Wonderful scrap at the Big Pit.

Rust in November

Today I decided to visit a creek near the railroad track by my house. I enjoy observing things and this rusted bolt on the edge of the track caught my eye. How symbolic!

paint and rust on an old drain pipe

When it rains, rust runs red like blood in the streets ... found near Ravenden, Arkansas.

I really like this one. The photos don't do justice to the colors. All this is on good quality muslin.

some old paint cans that have become full of rust, sitting in my backyard

This was curved around a telephone pole, had to take several shots and stitch them together. Didn't get it quite right, if you look closely.

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.
