When the glitter and the glamour fades into real life, one is left with the really true reason we fell in love and continue to make it prevail against the wearying and hard tests of time.
Rusty maybe, but still working as it ought to, only in a different and enlightened way.

Believe it or not but this is the side of a barn, once painted green but having seen better days! Exmoor.
These rusting mice reminded me of the artwork with the boxing hares when I looked at the reflections.
I was taking the dog for a walk one morning last week and it was a very drab and moody day, however as we proceeded along the footpath cycle route, the sun came out from behind the clouds. With the dark, rain laden sky behind it this tree was lit by the sun, it's autumn leaves turned into gold.
So I took this photo because of the contrast. Seeking an image for the theme Saffron I looked up the colour description of Saffron, expecting it to be a bright yellow, therefore ruling out this shot. However the description states that "Saffron is a shade of yellow or orange ...", so I decided that this shade of yellow fits the bill. ;-)

A heavily rusted valve (?) on a disused jetty on the River Thames. There is a LOT of casually discarded stuff on the river, much of it in disused structures left to rot and collapse into the water. The Thames discharges into the sea so I daresay it's 'diluted' but just as there's a lot of sea, there's a lot of rust ! Probably not good for us (living things generally) at all.
Makes a nice picture, though.

Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.
I came across this section of old rusted pipe on a walk on the Dick & Willie Trail yesterday. Time and exposure to the elements have given it beautiful colors and textures.....
J'ai pris cette lame de couteau bien rouillée en fragrant délit alors qu'elle voulait se faire passer pour une feuille parmi celles du Bambou Bouddha de mon jardin. Difficile pour elle, vue sa taille, sa rigidité et les couleurs qu'elle propose. Enfin bref, elle a dû se faire plaisir un temps soit peu. #Macro #MacroMondays #Rust
Trebetherick
Another section of a wrecked ship on Trebetherick Point in the Camel Estuary.
This is another vessel which at some point in the past will have come to grief on the Doom Bar sand bar at the mouth of the Camel Estuary.
For centuries the Doom Bar has been regarded as a significant danger to shipiing. To be approached with caution in order to avoid running aground. When sails were the main source of power ships coming around Stepper Point would lose the wind, causing loss of steerage, leaving them to drift away from the shipping channel.
Richard Hellyer, the Sub-Commissioner of Pilotage at Padstow, gave evidence in 1859 that the Doom Bar was regarded as so dangerous that in a storm, vessels would risk being wrecked on the coast rather than negotiate the channel to Padstow harbour.
The Bar has accounted for more than 600 beachings, capsizes and wrecks since records began early in the nineteenth century, the majority of which are wrecks.
Despite improvements in maritime technology, the RNLI still deals with incidents on the Doom Bar. In February 1997, two fishermen drowned after their boat capsized. Two anglers had died in a similar incident in 1994. On 25th June 2007 the Padstow lifeboat along with a rescue helicopter, rescued the crews of two yachts in separate incidents from the area.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
Carrie Furnace - abandoned ironworks
National Historic Landmark
Carrie Furnace is a former blast furnace located along the Monongahela River in the industrial town of Rankin near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. It had formed a part of the Homestead Steel Works. The Carrie Furnaces were built in the 1880s and they operated until 1982.
During its peak, the site produced 1000 to 1250 tons of iron per day. All that is left of the site are furnaces #6 and #7, which operated from 1907 - 1978.
In 1898 Carrie Furnamce was purchased by Andrew Carnegie and incorporated into U.S. Steel in 1901. In 2005 it was purchased by Allegheny County. In 2006 the two remaining furnaces were designated as a National Historic Landmark.

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.

This photo was taken in the north of Vienna, near the boarder to Lower Austria. During my research for abandoned buildings in a small forest I suddenly found this wreck. It seems to be a moped, which looks a bit like the legendary Vespa.
I think it looks very interesting and will post more pictures from my adventure in this cool looking area in the future.
I hope you like the picture. Please give me some feedback to let me know what you think about this photo and feel free to click on the little white star.
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
This one was shot in Triq is-Salib Imqaddes (Holy Cross Street), a pedestrian street in Mdina, Malta. Mdina, Città Vecchia, or Città Notabile, (English: Notabile, or Imdina; Ancient Greek: Melitte, Μελίττη) is a fortified city in the Northern Region of Malta. It served as the island's capital from antiquity until 1530, when the capital was moved to Birgu.
Mdina is a medieval walled town situated on a hill in the centre of the island. Punic remains uncovered beyond the city’s walls suggest the importance of the general region to Malta’s Phoenician settlers. Mdina is commonly called the "Silent City" by natives and visitors. The town is still confined within its walls, and has a population of just under three hundred, but it is contiguous with the village of Rabat, which takes its name from the Arabic word for suburb, and has a population of over 11,000.
