...a dilapidated old Triumph (I think TR3) I have driven past countless times on the road to North Devon. In the background is an almost equally sad Jaguar XJS.
Rust is an iron oxide, usually red oxide formed by the redox reaction of ironand oxygen in the presence of water or air moisture. Several forms of rust are distinguishable both visually and by spectroscopy, and form under different circumstances.[1] Rust consists of hydrated iron(III) oxides Fe2O3•nH2O and iron(III) oxide-hydroxide (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3).
Given sufficient time, oxygen, and water, any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. Surface rust is flaky and friable, and it provides no protection to the underlying iron, unlike the formation of patina on copper surfaces. Rusting is the common term for corrosion of iron and its alloys, such as steel. Many other metals undergo similar corrosion, but the resulting oxides are not commonly called rust.[citation needed]
Other forms of rust exist, like the result of reactions between iron and chloride in an environment deprived of oxygen. Rebar used in underwater concrete pillars, which generates green rust, is an example. Although rusting is generally a negative aspect of iron, a particular form of rusting, known as "stable rust," causes the object to have a thin coating of rust over the top, and if kept in low relative humidity, makes the "stable" layer protective to the iron below, but not to the extent of other oxides, such as aluminum.[2]
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.

My last rusted amanita this year. I really like the fly agaric mushroom. But most of all, when it dries out and ＂rusts＂ in the forest, and its cap turns a coppery-orange color and deforms in a whimsical way. That’s when it’s at its most beautiful and blends perfectly with the autumn colors. I have a few photos from this year. I＇ll share them this week. Poland, Karkonosze Mountains
A detailed section of a rusted, old, iron strap fixed to the harbour wall in St Monans, Fife. Goodness knows how long this has been there, battered by the elements and exposed to salt spray. I like the colours, texture and the ambiguity of the thing.

Another shot from near the same spot as last coiple of posts, I found this metal guide sort of thing in the water quite interesting, will post a shot showing more of it soon, as for the title Rust and waves, I guess in this area thre happy its rust and waves and Not oil like the diaster happening in the Gulf
I couldn't believe it when I found this Lily in some leaves of flowers. I liked the rust color. I am glad the flowers are lasting. Cool nights and rain helped.
