The lampposts on the George's Island dock have seen some abuse from sun and sea, and their paint is patchy in places. The pits go pretty deep, creating some rather interesting texture, if one bothers to look closely at them. The contrast of green paint and red rust caught my eye as well, so I had to take a couple of photos.

This is without doubt the worst rust damage I've ever seen on a modern car. This is the sill of a Peugeot 206. The rust extended down virtually the whole length of the join between inner & outer sills, punctuated with holes in places. The area phoographed above was so weak it could quite easily be poked into a large hole with my fingers.
Quite surprised to see this on a French car - they have a good reputation for resisting rust nowadays.
Fee had spotted these old cars where she had been planting pine tree's the week before. I guess if you have the space you can keep anything. They were exposed to all the elements and had definatly been there a while.
