This image was composed while hiking in the Big Morongo Canyon Preserve in Southern California. The typical hiker - new to the canyon - will be shocked to see this rusted-out car sitting there, in the middle of wild and forbidding terrain.

A local newspaper once profiled the sight, describing a poor post-war Ford lying in the canyon. "Unfortunately it has seen better days. Not only was it pushed off the cliff above, a huge rock fell on it, every piece of trim has been stripped off, and it was used for target practice."

An interesting human element on a walk in wild nature.

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.

This is an iron decoration attached to a single flower vase.

The part shown in the photo is approximately 5 cm in total.

Rural letter boxes are my theme for today. You see, I have a firm belief that people living in rural areas have far too much time on their hands, and this leads to time-wasting and the construction of frivolous letter boxes like the ones posted here today. You will see them along the highways and country roads all over Australia. This rusted tractor is a fine example of a job half done; not a drop of paint to be seen as it rusts way beside a country road. Mind you, a bush fires swept through a week earlier, everything was burned but the letter box.

Just as iron rusts from disuse...

even so does inaction spoil the intellect.

I love to find these small abstract details around old boat yards.

The table is falling to pieces.

I think it's quite pretty.

Delicious rust colours

so beautifully authentic.

Rich and deep

but not for long.

I keep finding new bits

on the deck.

I rubbed some into

a white canvas.

They made a nice

deep red hue.

The start of

something new.

I've also mended a bunch of socks.

Taken for the Macro Mondays theme of "rust" I couldn't believe how hard it would be to find something rusty in my house!
