A pair of rusty gates in front of a colourful house.

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.

Oops. I messed up the original image. Here it is again.

In the port you can find lots of rust, on ships and piles of scaffolding. This picture I took in the harbour of Helgoland on one of the piles. I love the structures the rust makes on surfaces and creates art in a way.

Thanks for taking time to fave, comment and look at my work. I really appreciate.

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.

Rivers of Steel: Carrie Blast Furnaces National Historic Landmark, Pittsburgh, PA

During my buddy Harvey's recent visit, I gave him a serious dose of historic gold mining sites with a side order of blacksmiths. Harv was continually on the lookout for that elusive 5 lb. gold nugget. Alas, he was sorely out of luck on that count, however he did get a nice exposure to rust. What do you expect from 19th century historical mining sites? More on those blacksmiths later.

Happy May Day everyone.

Je ne sais pas excatement de quel modèle il s'agit...Si un connaisseur peut m'éclairer, c'est avec plaisir.

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

Taken during the beginning of our sea trip. The port has a beautiful view of both the ocean and the mountains far inland. The platform apparently is not being used anymore, but is left there to be exposed to the elements.
