These are growning up out of the mulch around our house. I almost missed them. We've had an abundance of all kinds of mushrooms this fall.
365 Days in Color, rust #10

These monopoles are approximately 40-45 years old. Their nearly century-old neighboring lattice tower has withstood the elements much better than this younger replacement for one set of the lattice towers.
NOTE...most of the right-of-way does not carry lines on the lowest tier, only the top three plus the shield wire.
These originate from the coal-fired steam generation plant in Kenosha, WI and the now de-commissioned Zion Nuclear Power Plant and terminate just south of Golf Road in Skokie, IL.
Spectacular rusting turned this rather odd but otherwise innocuous billboard - advertising a gym - into something altogether different. What really startled me was that this billboard stayed in place on a derelict parking lot for years without anyone seeming to notice. The, er, appendage, just kept on lengthening! In Kyoto, Japan.
There are big airstrips all over the Bahamas that were, I was told, built by the US Army for, well, just in case. It looks like one of the bulldozers used to make the Governor's Harbour airstrip on Eleuthera was just driven off the end of the runway. Was this an attempted burial at sea? Did some enlisted man go on a bender and do some drunk driving? Did a hurricane give this beast a PUSH over the edge?
I wonder...
Note to those @ The Altar of Junk:
I'm offering these up here, not because my photography is any damn good (and hell, not only was this taken with a point & shoot, but also an underwater one and we were swimming for about four hours and had popped up on the beach to stretch some different muscles, so there was salt water dried on the lens)
... but I'm posting these here because, well, mah junk is worthy. This rusted-out bulldozer is fabulous! It transcends my amateur snapshot presentation.
Luckily the rust was not too bad, but there were some isolated pin holes that were still surrounded by thick strong metal. These will need patching and POR15 will be applied afterwards to the entire rusted areas.
Taking a photo walk around San Angelo, we spotted this old rusted down truck. It was missing a lot of parts including some tires. Majority of the body was intact though. While others were taking pictures of the whole truck, I thought it would be better to focus on the actual rust of the truck. It just seemed to tell a different story then the whole truck. The colors that this rust makes just shows how much time this old truck has seen.
