Rust oxidizes with a wonderful display of colour in Africa! If you have any suggestions for a better name, please feel free to let me know as I welcome the input! Thanks! :)
Just spent £450 getting various rust removed from my Rover 214 SEi. This was the worst bit and was cut away and replaced.
Following this, the rear arches were treated to plenty of underseal as were the sills.
It's now looking pretty good - not bad for a 14 year old car.
A pile of rust flakes on the step beneath one of the doors on condemned Class 117 DMS 51411. Aylesbury, 11th September 2009.

Catalog title: Rust Monster
Catalog #: 5612
Base marking: TSR ©1984
Release date: 1984
Sculptor: ?
Painter: Spooktalker
Date painted: 2011
Notes: This is one of the better figures in the TSR line and one of my favorite rust monsters as it's pretty cute and hews close to the Monster Manual illustration. The green, chipped "paint" on the shield is actually an ultra thin layer of Sculptamold paper mache/plaster combo. I'm really happy with the pink/red eyes. A gloss coat gives them a bit of realism/emotion. I tried green, glowing eyes at first and that was a no go.
Looking over towards Ohio. It's almost hard to believe that no cars have driven across this in almost twenty years. Note the homemade speed limit signs.
The Bellaire Bridge connects Benwood, WV with Bellaire, OH. It was built in 1926 and remained a privately-owned enterprise until its closure in 1991. The bridge stopped being profitable during the 70s and 80s, after free bridges were constructed nearby, as well as the sharp decline in heavy industry. When the State of Ohio decided to widen Highway 7, they demolished the Ohio ramps to the bridge, leaving the now dead-end bridge dangling over the town of Bellaire; the West Virginia side of the bridge remains connected to the 250 Freeway.
Despite its historical significance--it is apparently one of the few remaining cantilever truss bridges--the current owner of the bridge has let it decline to a near-collapsing state. The Coast Guard has ordered its demolition, but nothing has happened since that order was issued a few years ago. It is likely that this bridge will stand until a major part collapses and demolition becomes more of a necessity.
It was briefly featured in the movie Silence of the Lambs.

This is one of the photos that was on the SD card that was lost in the washing machine for several months.
Jim (active metabolite) suggested I explore this rusted out car ... thanks!
I heard a bit more of the story from a fellow dog walker. Apparently it was a stolen car, dumped about six months ago in the bush. The council moved it to where it is now (still in the bush, but near a track it could be towed away from). About a week later, it was torched. It's still not been taken away. To me, it's become a bit of a feature on this particular walk, and I'd miss it!
