Rust on the mounting bracket of an outdoor basketball hoop. Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of Rust. A high dynamic range image.
The original La Grande Hermine (or Big Weasel) was sailed up the St. Lawrence River by Jacque Cartier in 1535. A replica of the vessel was made as a tour boat in the 1960's in Quebec City. The replica was sold to a young entrepreneur with dreams of making it just the thing to bring hungry visitors to his harbour side restaurant. The tour boat was sailed up the St. Lawrence from Quebec City in the late 1990s, then intentionally moored (anchored) and listed (leaning) to the harbour floor. The harbour side restaurant never did get built, as the entrepreneur went bankrupt shortly afterwards.
Arsonists finished off the floating restaurant in the early 2000's, leaving a slowly rusting hulk on the Lake Ontario shoreline.
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
Windows and rusted security screens in a neglected storefront in the Old City section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Tenuous Link: went belly-up.
quietly rusting away, steel is but a temporary state, it comes from the earth and to the earth it will return

An old, abandoned motorcycle rusting in the humid Hawaiian climate. It was pouring rain, but I had to get this shot. I rushed out and set my aperture, focused and composed the shot, hoping it would turn out. Thankfully, it did. I knew the bright sky would throw off the light meter, so I made a quick estimate and set the appropriate aperture. Gotta love the sunny 16 rule.
This enormous fishing vessel has been abandoned to the elements at a jetty in Letterfrack, Connemara. The hull is rusted through in places and full of water; it will never sail again. The story is repeated at piers up and down the region, but few of the boats which have been abandoned are quite so large (or so dramatically coloured).
While the Dayton Concours d" Elegance is not Pebble Beach I thought this car fit the into the rust zone quite well. Besides RUST in photos is so colorful.
A decaying railroad switch-stand lamp leaks light through its rusted body.

This is a small portion of the Wavertree which was built at Southampton, England in 1885, one of the last large sailing ships built of wrought iron. Today she is the largest afloat. After sailing for a quarter century, she limped into the Falkland Islands in December 1910, having been dismasted off Cape Horn. The Wavertree was acquired by South Street Seaport Museum in 1968 and is in need of significant restoration. Taken in New York City, NY, USA.
I was dumb today and went to the Haw River thinking the water levels would be low enough for me to get some shots below the turbine building, but when I saw they were not, I had to stay above the river on the actual turbine building. And when I usually up here, I am taking pics of the graffiti itself, but today I did the opposite, and used the graffiti as the background. I guess that is one good thing about revisiting a spot over and over again -- you force yourself to shoot it differently each time.
It was also nice to use my Samsung NX30 again. Samsung has pissed me off the past 4 months or so, and my breaking point with them came earlier in the month when they didn't mention their camera division ONCE at CES. But I really dig my NX30, and I really love using old lenses on it, so I decide to forgive my current gear...........but I'll keep cursing the company until they give us a straight answer on what they are doing. Until I get my answer, I will stop researching the NX500 and NX1 as future purchases, and will instead research Sony's A6000, and Canon's 5D MK III and 7D MK II.
It really sucks investing so much money into a company's line, only to have them drop it, but that is the life of a consumer.............
