Observed in the mountains of Colorado. The American Coleman was apparently a line of trucks built from the 1950s into the 1970s. The company was based in Littleton, Colorado.

I realize this is quite a departure from what I normally do but I'm so inspired by the many superb abstract works I see here on Flickr. Color is, for me, a very difficult and tricky thing to get right. Therefore, I take it on as a personal challenge and from here on it's going to be all about abstracts, details, lines, curves, textures and color, color, COLOR!

You already know why

Why rust? Well, rust is cool. I mean, look at it this way. Metal tends to be pretty tough stuff. You can smash it, bend it, reshape it, fire it, freeze it, generally abuse it in a number of different ways. But if you really want to destroy it with minimal effort, just leave it alone for a while outdoors in a moist environment. In time, it will break down.

Rust never sleeps, this wire cage I thought made for a great repetition shot that if you look closely you can see the rust flake and come closer to claiming another inanimate victim.

This photo was taken in a old part of the Verkadefabriek, a cultural centre in Den Bosch. Where there are theatre, cinema and restaurants. In the past it was a cookiefactory! A beautiful place where the old and new come together.

This silo caught my attention as it looks like the booster tanks of the Space Shuttle. No extra saturation added, just added some tonal contrast from colour effex pro.

Years of water drainage have rusted away these ancient doors

A rust covered piece of farm machinery. Title is a bit of a play on words with our local accent, as coming from south of Birmingham (UK) this is close to the regional pronunciation of 'rusty'!

Was tempted by lots of shiny objects this week, but I seem to have taken a lot of ball bearings, cheese grater, guitar strings, cogs, letterpress type etc, so decided to go for something more textural for my second shot!

Going to be out for most of the day taking shots of old metal planes, will catch up later!
