Last weekend, Ken & I bought a beautiful little metal gazebo- rusted and perfect for SO many of my tiny spots here- it's not big at all - 6 ft. wide. But here it sits, still on the truck! Not as easy as I thought, with only two of us to manage getting it off there! The leg columns are lying down in the bottom of the truck bed. :)
This is not "new" new, but new to me! I hope that counts! :)

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.
Goldfield Ghost Town, Apache Junction, Pinal County, AZ Jul 2, 2011 — I hand-held multiple exposures then converted five images to tiffs using Lightroom. I used Photomatrix to tone-map the HDR image. I spruced-up the image using the Topaz plug-ins DeNoise, Detail, and Simplify, and touched-up the image using Photoshop.

Deeply though I love it, I've never known such a place as South Wales for littering, fly tipping and general dumping, often in the midst of lovely scenery. I could take you to a mile-long, dead-end road leading out into open moorland that is lined from end to end with discarded household impedimenta of every conceivable description. Perhaps our regular motoring correspondents can have a stab at identifying the make, model and likely vintage of this car. The almost complete lack of any paintwork suggests that it was torched as well.
This old rusted hook was screwed into a blue wooden fence post or something of that nature, and had bits of ivy covering it.
ADAW 16/52: Rewigged and redressed Little Dal Silver Ranger that got the Steampunk treatment for PUDDLE 2019.
Just a walking distance from my place, a farmer has a collection of old farming equipment, The rust is just amazing.
Viewing large on black shows all the grungy details. ;)
This is an old Plymouth that sits in a driveway in my neighborhood. I love the colors of the rust against the fading body paint. Throw a little chrome in there and it's photographic eye candy. ;)

PROCESSING NOTES:
for each individual image I ...
- duplicated the Background Layer, changed to LAB Mode, ran a high-pass filter, changed back to RGB Mode, and switched the blend mode of that layer to Soft Light
- duplicated the new layer to double the effect
- made another duplicate of the Background Layer, dragged it to the top, ran high-pass filter, changed blend mode of that layer to Soft Light (to bring out details even more)
- made a stamp of all layers, added a b&w adjustment layer, manually adjusted it for a high-contrast look, switched that stamped layer to Soft Light blend mode, then tweaked the b&w adjustment layer until I achieved the desired look
- added a texture layer to the top and changed it's blend mode to Soft Light
After putting them all into the collage then individual adjustments were made (curves, hue, levels, masks where needed, etc.) to get them all to flow well.
I went to take pictures of driftwood but found this rusted area on one of the bridge columns and became more interested in it than the driftwood.
This is where my eye has been lately, spotting all sorts of interesting abstract textures.
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
