Here are another picture of the very nice cascades near Soubey (Jura, Switzerland). With all the snow melting above, in the Franches-Montagnes, it was a real flood.
As you can see on this shot, the framing is rather unperfect : the left side is kind of messy and blurry, there's this perspective in the upper right corner that could have been intensified. Moreover, it's not totally at horizon level : all I had to do was to go a little lower with the tripod rotate the camera. That was my first plan.
The problem was : I wore shitty shoes and I stood upon a slippery rock covered with moss. What had to happen happened : I slipped, the tripod slipped and my 100D fall directly in the water in a very nice "sloosh".
Fortunately, it remained in the water less than 5 seconds and the screen was still showing this picture when I removed the battery. It is now in a kilogramme of long grain USA parboiled rice, and will stay there until tomorrow evening. I hope it will manage to dry it completely. I have some hope to save it ...
However, saving the lens would probably be a miracle, but I try anyway with the same trick ... Now I just have to wait, pray and see ...
So I am happy to show you this very last shot of my (maybe) dead buddy. I hope I did not became a photographer without a camera ...

This picture was explored on the 2nd of March 2016 ! Thank you really much for your kind messages !
And now : the end of the story : I tried the camera this morning. The body seem to work perfectly fine. The lens AF and stabilizer work as well, but there's some dirt on the lenses inside, so I'll probably have to make it clean. Then, it's always possible to have some rust on electronic components. I'll see in the future.
So the rice trick works, but I definitely think that what saved my camera is the fact that I removed the battery very quickly. What you don't want is some short-circuits on electronic components that heat and burn after a few seconds (they are small, so it can happen really fast). Without electrical power, much less risk to get damages.
Thank you anyway for your support !
Rural letter boxes are my theme for today. You see, I have a firm belief that people living in rural areas have far too much time on their hands, and this leads to time-wasting and the construction of frivolous letter boxes like the ones posted here today. You will see them along the highways and country roads all over Australia. This rusted tractor is a fine example of a job half done; not a drop of paint to be seen as it rusts way beside a country road. Mind you, a bush fires swept through a week earlier, everything was burned but the letter box.
MacroMonday theme
Not hard to find subjects for macros on this theme - in a wet climate like here, rust is all around.
This is on the base of a fire pit - bolt connecting the bowl and leg of the firepit.
It lives outside ...but looking at this. maybe it would have fared better in the garage over the winter!

During my buddy Harvey's recent visit, I gave him a serious dose of historic gold mining sites with a side order of blacksmiths. Harv was continually on the lookout for that elusive 5 lb. gold nugget. Alas, he was sorely out of luck on that count, however he did get a nice exposure to rust. What do you expect from 19th century historical mining sites? More on those blacksmiths later.
Happy May Day everyone.

Just as iron rusts from disuse...
even so does inaction spoil the intellect.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of "rust" I couldn't believe how hard it would be to find something rusty in my house!

I bought most of these tools over 50 years ago, and many were already well used when I bought them, so they've definitely earned their rust.

This is a close-up photo of rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach. The amazing textures are best seen full screen in Slideshow.
This abstract is a section of the rusty hull from the vessel Oakglen that sits in our harbour. There is so much rust it was hard to compose something that spoke to me. Making sense of what seems like a lot of chaos is good practice for the tumultuous times we are living in. I guess I see a marsh with a moon reflected in it because nature is my go to place to find peace. May you all find your place of peace, too.
