I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust, and when sometimes I have stolen forth for a walk at the eleventh hour or four o’clock in the afternoon, too late to redeem the day, when the shades of night were already beginning to be mingled with the daylight, have felt as if I had committed some sin to be atoned for,—I confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbours who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, ay, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of—sitting there now at three o’clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o’clock in the morning. Bonaparte may talk of the three-o’clock-in-the-morning courage, but it is nothing to the courage which can sit down cheerfully at this hour in the afternoon over against one’s self whom you have known all the morning, to starve out a garrison to whom you are bound by such strong ties of sympathy. I wonder that about this time, or say between four and five o’clock in the afternoon, too late for the morning papers and too early for the evening ones, there is not a general explosion heard up and down the street, scattering a legion of antiquated and housebred notions and whims to the four winds for an airing—and so the evil cure itself.

Feel free to use these for whatever, provided you link back to where they came from. Also if you could show me the results that would be ace, because I'm nosy like that.

I have a question.

Does these cracks looks unnatural?

If so, which part could be improved?

Thanks. =)

p.s. if someone could recommend resources about effective techniques of work with textures I would be thankful )

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

In Rust, the town of storks

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 :)

I think this may look better in the bigger size?

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

Rusted yellow iron sheet

I was really drawn to the coloration & cracking here. Sometimes the simplest things are interesting in their own way.
