This is the bolt that fastened the tower onto its base until the day long after the Fall when it rusted away.

The whole Moorabbin Football Ground light tower seen elsewhere in the Aussiemandias photoset is just as corroded, including the base. Not too much of a worry, there's stilI heaps of 'guts' left in the metal and it doesn't look like there's really a problem yet with the structural integrity of the tower. I liked the contrasting degrees and strata of corrosion, and the shadows added a bit of drama, as well as doubling the textural range and contrasts.
