
Of course, these old-fashioned iron structures are a photographer's delight. Not just the rust, but also a good dose of paint, peeling artistically.
Not to overlook the pattern possibilities of all those parallel dark and light lines. One of these days, I'll show you some of the Louisiana corrugated.
