The overcast sky provided good diffuse lighting for this shot. This is one of thousands of rusting metal tanks that litter our fields. Liked the contrasting colours.
An abandoned steel chimney, final place of rest until getting recycled to fresh iron.. probably, eventually.. CRW_4476_edited-1

This car has been rusting away and decaying for the last odd 30 years... he's resilient though... and still doesn't want to rust properly...
I often think to myself that this is how old people are, they age and they start to get more fragile and frail but refuse to break, till at some point they give up. The they start to decay till there is nothing left and many of them seem to loose the will to live...
Sorry about this dark note. Just my track of mind at the moment.
The types of rust were as varied as the cars. I'd never really thought about rust patterns being all that different. Here they were like varied types of fungi.
From the side of an Army ambulance built circa 1947 and probably never painted more than once. Sitting out in the New Mexico sun and scouring dust-winds can do some wild things to paint and metal. The dark strip along the top is the shadow of the gutter-like ridge at the edge of the truck's roof.
The original colors would have been a red cross within a white square and everything else army green. I honestly don't know why there's white within the cross or which reds are paint, which rust, and which rust stain (but no flakes). It's weird.
I have of course manipulated the image for effect, but have done no painting. What you see is what was there - sorta'.
