Prompt: Rust-colored abstract painting background with bright strokes and lines, in the foreground, an airbrush illustration representing a colorful vintage watering can surrounded by multicolored flowers with a robin on the handle. The whole is realistic with meticulous and complex details, harmonious and shimmering colors.

quietly rusting away, steel is but a temporary state, it comes from the earth and to the earth it will return
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.

An old, abandoned motorcycle rusting in the humid Hawaiian climate. It was pouring rain, but I had to get this shot. I rushed out and set my aperture, focused and composed the shot, hoping it would turn out. Thankfully, it did. I knew the bright sky would throw off the light meter, so I made a quick estimate and set the appropriate aperture. Gotta love the sunny 16 rule.
