"Rust's A Must"

An Ode to Corrosion Scientists Everywhere

(TRB Watson)

Mighty ships upon the ocean

Suffer from severe corrosion,

Even those that stay at dockside

Are rapidly becoming oxide.

Alas, that piling in the sea

Is mostly Fe2O3.

And where the ocean meets the shore,

You'll find there's Fe3O4.

'Cause when the wind is salt and gusty,

Things are getting awful rusty.

We can measure, we can test it,

We can halt it or arrest it.

We can gather it and weigh it,

We can coat it, we can spray it.

We examine and dissect it,

We cathodically protect it

We can pick it up and drop it.

But heaven knows we'll never stop it!

So here's to rust, no doubt about it,

Most of us would starve without it.

This rusty chain was found anchored to the side of one of the landings at old Barry Dock, I thought it looked interesting.

Rusted bars descend from the boulevard into the Ural River, Atyrau, Kazakhstan. The purpose of this fence - I cannot speculate...

Relic or Rust...

Eye Level Point of View. This picture was taken outside of my high school by the football field. I thought the contrast between the rusted garbage and the spray paint went well together. The eye level gives an extra charm to it.
