Colourful patterns of rust on an iron panel on the wharf at Port Maitland Beach.

HMM everyone😁

I am spent

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.

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.

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.

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 Mondays: Rust

Oops. I messed up the original image. Here it is again.

This is an iron decoration attached to a single flower vase.

The part shown in the photo is approximately 5 cm in total.

I took a photo of the rusted part at pedestal.

During my buddy Harvey's recent visit, I gave him a serious dose of historic gold mining sites with a side order of blacksmiths. Harv was continually on the lookout for that elusive 5 lb. gold nugget. Alas, he was sorely out of luck on that count, however he did get a nice exposure to rust. What do you expect from 19th century historical mining sites? More on those blacksmiths later.

Happy May Day everyone.
