During my drive through some back roads of Iowa, I came across a collection of rusted farm equipment.
It was interesting to walk among them.
Dismantled a child's playhouse last year and have now got around to disposing of it. Fair to say the elements had taken their toll on it
Back story ~
As fate would have it, my hunt took an unexpected turn, I stumbled down a steep embankment, my foot caught on a root and I tumbled to the ground. As I lay there, I noticed something peculiar. Tiny mushrooms, no bigger than my thumbnail, were peeking out from beneath the forest litter. I brushed away some of the debris to get a better look. The mushrooms were a rusty brown with dark bands around their stems. Only the cap of the mushroom on the left was visible, the rest of it hidden beneath the litter. OK, I could keep going but the fun is in the hunt...
Rusting is an oxidation reaction. The iron reacts with water and oxygen to form hydrated iron(III) oxide, which we see as rust.
A rusting ring at the Albert Dock. I do get excited when I spot something rusting like this, I'm beginning to wonder if I need to get out more :)
It's a Chevrolet, but don't know the year.
Can anyone make out the sign on it?
Still has the plates, but can't determine the year or state.
Parked in a field in Southern New Jersey
An old Chevy truck sits rusting and forgotten in front of a barn while the burnt out and rusting shell of a NW2 sits back in the yard at the G&W shops at Retsof NY.
Something a bit different.
50mm @ f8 - didn't know it went up that high! ;))) (just kidding)

Just a nice little figure to showcase my two beautiful rust prototypes :3
That said, they are not for trade. :)
I am trying to get some more interesting stuff cooked up, so hang tight until then ;) Some figures and maybe a small build will be posted soon! Enjoy!

I had read about and seen photographs of the Amtrak RTG Turboliner that was sitting in junk yard near Dugger, Indiana. During a photo expedition to that area I finally got to see it in person. Reportedly it was moved here in the early 1990s, arriving by truck from the Amtrak Beech Grove shops near Indianapolis. This is power car 59 and there is said to be two passenger coaches here, too. But they were obscured by brush. I'll have to stop by during the winter when the leaves are gone and take another look.
A single strand of grass peeps through the rust surrounded hole in a piece of no longer used farming gear.
While out on a job I undertook a cursory explore of the ruin of the Church of St.Mary Fleggburgh, turns out the ruin of this long abandoned harvesting machine which I discovered are photogenic in their own way.

I guess an old rusty car is like a cancer victim. Unattended the body is OK but the rust keeps eating it away until it is no longer its former self and not able able to hit the road and get out and enjoy life again.Then one day somebody says "what a waste...that can be restored, all you gotta do is kill the rust and start over again"
Cut to the chase.....my Big C is in remission, hopefully a stem cell transplant will be the restoration....and the road never looked so good again.
thanks everybody for listening and CARING....merc
