Nails

A return to another of the sheets of Ilford HP5+ 400 that I recently developed.  This one was rated at 320 iso and given normal development in 510 Pyro 1:100 for 7:45 minutes at 24C.
I shot this one on one of my many visits to the historic mine site in Nordegg.  I have permission from the staff every time that I visit the site as this is a restricted access area.  Access is by guided tour only and I always undertake my visits on that basis.
I'm not sure what all these nails on the wall are for.  There is a number written on the wallpaper above most of them.  These are in the company store.  They are not for miners tags, as those would have been kept in the lamphouse.  I can only speculate that these were for parts of some kind, though I have no idea what.
I shot this on March 31st of this year at about 3:00 in the afternoon.  I used my Ebony view camera and a slightly long Fujinon 180mm lens.  The exposure was for 1/2 second at F20.0.
