Just love rusty old fences (even though this one isn't that old).
I'm taking a break for a while but I'm sure I'll be back before long.

YOUR COMMENT IS THE GREATEST "AWARD" YOU COULD GIVE -- No graphics please.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY COMMENTS!!!
I neighbor on my street has a nicely tended grassy circle where he honors quite a few old rusty equipment. He obviously cares about them a lot. This is the largest of them. 2 more pix below.

As I snapped this shot, I imagined the amount of noise that would've been occurring while in production. To stand there listening, and not hearing a sound from all these machines is mind blowing.

Carla Rust (1908-1977) was a blonde German film actress. She appeared as a leading lady in a number of light entertainment films during the Nazi era. She was married to the actor Sepp Rist.
Carla Rust was born in Burgdamm near Bremen, Germany, in 1908. The blonde actress appeared on stage from 1928. She started her film career with small roles in such films as the drama Nur nicht weich werden, Susanne!/Don't Lose Heart, Suzanne! (Arzén von Cserépy, 1935) starring Jessie Vihrog and Veit Harlan, and the musical drama Ein Lied klagt an/The Accusing Song (Georg Zoch, 1936) with Louis Graveure and Gina Falckenberg. She had a supporting part in the Gustave Flaubert adaptation Madame Bovary (Gerhard Lamprecht, 1937) starring Pola Negri. Rust played the central role in the musical revue Es leuchten die Sterne/The Stars Shine (Hans H. Zerlett, 1938). She was a young secretary who travels to Berlin to seek work as an actress. In a comedy of errors, she is mistaken for a famous dancer, which results in her heading the cast of a star-studded musical in Busby Berkeley-style. The plot was a backdrop for this musical revue film, set as a musical set inside a film studio. Rust headed a cast which included many German stage, sports, and Tobis film stars of the 1930s. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister had commissioned the film to act as a propaganda piece promoting the Third Reich as a cultural entity.
Carla Rust co-starred with mountain film star Luis Trenker in the romantic comedy Liebesbriefe aus dem Engadin/Love Letters from Engadin or Love Letters from the Engadine (Luis Trenker, Werner Klingler, 1939), set in London and in the Engadin valley in the Swiss Alps, where much of the location shooting took place. She then costarred with Italian tenor Beniamino Gigli in the Italian comedy Marionette (Carmine Gallone, 1939). Then followed the German musical comedy Robert und Bertram/Robert and Bertram ( Hans Heinz Zerlett, 1939) with Rudi Godden and Kurt Seifert. It was based on the 1856 play Robert and Bertram by Gustav Räder about two wandering vagrants, and it was the only anti-semitic musical comedy released during the Nazi era and the first film since Kristallnacht to focus on Jews as cultural and economic outsiders. In 1943, she appeared opposite Anny Ondra in Himmel, wir erben ein Schloß/Heaven, We Inherit a Castle (Peter Paul Brauer, 1943). It was Ondra's last starring role, and the film was shot in German-occupied Prague, Ondra's hometown, by the Prag-Film company. After the war, the film engagements halted. During the 1950s, Carla Rust returned in small parts in West-German productions like the romantic drama Die schöne Müllerin/The Beautiful Miller (Wolfgang Liebeneiner, 1954) starring Waltraut Haas and Gerhard Riedmann, the drama Oberarzt Dr. Solm/Doctor Solm (Paul May, 1955) featuring Hans Söhnker, and the comedy Heute heiratet mein Mann/My Husband's Getting Married Today (Kurt Hoffmann, 1956) starring Liselotte Pulver and Johannes Heesters. After Der Adler vom Velsatal/The Eagle of Velsa Valley (Richard Häussler, 1957), she retired from the film business. Carla Rust passed away in 1977 in Hindelang, Bavaria, West Germany. She was 69.

Many of he "Rust Fungi"have characteristic rust- coloured or yellow spores that are produced in specialized structures that are visible to the naked eye, This image shows the spore producing structures on a leaf. I believe that this is either the aecial or uredinal phase of the
(very complex) life cycle.
I have never seen a sea as blue as in Crete. The many nuances of the water, the way it finally blends with the sky is an hypnotic view. I couldn't stop looking at it and thinking of how many more adventures are waiting for me.
I took this whilst on the way to a meeting in Manchester. The weird angles of the building combined with the rusting textures and colours to create an irresitible subject.
This is the Jack Ellis Grocery Store. In the 1970's, and article in the Atlanta Journal Constitution stated that this place was an "Old-time grocery store at Grovania has about everything." Outside of this, there was not much I could find on the history of this place.
For a photo from 1972 of the inside of this historic place:
It appears there was a bit of a tussle that went on here back in 1944:
a rush through the rusted veins
illuminate the face of one
so i have a light
so unaware about the consequence
i heard no warning
about the little compromise
the distorted views you had
cold white spring
a wordless song i sing
eye
white cloud
all my thoughts are in doubt

A rusted Melbourne tram no longer used on the Waterfront Streetcar. I don't know the story behind this one.

I visited my friend's garden yesterday and found this sculpture of a sailboat covered with rust. She remembered when it was shiny, I liked the look of the rust!
The colors in the rust seem to blend with the flowers and plants in the background.

This large and ancient metal lathe is located in Lookout, California, in Lassen County, Big Valley. This is in the boonies of Northern CA.
The label reads:
The Muller Lathe
Built by
The Bradford Mill Co.
Cincinatti, Ohio
USA
The size is as follows, roughly measured:
Swing over bed: 20"
Swing over carriage: unknown
Four-jaw chuck diameter: 18"
Bed length: 12 feet
Bed width, center to center across the outer two ways: 16”
Maximum workpiece length, center to center: 8 feet
It may have been built in the 1886-1901 era, from what I've learned so far.
It is owned by a fine older gentleman named Willie. He owns a LARGE property full of old tractors, cars, trucks, bulldozers and vehicles of varied and sundry description. My girlfriend Zoe bought a 1955 Carpenter (1954 GMC based) school bus from him, and he towed it the 17 miles to our Ranch with his old tractor on public roads:

Photos of the bus can be seen in another set of mine:

Willie also renovates and runs old steam engines. His tools are basic and in, umm, often less than pretty condition.
I believe he told me that despite its condition, having been outside for many years, this lathe was still in occasional use, wonder of wonders. I expect that it could be restored to its former glory by a man willing and able to put a LOT of time and/or money into it. I plan to list it for sale soon, online. If nothing else, it makes a magnificent lawn ornament.
Almost all of the images in this set were 3-exp HDRs, processed with Photomatix. The camera was a Nikon D50.
