this one is going to be fun...
Truly, this is my idea of fun. My favorites are the ones that are in the worst condition.
I know it looks impossible, but from the parts I have already worked on I think I will be able to clean this girl up really well. These vintage machines are so well made that despite all the rust it still works. Once cleaned it probably will work as well as it did in its heyday.
Saw this back in 2010 during a trip round the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Recently reprocessed in Photomatix and Lightroom.
An awesome old International truck, quietly resting in a field near the gallows at Bannack Ghost Town. This truck has a proud look, even in it's sad state of repair. A great subject for HDR
**OOC note**
Part of the experience of the following series will be listening along to linked music if you so desire. So you know how I feel as I'm hashing out the story ;)

Rule 14. Always carry a change of underwear*
The sickness is spreading, the infected lurk around aimlessly looking for fresh water and plants. Flit and Dylain can hear them coughing above ground, sometimes scratching at the door. They seam to be everywhere surrounding the bunker and blocking their escape.
The girls in no way want to come into contact with the pandemic as they've experience it before - and let me tell you, they call it rust mouf for a reason - Flit shudders at the memories.
Thankfully they are currently well stocked and safe down below eating twonkies and watching golden girls reruns on an old tele and vcr Flit has rigged up.

Rust pattern on a derelict electric train engine, Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania, Strasburg, PA. My eyes were drawn to the interesting abstract pattern the rust formed; its depiction of the decay that all man-made objects are subject to. Only upon editing this image did I see the greenbottle fly sitting in plain sight amid the rust.

Believe it or not but this is the side of a barn, once painted green but having seen better days! Exmoor.

Shot this today, on Free Comic Book Day. It's the building across the street from my usual comic book shop.
Appropriately, the Stark Building (built twenty years before this one) is just a block or two away.
I'm always a sucker for a bit of barbed wire and some rust! Spotted while walking part of the Saffron Trail from Battlesbridge to Hullbridge!
The Saffron Trail is a long distance footpath just over 71 miles in length stretching all the way from Southend-on-Sea in the south east of the county to Saffron Walden in the north west. The Saffron Trail was devised by Essex Ramblers because they noticed that the two major long distance walks in Essex - The Essex Way and St Peter's Way - both went from west to east, and thought it would be a nice idea to have a south-north route as well.
The walk is called the 'Saffron Trail' because it ends in Saffron Walden. The name conjures up exotic images of an historic spice trail and since the town is named after the saffron grown there from 1400 - 1700 (extracted from crocuses), this seems to make sense. Sadly though, there is no evidence of any such spice trail between Saffron Walden and Southend. Nor is it likely as Southend has never been a trading port. In fact the bulk of the saffron crop was sold in England, where it was in high demand as medicine (it does have many medicinal uses, and was thought to be a cure for the plague), as a flavouring and for dyeing, and a small amount was exported via London in the 17th century to the American colonies and to northern Europe.
If you were to arrive at Truro by water - this is the view that would greet you . Taken from one of The Enterprise Boats boat tours from Trelissick Gardens you can see this pile opposite the Sunny Corner area .
