I found this in a giant abandoned steel factory in Völklingen, Germany. Parts of this can be visited.
Dieses Motiv fand ich im stillgelegten Stahlwerk Völklinger Hütte im Saarland.
A transition to something a bit different from a Show 'n' Shine. No idea as to what model this old timer is, but it does not matter, as there is not enough showing to appreciate the actual car. No shine to this set of wheels, but most will know how much I like the look of rust and of shapes.
Will likely take two clicks to get to full view, but worth it if you like texture.
Rusting farm sheds in the countryside add to the atmosphere of this photo along with the moody sky, Hillview, Queensland, Australia.
I wasn’t planning on falling in love today—but then I spotted this rust bucket with charm for days and a windshield that’s seen more sunsets than I have awkward crushes...

Grauland
At the garage of the Hawaii Railway Co., LTD. The surf really rolls in and there is much salt in the air
In de haven van Helgoland zijn prachtige structuren door roest op de havenpalen door getijdewisselingen en metalen ontstaan.
In the port vanHelgoland its magnificent structures rust harbor piles caused by tidal fluctuations and metals.
Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.
Landschaftspark Duisburg 13.
The Landschaftspark is a public park in the German city of Duisburg. The center of the park is formed by the ruin of a blast-furnace complex shut down in 1985.

The rails of the former Monon just south of Campbellsburg, Indiana sit rusting away in the warm sun.
I wandered up over the brow of a gravelly track, not realising it was a front drive. The white haired woman (Fiona McTaggerty Taggert, without beards) met me as she stepped out of her elderly Hyundai. She explained the rusty old truck was her son's. He's now 50 if she remembers rightly and he bought it to do up one day. Somehow that day seems to have slipped by and his dreams of a restored old truck lie rotting away in an out of sight quarry behind the Tioram cafe. She explained some vandals got to it and smashed it up. I imagine it was pristine before that
This is a close-up photo of seaweed and patterns of rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach.
"And the rest is rust and stardust."
Vladimir Nabokov
There is much to appreciate what time wears away. We should also remember to apply that thought to our fellow human beings.
Rust is the common name for a very common compound, iron oxide. Iron oxide, the chemical Fe2O3, is common because iron combines very readily with oxygen -- so readily, in fact, that pure iron is only rarely found in nature. Iron (or steel) rusting is an example of corrosion.
When a drop of water hits an iron object, two things begin to happen almost immediately. First, the water, a good electrolyte, combines with carbon dioxide in the air to form a weak carbonic acid, an even better electrolyte. As the acid is formed and the iron dissolved, some of the water will begin to break down into its component pieces -- hydrogen and oxygen. The free oxygen and dissolved iron bond into iron oxide, in the process freeing electrons.
The chemical compounds found in liquids like acid rain, seawater and the salt-loaded spray from snow-belt roads make them better electrolytes than pure water, allowing their presence to speed the process of rusting on iron and other forms of corrosion on other metals.
