"You say these days are made of rust
Counted out
Counted out in loss
I've got plans to prove them wrong"

Happy Bokeh Wednesday, everyone!
Landschaftspark Duisburg 13.
The Landschaftspark is a public park in the German city of Duisburg. The center of the park is formed by the ruin of a blast-furnace complex shut down in 1985.

"And the rest is rust and stardust."
Vladimir Nabokov
There is much to appreciate what time wears away. We should also remember to apply that thought to our fellow human beings.
The rails of the former Monon just south of Campbellsburg, Indiana sit rusting away in the warm sun.

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."
“and in the end it all just turns to rust and dust”
This photo was taken in Båstnäs, Sweden. This is a car graveyard where cars have been decaying for centuries in the middle of the woods. This is a heaven for a photographer. Here you can see hundreds of old, rusty cars piled on top of each other with old moss growing all over the place and trees both surrounding and penetrating the cars.
Thank you for visiting!

♥ Thank you very much for your visits, faves, and kind comments ♥
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.
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
This is a B&W photo of rust stains on the side of a furnace oil tank that suggest strange marine lifeforms.
Dunnock / prunella modularis. Private site, Derbyshire. 11/09/15.
This bird spends much of its time creeping about in one of the large empty buildings where it seems to have sourced an endless supply of spiders and small insects. It has a 'love - hate relationship' with a feisty Robin who also shares this space.
Occasionally the birds will emerge to keep tracks of the bigger picture and find other foods. Fascinating to watch their antics and skirmishes.
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.
