one of the big green dump bin at the marina has most of the paint scratched off where the fork of the lift-truck scrapes the sides and now the rust is taking over. Makes great patterns and colour combination

This was shot for the rust challenge this week...I am definitely rusty at getting out and shooting. This is an example of caring my Coolpix A with me everywhere.

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.
The rust foreshadows the inevitable future of the rails in St. Thomas. Once the incredibly busy, productive hub of rail commerce in Southern Ontario, there is little here to connect us any longer, and, I feel, the situation will grow bleaker, faster.
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

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.
