In NZ everything is bigger and better, even the spiders. None of that wussy silk for our spiders. They squirt inch thick steel cables from their spinerets. And the webs are strong enough to catch small planes.
Another view of the rusting FC Model Holden. I put my new HOYA circular polarising filter to good use to capture the blue sky. It's a kind of Australian bush tradition to park your broken down cars in the paddock and let the elements reclaim them.
There was a later model Holden ute parked across the way so the home owners were obviously Holden diehards. I managed to capture some shots of the collapsing house which I will post shortly.

Elizabethtown, New Mexico: Part ghost town, part museum, part garage sale.
I'm not positive about the make of this truck. If you know old trucks, please correct or confirm.
Field workers at Njoro Agricultural Research Station in Kenya sowing wheat seed samples in international trials for screening for resistance to Ug99, the new and virulent strain of stem rust that emerged in Uganda in 1999. The station is part of the Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (KARI), which is working in partnership with CIMMYT to identify sources of resistance. Ug99 is already endemic in the area, making it possible to use Njoro as a testing ground for wheats from all over the world; thousands are planted annually as part of an ongoing screening and breeding effort. In 2008, when this photo was taken, the Njoro team worked with CIMMYT to test over 20,000 wheat lines from more than 15 countries for resistance to Ug99.

I photographed this smashed VW bug on my very first visit to Bombay Beach, probably about 1988. In the span of less than three years it rusted into complete non-existence.

Wet lint inside dryer vents can cause vent walls to rust and eventually create a hole, which causes problems venting air outside the home
This car has been rusting away and decaying for the last odd 30 years... he's resilient though... and still doesn't want to rust properly...
I often think to myself that this is how old people are, they age and they start to get more fragile and frail but refuse to break, till at some point they give up. The they start to decay till there is nothing left and many of them seem to loose the will to live...
Sorry about this dark note. Just my track of mind at the moment.
