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.

I'm not sure how old these chain links are, but salty water, wind, sun and fog take their tall on them. Their rusted cracking crust brings out some character and fits perfectly in the surroundings.
Stopped off at a historical site called Britannia Mines on the way back to Vancouver from Whistler Mountain. The weather cooperated and the late afternoon sunshine brought out the redness in the various rusted machinery on the site. My only regret was I had my Panasonic FZ1000 with me instead of my Canon 5D MK II kit.

Lost & forgotten. A couple of years ago this poor truck was completely covered in blackberry bushes. You could only see a few rust spots sticking out. Its been sitting in this farmer's field for a long time.
Rusting tank at the Tank Museum at Barnham, Suffolk. This looks like the area that the dead tanks are kept before being restored.
Don't know what kind of tank it is (See below, Black Chalk has identified it as a Conqueror Mk. 1). I like the way the turret is pointing out to the countryside, it looks like it was killed in situ.
See where this picture was taken. [?]

on leaves and particularly on sepals which seems interesting
calling Pyrola asarifolia but not entirely sure
leaves (mostly hidden by Linnaea borealis)
came across 2 orange rusts on Pyrola:
1 Chrysomyxa pyrolata
www.inaturalist.org/observations/12913688
and www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/11956860.2000.11682605 - "Sexual spores (i.e., basidiospores) of the spruce cone rust (Chrysomyxa pirolata; Uredinales) produced on leaves of a small perennial herb, the common pink wintergreen (Pyrola asarifolia; Pyrolaceae), must travel from the forest floor to the forest canopy, where they infect the female cones of white spruce (Picea glauca; Pinaceae). Asexual spores (i.e., urediniospores) must move among pyrola plants on the forest floor. Spore transmission is complicated by relatively calm wind conditions within the forest, and the short critical period during which the cones of white spruce can be infected."
2 Pucciniastrum pyrolae
