This picture was taken next to Scargill reservoir, Norwood, Yorkshire. There are interesting prefabricated buildings there, now abandoned and falling into decay.
I've cut in hard on the original composition of the shot to get the picture here (which you can kind of tell, and I would have preferred the resolution to have been sharper, but never mind). It was the simplicity of the colours and the composition, the orange rust and green reflected in both the rusty chubb lock and the surrounding wood that attracted me to this edited version.
Orange sporangia --
Air-borne spores;
Cedar-apple rust.
.
.
This orange fungus is growing on a red cedar tree, and at this time of the year the fungus releases spores from its orange sporangia (spore cases). The spores are carried by the wind. The spores that happen to land on apple trees will infect their leaves. Soon rust-colored fungal spores from the apple leaves will be released, infecting red cedar trees. That's why this is called Cedar-Apple Rust. The fungal infection alternates from red cedar trees to apple trees.

Happy May Day!!!
For many people, including me, this is the first day of summer, according to ancient tradition. Some cultures call this day Beltane, but I just call it May Day!!! Happy Summer!!!
Light, shadow, colour, rust, pattern and texture - all brought to you courtesy of time and tide. Literally.
I picked this one for visual interest and uniquness. The color and texture seems to pop. This a macro of a section of my fire pit cover.

Rust is an iron oxide, a usually reddish-brown oxide formed by the reaction of iron and oxygen in the catalytic presence of water or air moisture. Rust consists of hydrous iron(III) oxides (Fe2O3·nH2O) and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3), and is typically associated with the corrosion of refined iron.
Given sufficient time, any iron mass, in the presence of water and oxygen, could eventually convert entirely to rust.
The former NSB Maschinenbau Kiel (MaK) Di-8 locomtives provide the main source of traction around Scunthorpe Steelworks. 8.703 is seen in the rusty environs of the works with a train of empty billet wagons.
The locomotives were built in 1996-1997 for Norwegian State Railways but were gradually replaced by EMD Class 66 and Vossloh Euro types. With plenty of life still in them ten of the class were sold moving initially to Redcar steelworks. When Redcar closed they moved again, to Scunthorpe, mainly replacing the YEC Janus types.
The large Bo-Bo types have Caterpillar CAT 3516 DITA engine which generates 2,110 hp and a top speed of 75mph, although it's doubtful that they will see anywhere near that speed on the lines around the steeworks.
