This is a macro of a bird bath in my yard. The black ball is about 1/4 inch, 1/2 centimeter, in diameter. The bird bath was supposedly made out of copper but after a year or so in the yard it has become obvious that it is not. I should have known better, if it was really copper it would have been stolen and melted down by now.
a rush through the rusted veins
illuminate the face of one

about the little compromise
the distorted views you had
cold white spring
a wordless song i sing
eye
white cloud
all my thoughts are in doubt

I visited my friend's garden yesterday and found this sculpture of a sailboat covered with rust. She remembered when it was shiny, I liked the look of the rust!
The colors in the rust seem to blend with the flowers and plants in the background.

Fishing industry has been reduced to next to nothing in Nieuwpoort, this is one of the last remaining examples. Although it looks to me like the "N86 Surcouf" won't be taking to the water any time soon.
Come voi avete occhi per vedere la luce, e orecchie per sentire i suoni, così avete un cuore per percepire il tempo. E tutto il tempo che il cuore non percepisce è perduto, come i colori dell'arcobaleno per un cieco o il canto dell'usignolo per un sordo.

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.
A shackle on the Hatston Slip, Kirkwall that has seen better days. Looking over to Kirkwall from the Hatston Slip, wind gusting over 40kts. Managed to park the car at an angle to give me the shelter for this 10second exposure. Really nice light today pity about the wind though:) Why have they removed the Note function from this new Flickr? i liked to point things out in my pics.
Ships of Powell River's floating breakwater slowly coming apart. Most were built amid material shortages of late World War II, hence the use of concrete. But being horribly inefficient, they only served a few years before being added to the breakwater in the late 1940s.
