Reclaimed Rust

I was back in Grunewald again to walk Bobby a few days ago and there are so many fallen / chopped down trees, quite literally littering the forest floor, which was annoying and a little depressing to see. But that said, some of the older carcasses so to speak, were already becoming somewhat consumed by moss and fungi, this tree was no exemption. A falling for one is a growth opportunity for another and so nature continues and reclaims as it does.
Albeit this is on a spectacularly smaller scale, I cannot help think of places like New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and Pripyat after Chernobyl, ought to be a sobering reminder that the only true god like deity that exists is Mother Nature / Gaia. That which always, fights back, wins out and reclaims. Every single time!
I hope everyone is well and so as always, thank you! :)
I came across this scene a couple of years ago and visited several times before capturing anything of note. In autumn and winter the canopy opens up too much and the scene becomes too bright so when in its green display in August it works reasonably well. I like the elements of our activity with these giant millstones slowly being reclaimed back to nature.
Thank you for visiting - ❤ with gratitude! Fave if you like it, add comments below, get beautiful HDR prints at qualityHDR.com.
We sometimes go hiking at nearby Rancho San Antonio in Cupertino, California. On the way there is a farm called Deer Hollow Farm. I spotted these cattle/pig stairs, used to load the animals onto wagons/trucks in the old days. Nature is slowly reclaiming the contraption.
I processed a balanced HDR photo from a RAW exposure.

Everything that comes from this earth will eventually go back to it.
Nature-reclaimed building found at HoPe at Syn Isles
I shall let Nature reclaim me, this heart will beat once more with the strength of her in me..
Many Thankyou's for browsing at my work, I am so appreciative of comments and awards given to me. Nothing is wasted.
This old BMW was abandoned in Bayhurst Wood many years ago and has now been almost reclaimed by nature.
The abandoned car back in 2012 in comments:
LS&I's 7 Tilden is chugging upgrade between Palmer Line Junction and Eagle Mills Junction with 60 loads from Tilden Mine.
In the background is the long dormant Tracy Mine. Opened in the early 1950s and closed in the early 1970s, LS&I built a new right of way (the one the train is on) to access the underground mine via two connection tracks, one of which swung off just ahead of the lead locomotive.
Like so many other dead mines in the area, Mother Nature is slowly reclaiming what it can of the property.
First farmed over 4000 years ago by bronze age settlers, much of Bodmin Moor’s prehistoric and medieval past remains untouched by the passing of the centuries. The Moor is dominated by dramatic granite tors which tower over the sweeping expanses of open moorland. Marshes and bogs on the high moor drain into shallow moorland valleys, before the rivers cross onto the softer shales surrounding the Moor, and carve themselves deep river valleys. Historically the landscape of Bodmin Moor has engendered fear and awe, generating folklore and legend. Fact and fiction become one, as tales are passed down the generations.
Minions, the highest village in Cornwall, can be found high up on Bodmin moor in South East Cornwall. The surrounding area offers a wealth of archaeological interest from early Bronze Age onwards. Tin and copper mining took place here until early in the last century. Although the area has now been returned to nature, with its industrial past slowly succumbing to slow decay and overgrowth, many of the pump houses and spoil tips can still be seen.
I was amazed to stumble across half a block of mostly hidden abandoned row houses in the middle of north Detroit. The surrounding blocks are mostly empty now. Just vacant overgrown lots and dark empty buildings.

Two of the tug boats owned by Cory, moored at their depot in Charlton and seen from across the river in Silvertown. The grey wall behind belongs to a Sainsbury's supermarket distribution centre.
The tugs tow waste materials along the river in massive barges to a recycling plant in Belvedere.
Annesley All Saints or "Old Church" dates to 1356. It was abandoned in 1874 after the focus of the community shifted eastwards towards a new coal mine. A new church was consecrated closer to the miner's houses and this one fell into ruin. There are great views of the ruins of Annesley hall, which stand on private land, from the Churchyard. Annesley, Nottinghamshire, UK.
Nobody live in these Peruvian makeshift houses or has intention to live there. Building one of them may give one day the right to the builder to reclaim the ownership of the land.
This image is from an evening spent at Covehithe in suffolk, I waited for almost 2 hours for the tide to come in and surround this second world war pill box.
