Rust decay on a boat in old Leigh

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.

Makarora, South Island.

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.

If you look you will find there is a lot more to a rusted car body than meets the eye..

Working my way down from Half Moon Bay towards Santa Cruz I found this old Universal pickup truck.

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.

Warner and Swasey Co., Cleveland, Ohio.

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

Rusted gear teeth. Found in Los Cerrilos, New Mexico at the Casa Grande Trading Post.

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

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.

Just practising with DoF really. Nothing special :)

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 .
