Contamination affects all our oceans and other bodies of water. An example is the rust colored tint left in a strait.
Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is rust. As a collector and romantic hoarder of anything vintage I’m a rust lover for sure. I find rust irresistible and I have several very rusty items in my collections. I’m always worrying about tetanus (I’m a hypochondriac …) but I love my rusty vintage hooks, nails, screws, keys, bells etc… etc… But I don’t want to rust myself so that is the reason I run and today is my running day !
I wish you all an amazing Monday !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Sometimes it is not so easy to see past rust. But the mystery here prevails. What is before us is sometimes superficial.
Happy Macro Mondays
This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

Another hard job for my little tiny helpers. Someone came up with the idea to repair and unlock those old rusty nuts and bolts. Not even thinking about how tough this gets for my little workers. But once more...they give their best on it :)

I still have a few images from my trip to Lake Tyrell in November 2021.
I did post one of this old grader that sits several kilometers out from the shore of Lake Tyrell. It has been stranded there for almost 30 years, slowly rustling away.
"Rust Never Sleeps" is of course the title from Neil Young's Classic album Some consider the term to be a metaphor for artistic vitality. E.g. by staying the same, one is vulnerable to the corrosive effects of aging and obsolescence.
That works for me.
Believe it or not I do have a rust pot of rusted items especially for challenges like this! I used the oxidised under side of the glass jar in the background to create the orange hue.
Lightship 'North Carr' moored in City Quay, Dundee, Scotland. It was saved from being scrapped by the charity Tay Maritime Action (Taymara) in 2010, having been purchased for £1, but funds have yet to be raised for a full restoration.
Do not go gentle into that good
night,
Old age should burn and rave at
close of day:
Rage, rage against the dying of the
light.

I went for a walk and found this fire bowl in a beer garden.
I was fascinated how beautiful rust could be.
Enjoy and have a wonderful week !
