This photo was taken in the woods around my parents' farm. According to my father, this old bicycle has always been lying here, in the middle of the forest - even back when he was a kid (we're talking around 60 years here).
I wonder what happened to the owner? And how in the world the bike ended up here! It is not exactly a bicycle friendly place.
Oh I know, I'm so creative!
You can see a little cobweb in the top right part if you view large on black.
Well of course you can see it even if you don't...but you can see it BETTER on black. ;)
There was once a dock, a dock in which boats came to rest. It's a mystery, where it went, why it went, and what happened to it. But, you can't question it. No. You have no right. You can only enjoy it's beauty, what's left. Rust, wood, and stone. Where the water meets decay, history makes itself known.
"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.

I have written much on your streams or email because we get in so late from travel and get on the road early before the heat but rest assured of my thoughts, prayers, and love.

As you can see the rust is on the rear wheel arch section close to the bumper corner. This customer called www.carbodyrepairs4less.co.uk for an estimate.
