They should have made it from copper. It would have looked much better with verdigris than this rust.

Found outside of an old, abandoned house.

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.

Rust, more rust and even more rust, at Dungeness.

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 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!

A metal goods container in the car park of the local garage is very worn and weathered as the green paint peels back exposing the rusted metal beneath.

I loved the tones of this old barrel, found in a re-created ghost town at Three Valley Gap, BC.

Modified Ford Product

I was out doing an errand yesterday and came across this old truck. I didn't have my camera with me but I had my phone so I took some pictures with what I had I'm very happy with that I got!

It worked out well that I finally got round to defrosting the subjects of the the “frozen in ice” challenge a few weeks ago and decided to let the ice cube contents go to rust!

HMM!

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.

I am spent

Macro Monday - Rust. The sun highlighted by son's rusty old scooter in the backyard.

Rusty car panel....

I'm sure I looked like a crazy lady. Everyone was enjoying the park and I was squatting down taking photos of the dumpster like it was a crime scene.

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.

I found this in a salvage yard. This was on the side of an old metal drum. Taken with a tripod mounted point and shoot.

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.
