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.
With hubby off on vacation, I haven't had the chance for much drawing or crafting this week, but I did manage to 'rust' the cover of my latest Stillman & Birn Zeta sketchbook. A little UmWow Chipboard, resin piece, pattern paper flower, Micaceous Iron Oxide & other Golden acrylics, coarse molding paste and voila! I have 'rusted' my cover!

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).
