The bugs will soon be so thick that taking pictures at this time of day would cause misery and blood loss.......
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.

Hidden almost out of sight, just off the Huron Street bridge in downtown Stratford, Ontario lies the Shakespearean Gardens. This well manicured English garden offers a formal setting with boxwood hedges,stone walkways, benches and gazebo yet comes alive with the brilliant colour of an amazing array of flowers, herbs, shrubs and trees.
More rust for the dust. In the background can be seen the historic Claybank brick works, now a national historic site.

From the bumper guards, light fixtures and mirror placements, this looks to be around 1958 Anglia, but I am not sure. I am sure that it is rusty, and in bad shape.

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 .

my 3 year old son saw this picture and commented "the choo choo train looks sad" which I suppose rusting away there, it kind of does look sad.......

Troy may barely qualify as a rust belt city geographically, but it certainly does historically. I wanted to frame two of Troy's coolest late 19th century buildings together- the Gasholder building in the foreground, and the distant "Fortress of Shoddy" in the background.
Both combined still useful for security !
Seen in a makeshift godown.
( Thanks to Mr.Ezhil Ramalingam for the idea ! )

Anthony Gormley's "Another Place" Crosby Merseyside.
Gormley also created the "Angel of the North". I made an image featuring that yesterday which sparked me to revisit "Another Place". A lovely day was had by all. The nearby Freshfields Squirrel reserve at Formby is still without the huge numbers of red squirrels which it boasted in the past but we fitted a visit in there too. (National Trust)
Garage rusting away in Thompson Springs, Utah. The town was once an important stop along the old Denver and Rio Grande, Western Railroad but Thompson Springs has been suffering a slow death over the last few decades. In 2010 39 people lived in Thompson Springs but most have now moved away leaving sad, empty homes decaying all over town and long abandoned store fronts filled with ghosts line its main drag. Thompson Springs seems destined to share the same fate as the nearby ghost towns of Sego and Cisco. Grand County, Utah

Surrounded by towering trees and out of control weeds, a sagging barn lives out its days in a quiet regalness unappreciated by almost everyone that briefly considers it.
Someone with sharp vision might spot an old pickup rusting away beside it. Some farmer took a last trip to the side of a barn where with a lingering turn of the key it died and the driver’s door shut for a final time.
There’s a good chance hardly anyone is still around for whom either the barn or pickup was something they relied on daily to run and maintain the farm and livestock.
Tools, machinery and farm buildings have a finite life. Equipment that once brightly reflected the sun when a farmer had it delivered to the farm for the first time, soon is replaced by larger, faster and more expensive machinery and the former eventually sits in the grove gathering rust.
Many of us who were once strong, young farms kids with bronzed skin, muscled arms and a full head of unruly hair have grown old too. All around us in a busy world we are reminded both of our former youth and our present age.
If we are fortunate in our dwindling years, we have a ‘pickup’ near us, one that understands the battles of aging as well as we do. I was reminded this week of the privilege it is to live a long life with someone you chose decades ago to walk life’s journey with on this planet.
I watched as a doctor gently rotated my wife’s arms seeking to diagnose debilitating pain she has been experiencing the last couple of weeks. He was looking at her as she is now but as he dealt with her, my mind wandered to a strong young woman holding our first born, of countless nights she slept little as she tended to our growing family, of thousands of loads of washing she did and way too many meals over the years prepared for our family and frequent guests.
I’m pretty much mirroring the condition of this barn and pickup now but am as content as I ever have been knowing I have a companion who walks with me as together we go through the rest of our rusting years.

This is part of a horse sculpture in the Harris Sculpture Garden on the campus of North Central Michigan College in Petoskey, Michigan.
The sculpture is called "J-bolt and The Ghost Rider" by Dixie Jewett.
I found a box of rusted nails, so i though to give it a shot using my Macro lens 100mm. I hope you like it .. Thank you for your comments on the above picture.
This is a sketch I did for Rust BC back in 1991. I'm headed back to Washington DC, today, for an exhibition titled Pump Me Up: D.C. Subculture of the 1908s
More info here: www.corcoran.org/exhibitions/pump-me-dc-subculture-1980s
I'll be showing two sketchbooks from the mid-80s along with several of my old MCA crew mates. Should be fun times...
