I realize this is quite a departure from what I normally do but I'm so inspired by the many superb abstract works I see here on Flickr. Color is, for me, a very difficult and tricky thing to get right.

Why rust? Well, rust is cool. I mean, look at it this way. Metal tends to be pretty tough stuff. You can smash it, bend it, reshape it, fire it, freeze it, generally abuse it in a number of different ways. But if you really want to destroy it with minimal effort, just leave it alone for a while outdoors in a moist environment. In time, it will break down.

This is along the drive from the Presidio to Ft. Point, under the Golden Gate Bridge, in San Francisco.
