A study in the beauty of decay. These photos of rust were taken on a day I learned that a family member had been diagnosed with cancer. I'm sure I departed from my usual practice of photographing beautiful landscapes in an effort to remind myself that you can find beauty even in decay if you look deeply enough. The subject is rusted corrugated aluminum sheets.

I was finally able to pick up a proof press. It's a Chandler and Price, vintage anywhere from the 1890's to about 1910. The price was so low even I could afford it. It also didn't hurt that it was about 3 miles from where I live. It looks like a refugee from Noah's Flood but in spite of that and the missing door it's all there and in useable shape, after cleanup that is.
The items inside are a brayer and two mailer machines. I'll post a separate photo with an explanation of those later.
Seems an lot of it on our Alexanders this spring. A lot more than usual, the Romans found not be eating it for their veggies in this condition!
Today, I was on a Walking Tour of Glasgow and we spent sometime in the Riverside Museum which is a new development for the previous Glasgow Museum of Transport and this is just a little part of a very old steam train - very rusty although it did look like it could still steam down the rail track!

Forest City is a ghost town in Utah County, Utah, United States. It is located in the valley of Dutchman Flat in the upper part of American Fork Canyon, in the Uinta National Forest. A silver mining town just over the mountain from Alta, Forest City was inhabited about 1871–1880. The town grew up around the smelter that was built to process ore from the canyon's mines. The American Fork Railroad, which was intended to serve Forest City and the smelter, stopped short of its destination due to engineering difficulties. Transportation costs rose too high for the mines to continue operating profitably. As the smelter, mines, and railroad closed down, Forest City was abandoned.
The bridge near Beverly Beach is in dangerously eroded condition, and explanatory signs nearby described the extreme salt water spray conditions faced by equipment left there. This chain link fence did a beautiful job of visually explaining the dangers.
BTW, tetanus is not caused by rust itself, but bacteria often contained in fecal matter. The reason it is associated with rust is that it often collects on nails that pop up in barns where bovine fecal matter is present.
Just thought you'd like to know. It was one of those things I was always wondering myself.

2006 December 27 - Rust along the left back corner of the Nissan Sentra's trunk hood. Water would seep in and drip into the trunk, yuck. No "before" pic available. I tried aluminum tape but it curled and water stayed underneath it. Then I tried spray painting the rusted areas with Rust-o-leum Hammered bronze paint. Works great so far! If it starts leaking again, I'll try caulking around the rubber seal edge.
I'm attempting to make it a practice to keep an eye out for textures. I'm also making these available for download if you are interested. If you use one please leave a comment or mark as a favorite.
It's amazing what a little saltwarer spray can do to a signpost. Another archive shot from near the airport in Lihue, Kauai, Hawaii.
The rusty post supports three signs warning of the many ways to die on the rocks. Please only pick one!
be sure to see it large to experience the multiple layers of decay,
I drive or walk past this delightful old relic nearly every day, and each time I think "one of these days I need to take a picture of that before it disappears..." Today was the day!
