Winter has returned for a last hurrah with below-freezing temps and biting winds. But the Spring Equinox, for the Northern Hemisphere, is just a few weeks away. And then this beautiful old, rusty fence won't have to stand alone. Happy Fence Friday, my friends! :)
Created for Macro Mondays of 11 September, theme 'Rust'.
Finally found some time for a MM theme. While walking with my dog, I saw a rusty thing, a bike gear (I think).
Het hoogovencomplex werd in 1902 door de "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort" gebouwd, en werd later overgenomen door de Thyssen-groep. Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog raakte het zwaar beschadigd, maar het werd in de jaren 50 weer opgebouwd. In 1985 waren de hoogovens van het complex te klein geworden om nog rendabel te zijn, en werd het complex gesloten. Tussen 1991 en 2002 werd het terrein als openbaar park ingericht.
The blast furnace complex was built in 1902 by the "Rheinische Stahlwerke zu Meiderich bei Ruhrort" and was later taken over by the Thyssen group. During the Second World War it was badly damaged, but it was rebuilt in the 1950s. In 1985 the blast furnaces of the complex had become too small to be profitable, and the complex was closed. Between 1991 and 2002 the site was designed as a public park.

Just busy as always, I have a whole lot of unprocessed photos. Hope I can get to them soon and upload to Flickr.

Thank you all very much for your visits, favs and comments.
Not my bike - Looking for rust, I went to the train station where I could count on finding derelict bicycles.

HEADING DOWN HWY 319 NEAR Medart, Florida, there is a collection of old Ford trucks.
Rusty and overgrown with vines and grass, they are lined up neatly on the right side of the road. Anyone who knows their Fords will notice that they’re even lined up in chronological order, dating from the early 1900’s to the mid-70’s. The trucks are an unusual worse-for-wear site on the scenic byway, but their apocalyptic charm attracts more photographers than any of the natural scenery. Where did they come from?
Placed here by Pat Harvey, they had all been used on the nearby Harvey family farm. They aren’t deserted—Pat loves the old buckets of rust, and has memories to share about each and every one. Originally owned by Pat’s dad and used for parts, the trucks and the land they’re on now belong to Pat, who lined them up by year just to see what they looked like in the correct order.
Torn between junk and art, the trucks are in questionable standing. While Pat enjoys sharing his beloved vehicles, vandals do occasionally have their way with them, and the city has an ordinance regarding too many junked cars in one place—even photogenic, neatly ordered ones. So far these issues haven’t been pressing enough for Pat Harvey to take any sort of action to remove them. The community and photographers enjoy their rugged charm and appreciate the automotive display that’s not quite a collection, and not quite a wreck.
