Part of my recent macro obsession. This is rust on my fire pit...I'm shooting through the diamond grating so there is some interesting shape to the background. Just loved all these colors of simple rust.

This old Adlake lock from the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific railroad has seen better days, but still looks nice in my collection of railroad stuff. I thought this might go well with the latest theme from 7DWF as its both decayed and from a railroad that saw many abandonments before it vanished for good when what was left was absorbed by the SOO Line.
Akaroa day one on our two day trip away to escape from the earthquake repair/paint on our house. May 22, 2012.
Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for 'Long Harbour'.
Akaroa is 84km by road from Christchurch and is the terminus of State Highway 75. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village and in summer the temporary population can reach 7,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour, and 'swim with the dolphins' boat tours are a major tourist attraction.

Especially older Trollinos had a real interior rust problem. Here's a good example of what melted salty snow can do over time
