Taken with the 18-55mm AF-S nikkor kit lens. Lovely rust.

That statement is so true, and doubly so for photographers, I think. A couple of years ago, I would have walked across this bridge in downtown Austin, paying absolutely no attention to the rusty railing. Now I find myself looking at everything "through the lens", whether I have my camera with me or not. Photography has caused me to slow down, look at everything and see what was never visible to me before. It really has opened up my eyes. Plus it's great fun!

Iron getting old, perhaps from 1930. When the whale station there was used last time.

These will have to do until I can get closer, which may or may not involve the hopping of fences, and/or running from dogs...

This rusty old truck, an old International Harvester, has been sitting in this exact spot since long before we moved here 15 years ago and shows no indication of being moved anytime soon. It used to be blue, but the rust is winning.

Detail view of the garden fireplace. Too hot fire destroyed the varnish and left the sheer metal. After a few weeks most of the fireplace ist rusted from the rain.

Rust Never Sleeps.

In this yard are numerous other trucks, carriages & heavy machinery. A popular photo scene for weddings, especially amongst the railway carriages.

Sometimes I find the texture of rust to be quite fascinating,

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.
