An old Cletrac tractor sits at the side of the road in rural NJ silently rusting away.
Can anyone identify the model and approximate date?
Rusted and Secure - Another view of the back of apartments in an alley of the Roosevelt Row Arts District. Early morning sun is bright and intense in the July heat. Great pattern, texture and shadow play here.
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 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.

Rust #5

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

As an addition to my entry this week for the Saturday Self Challenge and rust , here is another view of the same footbridge . As you can see the whole bridge is alive with rust , just hope it has not affected the integrity of the structure . People are constantly using the footbridge over the railway line and what with constant vibration every time a train goes through and the rust - just hope it is up to the job.
Would hate to think what would happen if it did fail , not only the collapse but with trains passing underneath and of course the third rail . This area uses a third rail for the supply of electricity to the train .
After this week's challenge I think we all look on rust in a new light !
This is just down the road from my house and I've been wanting to photography it for the last few years. The rust and texture is JUST amazing---note how he has a rust belt?
