I have found my personal rust paradise, only about 45 min from me. acres of old cars and trucks untouched for decades. It was a scrap yard years ago, but even the wrecks are awesome. I was overwhelmed walking the place, it would take a solid month just to see it all. much less Photograph. so...anytime I want to shoot old cars. I got that covered.
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.
This now retired Hulett Ore Remover stands in tribute to Cleveland's industrial heritage on the West Bank of the Flats entertainment district. It provides an interesting backdrop for the bright lights, loud music and beautiful people wearing as little clothing as they can get away with. The left to right, top to bottom orientation reminds me of a downward sloping graph, which to me represents the decline in heavy industry that has occurred here over the years. This image is the third installment in my one man, one lens Portrait of a City project.

Michel's Collision & Restoration in Alanson, Michigan. You might be able to make something cool out of some of these, but it would take a lot of work.
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.
Verdi, Nevada, 27 juni 2011 - In ongeveer tweeënhalve dag rijdt de door Amtrak geëxploiteerde California Zephyr van Chicago naar San Francisco (of eigenlijk Emeryville) aan de westkust. Aan boord genieten de reizigers van het uitzicht en vooral van de rust. Hier geen haastige overstappen en bagage die wel of niet de vlucht heeft gehaald. Met een aardige sleep Superliners en een bagagerijtuig zijn de General Electric Genesis P42 158 en P40DC's 816 en 815 net uit Reno, ofwel 'The Biggest Little City in the World' vertrokken. Ze beginnen hier op de grens met Californië aan de afdaling richting de kust over de mooie Donner Pass.

Verdi, Nevada, 27 June 2011 - In about two and a half days the California Zephyr travels all the way from Chicago in the Midwest to San Francisco (Emeryville) on the West Coast. On board during these 4,075 kilometers passengers enjoy the amazing views on the Western USA scenery, but above all experience peace and quiet. On board there is no need to worry about hasty connections on busy airports or if your luggage did indeed make it onto the next flight... You just sit back and relax. With a baggage car and a respectable number of Superliners on tow, Amtrak's Genesis P42 158 and P40DC's 816 and 815 run over the Truckee River bridge near Verdi. Train 5 has left casino town Reno (known as 'The Biggest Little City in the World') and is just about to start its descend into California via the beautiful Donner Pass.
More rust for the dust. In the background can be seen the historic Claybank brick works, now a national historic site.
