Rust-ic item found at Jurustic Park near Marshfield, Wisconsin

I saw this nice door on my holiday in Lesvos. I liked the contrast between the nice turquise colour, the rust, the curves and bokeh in the background :)

Construction activity is stopped for the winter. The treads on this track have a beautiful patina of rust.

Trust me, rusted minds refuse to go...

I saw this in the woods while on a nature hike. I'm not a 'car nut' so if you can help me out, I'd like to know the year and make

The supports below the giant slide slowly rust away, eventually they will not even be able to hold their own weight

Talking a walk on a Californian beach...so what do I take photos of? Rusty bunkers and random stuff washed ashore.

Tall metal girder support part of a bridge. The peeling paint and rust bleeding through is quite pretty.

Here is my rusted kantha piece finished and tacking removed. I took advantage of the low angle of the early morning sun this morning to photograph it outside so that the directional ripple effects caused by the kantha stitches show up well.

I'm pleased with the way this has turned out.. It was soothing to stitch and the close stitching has melded silk, cotton and lace together to form a really nice drapey feel to the piece. It also integrates very nicely into the kind of themes I'm looking at in my ledger at the moment.. Tree bark and the wabi sabi of nature.

Some of the steam pipes end on. A nicely rusted relic from long gone days. Still even in the bush, coming across such things adds to the experience for me. I have an inbuilt curiousity about these old left overs, but if it were a more modern thing dumped there I'd be angry - another hundred years I'd be pleased to see it - Maybe I'm a bit mixed up?

So, rust is cancer to all metal. If you catch it in time, you can remove the small bits of rust, cancer, and treat the metal, eradicating the cancerous rust, leaving the steel strong as was intended. Ignore it and it will destroy even the strongest metal. This is a piece of 1/8” steel I removed from a large section of 1/2” plate. This was the underside of the plate. I saw it and knew immediately what the problem was. You can cover it up and make it look pretty, but the cancer is still there eating up the steel. As I informed my customer, that piece and others like it, cannot be recovered. It’s beyond hope and will need to be replaced with new steel.

At the foot of the parking lot behind my husband's office is a very large steel shed. I've admired the contrast between the fresh young saplings that sprout up along the perimeter and the aging structure. Today the scene was more harmonious as the saplings themselves are turning to rust.

To lend a painterly feel to the scene I flattened the image, added a rust texture layer using luminosity as my blending mode, brought back some structure with a faint line drawing, added a border and finally brought back a bit of contrast. I certainly could have gone the grungy route, but I think a softer touch is more suitable here.
