Rust on the mounting bracket of an outdoor basketball hoop. Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of Rust. A high dynamic range image.
quietly rusting away, steel is but a temporary state, it comes from the earth and to the earth it will return
Rust
Unexplained,
the old shed stands
in the middle of nowhere,
surrounded by bog and marsh,
with swooping, twittering swallows,
and a snipe drumming in the distance.
The collapsing walls
present an array of earth tones,
a masterpiece of rust and corrosion.
Textured by decay,
the corrugations stripe their canvas
with colour and form,
composition perfected
by the exact positioning of nut and bolt,
and the irregular piercings
of ultimate decrepitude.
Within,
the wooden joists
are a man-trap for the unwary,
damply dissolving into green rot,
lit fleetingly by glimmerings of sky.
Take any piece, cut the metal free
from its surroundings,
a few inches square perhaps,
or a foot or two,
or three metres by four,
find fractal-fashioned patterns:
abstract art fit for a trendy gallery:
a far cry from snagged sheep’s wool,
the calling curlew
and the blowing rush.

It is what it is , rivers edge held back by some sheet piling with a nice patina . There are supposed to be quite a lot of kingfishers just up stream from here on the River Mole but just as well I suppose for them there is no access at all to where they nest . I have seen a couple when they have been out searching for food but no usable shots - the little compact was just not up to it .
