Not my normal genre of photography, but came across this coastal railing, unloved and in dire need of a good refurb. The railing/s are over a hundred years old, and will be a shame if they don't get some TLC pretty damned quick...
Cedar apple rust (pathogen: Gymnosporangium juniperi-virginianae). The fungus alternates between Eastern red cedar (Juniperus virginiana) and mostly apple and crabapple. One of several fungi that complete the life cycle on two plant hosts; one in the cypress family and one in the rose family. With moist weather, these gaudy bright orange masses of gelatinous spores develop from galls, and galls swell to several times their original size. Spore masses are several inches in diameter, with a central core and radiating hornlike tendrils, and are highly visible during moist weather in mid-spring. Spores produced on the juniper host are blown during moist weather to the rosaceous hosts in mid-spring at a time when new growth has emerged. The fungus then causes leaf spots on upper leaf surfaces and while growing in the leaf two strains of the fungus mate and emerge as a new spore form on the lower leaf surface. These spores are then blown back to junipers in mid summer to fall, develop galled areas on the junipers over a one and a half year period and the cycle begins again. Windborne spread of spores between the hosts of several hundred yards is not unusual and spread can be a matter of miles.
These gelatinous globs were about 3-4 inches diameter and were all over trees near the Rhode Island coast.

The inner partition windows in the main shop are painted in metallic paint. These aren't the ones that face out, but ones between offices and rooms.
This metallic paint is RUSTING! I think I cheered out loud when I found this.
This is over 60 years old and hasn't rusted - stainless steel. Check out the stamp in the metal at ~6 o'clock. The tags give you an idea of it's identity.

Taken using the Minolta 35-105mm Lens. I love the rust and peeling paint with the different fading colors and textures. I just wonder how many years this truck was ran and was a useful piece of equipment. How much money did the owner pay for it and then make with it. Why did it end up in Jasper? This photo is from the old B-75 Mack Truck.

Disued Rail on a Siding which used to be used for a Tourist Railway. This is located near the Blast Furnace Park.
The objective was simple. Find rust wherever it's hiding, and SHOOT IT!
This old, broken and rusty bench was just there in open space. Poor thing didn't even try to hide. BANG! BANG!! BANG!!!
