A heavily rusted valve (?) on a disused jetty on the River Thames. There is a LOT of casually discarded stuff on the river, much of it in disused structures left to rot and collapse into the water. The Thames discharges into the sea so I daresay it's 'diluted' but just as there's a lot of sea, there's a lot of rust ! Probably not good for us (living things generally) at all.
Makes a nice picture, though.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
The corner of a grain barge unloading at one of the Guntersville feed mills, on the Tennessee River.
I don't think this is exactly what Neil Young had in mind, but it seemed appropriate for a caption.
A close up look at the textures around a gate hinge exposed to the Lancashire countryside. Sun-bleached wood, mold and the rusted orange-brown patina of metalwork that has survived out in the elements for decades without any protective paintwork.
If you were to arrive at Truro by water - this is the view that would greet you . Taken from one of The Enterprise Boats boat tours from Trelissick Gardens you can see this pile opposite the Sunny Corner area .
I came across this section of old rusted pipe on a walk on the Dick & Willie Trail yesterday. Time and exposure to the elements have given it beautiful colors and textures.....
Carrie Furnace - abandoned ironworks
National Historic Landmark
Carrie Furnace is a former blast furnace located along the Monongahela River in the industrial town of Rankin near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It had formed a part of the Homestead Steel Works. The Carrie Furnaces were built in the 1880s and they operated until 1982.
During its peak, the site produced 1000 to 1250 tons of iron per day. All that is left of the site are furnaces #6 and #7, which operated from 1907 - 1978.
In 1898 Carrie Furnamce was purchased by Andrew Carnegie and incorporated into U.S. Steel in 1901. In 2005 it was purchased by Allegheny County. In 2006 the two remaining furnaces were designated as a National Historic Landmark.
This looks like it could represent a tough spot in someone's life where a negative situation had taken a grip and won't let go.
Or, for us more concrete thinkers...it's a cool pic of a rusted coil :)
I have collected all sorts of eggs for a number of years- always fun to find something different, something "new!"
I almost missed Easter posting! Sorry! I think the eggs go on forever!! :)
I really like the fly agaric mushroom. But most of all, when it dries out and "rusts" in the forest, and its cap turns a coppery-orange color and deforms in a whimsical way. That’s when it’s at its most beautiful and blends perfectly with the autumn colors. I have a few photos from this year. I'll share them this week. Poland, Karkonosze Mountains
**OOC note**
Part of the experience of the following series will be listening along to linked music if you so desire. So you know how I feel as I'm hashing out the story ;)

Rule 14. Always carry a change of underwear*
The sickness is spreading, the infected lurk around aimlessly looking for fresh water and plants. Flit and Dylain can hear them coughing above ground, sometimes scratching at the door. They seam to be everywhere surrounding the bunker and blocking their escape.
The girls in no way want to come into contact with the pandemic as they've experience it before - and let me tell you, they call it rust mouf for a reason - Flit shudders at the memories.
Thankfully they are currently well stocked and safe down below eating twonkies and watching golden girls reruns on an old tele and vcr Flit has rigged up.

Shot this today, on Free Comic Book Day. It's the building across the street from my usual comic book shop.
Appropriately, the Stark Building (built twenty years before this one) is just a block or two away.

I made a great find of old cars yesterday. This 1957 Chev Bel Air is just one of many old classics tucked away on an acreage about half way between Lacombe, Alberta and Stettler, Alberta. This was one of my favorites to shoot because I found the autumn colors really complemented the blue car.
Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian friends...Have a safe and wonderful weekend, everyone!
