A rusty rail chair seen on a visit, some time ago, to the Nene Valley Railway.

I first saw Rusted Root play at the Boat House in Norfolk, VA, one of my favorite small venues. I later saw them in Richmond, Virginia, and then at the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, and now twice at the Lincoln Theatre in Raleigh.

They play an eclectic blend of world inspired Rock that is heavy on percussion and non-traditional instruments. Their music is frenetic and entrancing and just a whole lot of fun with power and raw emotion thrown in for good measure.

Each of their independent acts is worth catching, but together they are an amazing band.

The theme of the week at Aberystwyth Camera Club.

Jim (active metabolite) suggested I explore this rusted out car ... thanks!

I heard a bit more of the story from a fellow dog walker. Apparently it was a stolen car, dumped about six months ago in the bush. The council moved it to where it is now (still in the bush, but near a track it could be towed away from). About a week later, it was torched. It's still not been taken away. To me, it's become a bit of a feature on this particular walk, and I'd miss it!

I took away the background and the context, so now it has become very abstract...

Que bonitos son y que pena dan cuando los ves así de maltratados.

As fascinated as I am by the many abandoned cabins and trailers that sit decomposing in the Southern California desert, I'm just as intrigued by the possessions that have been left behind with them. Pictured here, a rusty old bedspring I stumbled upon in the yard of a deserted jackrabbit homestead in Wonder Valley, CA.
