Another shot from Dungeness. Initially I posted around 5 of 100 or so shots taken at that time and promptly forgot about them. My personal challenge is to go through all those 'awkward' photographs from my visit and post them.
In this connection, I have been overwhelmed by the interest and encouragement from Flickr friends old and new.
To date, two of my Dungeness shots have been invited into the Flickr Group, "Ugly Places all over the world” and I'm wondering whether this rusty container wagon will get an invite?
"Dungeness is quite unique, the power station dominates the skyline, but the area is strangely fascinating with its quirky buildings and converted railway carriages. It is shingle beach and debris from the fishing boats is evident. The bleakness has its own attraction. The otherwise flat and exposed landscape is punctuated by two lighthouses."

Thank you all for your visit comments and faves much appreciated!
Stay Well Friends!
I wandered up over the brow of a gravelly track, not realising it was a front drive. The white haired woman (Fiona McTaggerty Taggert, without beards) met me as she stepped out of her elderly Hyundai. She explained the rusty old truck was her son's. He's now 50 if she remembers rightly and he bought it to do up one day. Somehow that day seems to have slipped by and his dreams of a restored old truck lie rotting away in an out of sight quarry behind the Tioram cafe. She explained some vandals got to it and smashed it up. I imagine it was pristine before that
Another one ticked off my bucket list: the wrecked Plassey on Inis Oirr. I'm sure I'll be coming back here later on with more gear to shoot it again.
This is a photo of rust blisters and streaming rust stains on the side of a metal tank. I love their rather alien and marine quality.
Seen better days. I love the crank-turn window handles.
Texture is my own, taken from another old vehicle exterior.

#Rust -- FlickrFriday
The Car -- This is a Plymouth Cranbrook. It was made from 1951 - 1953. I believe this to be a 1951 model but I could be wrong. It sits on a levelled pad at the corner of the road and a driveway, displaying the owner's street address where the license plate once rested.
The Title -- "Rust Never Sleeps" is an album by Neil Young, released in 1979. Neil Young's music was the soundtrack to my teenage years and beyond. This title is like a poem all on its own, with so much meaning tied up in just three words.
This is a close-up photo of patterns of rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach. There is a suggestion in the bluish shape of a pareidolia portrait profile.
This image was composed while hiking in the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve in Southern California. The typical hiker - new to the canyon - will be shocked to see this rusted-out car sitting there, in the middle of wild and forbidding terrain.
A local newspaper once profiled the sight, describing a poor post-war Ford lying in the canyon. "Unfortunately it has seen better days. Not only was it pushed off the cliff above, a huge rock fell on it, every piece of trim has been stripped off, and it was used for target practice."
An interesting human element on a walk in wild nature.
Macro Monday. This week's theme: rust.
Negligence is the rust of the soul, that corrodes through all her best resolves. Owen Feltham
