The metallic landscape in Rankin, Pa. -- Carrie Furnaces.
The two blast furnaces still standing here were built in 1907 and shut down in 1978. They were part of a complex of seven that ran around the clock 365 days a year, producing iron for the area steel mills.
It’s now a National Historic Landmark.

The old rusted truck that lives in the Distillery District and a bright red Ferrari parked nearby.

As I sit at the top of the city and look down, I see the old and decrepit the world has discarded. I wonder why we look away repulsed at the ones who built the world we live in. When they pass from this earth, only then do we miss them and rejoice there life. They will never know.

Some rust and a strange life form living on an old tractor at the Agriculture Heritage Museum in Boerne, Texas.
I've actually seen this rusting rig from Edinburgh on clearer days, but when I was over at Burntisland last week I could take a closer picture as it is moored, rusting, in the Firth of Forth by the Fife coastline, and been there for a while. I don't know if it is being decommissioned (there are some small harbours and commercial marine companies nearby) or if it is just mothballed temporarily until the oil price goes back up (the huge drop has played havoc with the oil business in the North Sea, quite a lot of rig support vessels tied up for long periods in the harbours at the moment)
Last December I was standing on the far end of a long train platform I rarely use as the afternoon sunlight raked across old steel plates that had been placed there many years ago, probably as a "temporary" repair. It was chilly and a stiff breeze would blow past every now and then as I looked out across the rails waiting for the train to pull in. That afternoon sun felt good on my face, even in its end of year weakened state, and it gave me another gift - it brought those steel plates, and their layers of rust, to life.
Way back in 1979 Neil Young released an incredible album titled, "Rust Never Sleeps" and I found this bit about the meaning of that title on thrasherswheat.org and connected with it...
"Some consider the term to be a metaphor for artistic vitality. In other words, by staying the same, one is vulnerable to the corrosive effects of aging and obsolescence. By moving forward and innovating, one can try and stay ahead of the relentless onslaught of time, remain vital and "rust free.'"

This is part of what it looks like a steam boiler. It must have been use as portable mechanical power used in logging back in the day.
They were all just so decayed and rusted out. It was awesome to see them, and feel them, and smell them. MMnnn rusty
This rusted door is on an old Ford Econoline Van--it looks like it hasn't moved in over 15 years! This rusted van sits in a boatyard in Annapolis. The tires are flat, the seats are rotted, and oxidation is taking over its exterior. The patterns of rust appear to be where people would have touched it regularly--above the door handle and near the cover for the door key.
Since the introduction of its 1961 model in the year 1960, the Ford Econoline Van has gained a good reputation for its spacious interiors and hauling power. It is certainly an American classic.

Fifth in the “Rust” series. Again the focus is on the colours and textures associated with rusting metal.
