Macro Mondays 'rust' theme.
I discovered that there's a decided lack of rustiness in the village, I've ended up with this sadly unoriginal image of barbed wire.

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.

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!!!
Entry for an online weekly competition. This week's theme is 'Rust'.
A 3 × image HDR originally taken in 2012, it was re-processed this week, (09.June.2021), from original images.
This Bethlehem Steel builder's plate was on the small girder bridge over Dunbar Creek, in the abandoned former Western Maryland Railway Bowest Yard. The bridge was built in 1910 when the rest of the Western Maryland's Connellsville Extension was also being constructed. I didn't know at the time, but this bridge would later be reclaimed and used in a new yard for the Southwest Pennsylvania Railroad. During the construction of that yard, this builder's plate mysteriously disappeared. I hope it is in good hands, wherever it is.
Claustrophobic inducing buildings stair-stepping into the distance. Although there are tons of people in the surrounding offices, you almost get a sense of emptiness standing on a rooftop looking at the quiet structures reaching up into the sky
