Old railway bridge on the Southwell Trail getting a make over with rust patches prepared for painting....
Parked at RUST'S Flying Service at the Lake Hood Seaplane Base in Anchorage, Alaska in 2002. Ski equipped.
RUST'S still owns this aircraft, although it has apparently been re-painted.

Rust
Unexplained,
the old shed stands
in the middle of nowhere,
surrounded by bog and marsh,
with swooping, twittering swallows,
and a snipe drumming in the distance.
The collapsing walls
present an array of earth tones,
a masterpiece of rust and corrosion.
Textured by decay,
the corrugations stripe their canvas
with colour and form,
composition perfected
by the exact positioning of nut and bolt,
and the irregular piercings
of ultimate decrepitude.
Within,
the wooden joists
are a man-trap for the unwary,
damply dissolving into green rot,
lit fleetingly by glimmerings of sky.
Take any piece, cut the metal free
from its surroundings,
a few inches square perhaps,
or a foot or two,
or three metres by four,
find fractal-fashioned patterns:
abstract art fit for a trendy gallery:
a far cry from snagged sheep’s wool,
the calling curlew
and the blowing rush.

Corrugated tin shed beside the A859 main road at Ardhasaig, Isle of Harris. Not sure what this was used for originally - it still has the remnants of a mains power connection attached to the top of the near gable end.

Chains & rust.

Stopped off at a historical site called Britannia Mines on the way back to Vancouver from Whistler Mountain. The weather cooperated and the late afternoon sunshine brought out the redness in the various rusted machinery on the site. My only regret was I had my Panasonic FZ1000 with me instead of my Canon 5D MK II kit.

This enormous fishing vessel has been abandoned to the elements at a jetty in Letterfrack, Connemara. The hull is rusted through in places and full of water; it will never sail again. The story is repeated at piers up and down the region, but few of the boats which have been abandoned are quite so large (or so dramatically coloured).
