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 photo was taken in a old part of the Verkadefabriek, a cultural centre in Den Bosch. Where there are theatre, cinema and restaurants. In the past it was a cookiefactory! A beautiful place where the old and new come together.
A rust covered piece of farm machinery. Title is a bit of a play on words with our local accent, as coming from south of Birmingham (UK) this is close to the regional pronunciation of 'rusty'!
Was tempted by lots of shiny objects this week, but I seem to have taken a lot of ball bearings, cheese grater, guitar strings, cogs, letterpress type etc, so decided to go for something more textural for my second shot!
Going to be out for most of the day taking shots of old metal planes, will catch up later!

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.
