Rusted iron railing with peeling paint Apparently discarded giant birdbath on the grounds of the Knoxville Botanical Garden & Arboretum.
Image created with Bresser Biolux NV microscope and compact camera, 3 images were stacked using photoshop to create a wider depth of field.
Pear rust is a Biotroph fungus which cannot survive on dead plant matter so keeps its host alive. It attacks Pears during the summer but moves to Juniper leaves during the winter as Pears shed their leaves. It needs two hosts in order to survive because of this.
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.

I am posting this photo on my flickr-versary, and this encapsulates the wild and wonderful journey I've had since I first joined this wonderful community.
A year back - I would have never considered this scene a photographic opportunity. A year back - I would have not understood what the term DoF meant or how to achieve the effect in my camera. A year back - I would have never thought of making this shot a B&W one; nor of "toning" it. A year back - I had not yet met the people who would become dear friends and co-adventurers. A year back - I had not joined Flickr.
So thank you - thank you to all of you who have inspired me, corrected me and encouraged me. I hope I have managed to live up (atleast a little bit) to your expectations. A new year awaits! Time to dive in!
PS: Oddly, I hit another landmark recently and hence have been indulging in long, maudlin descriptions. I promise I will be reverting to my usual laconic style from now on.

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.
