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
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 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.

For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: “Rust".
HMM!!!
♥ 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.
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!
They are shot on an old tin that I keep as a background for shots like this.
HMM!
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.
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.
