This is not supposed to be rusty or crusty, unfortunetly,--- it is my porch swing chain. trying a little dof. Straight from camera.

Another fine example of how Copenhageners personalise their faithful bikes. A groovy, home-made wallpaper job on an otherwise boring chain guard.
I love to mix older fabrics from my stash with a few prints that I just bought. So far I used over eighty different fabrics for the project.
I found this poor little bird chained next to a shop probably to attract the attention of bypassing tourists- which worked pretty well I must say. He seemed completely disturbed and behaved quite abnormal constantly twitching and jumping around. No wonder: can't be the best life he's living chained to that small pole.

As long as you stay on the green (and his restraints restrain), you're good.
Greenland Dogs are working animals and not pets. They are kept chained up most of the time and only used in winter for pulling sledges. The perfect circle of trampled ground made by the dog caught my eye.
The Greenland Dog (Greenlandic: Kalaallit Qimmiat, Danish: Grønlandshunden, also known as Greenland Husky) is a large breed of husky-type dog kept as a sled dog and for hunting polar bear and seal. It is an ancient breed, thought to be directly descended from dogs brought to Greenland by the first Inuit settlers.
Greenland dogs are usually chained up for the summer and used by the Inuit in winter for sledging. The perfect circle of trampled bare ground caught my eye,
In 1975, a study was made of ancient canid remains dated to the Late Pleistocene and early Holocene that had been uncovered by miners decades earlier around Fairbanks, Alaska. These were identified as Canis lupus and described as "short-faced wolves". The collection was separated into those specimens that looked more wolf-like (i.e. the Beringian wolf), and those that looked more dog-like and in comparison to the skulls of Eskimo dogs from both Greenland and Siberia thought to be their forerunners.
Nearly all dog breed's genetic closeness to the gray wolf is due to admixture.[2] However, several Arctic dog breeds show a genetic closeness with the now-extinct Taymyr wolf of North Asia due to admixture. These breeds are associated with high latitudes - the Siberian husky and Greenland dog that are also associated with arctic human populations, and to a lesser extent the Shar Pei and Finnish spitz. An admixture graph of the Greenland dog indicates a best-fit of 3.5% shared material, however an ancestry proportion ranging between 1.4% and 27.3% is consistent with the data. This indicates admixture between the Taymyr wolf population and the ancestral dog population of these 4 high-latitude breeds. This introgression could have provided early dogs living in high latitudes with phenotypic variation beneficial for adaption to a new and challenging environment. It also indicates the ancestry of present-day dog breeds descends from more than one region.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but by how we react to what happens, not by what life brings to us, but by the attitude we bring to life. A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events, and outcomes. It is a catalyst, a spark that creates extraordinary results.

An image from Keflavik, Iceland. I'm not sure of the relevance of this monument as I couldn't understand the plaque. I would guess at some sort of acknowledgement of the islands maritime history? I did like the detail in all the rust and how weather beaten it looks. Even on 35mm film the detail still holds up very well.
