In Rust the slow violence of time into a visual storm. Layers of molten orange, scorched crimson, and shadow-black collide in a composition that feels both organic and industrial—like the corroding edge of memory itself.
At first glance, the piece radiates with energy, even aggression. But beneath the turbulence lies quiet entropy: the inevitability of decay, the poetry of wear. This is not destruction for spectacle, but transformation as a condition of being—where beauty oxidizes into something deeper, stranger, and unresolved.
Rust invites us to see erosion not as an end, but as a process. A process that stains, softens, and ultimately reveals what survives beneath the surface.

RUST General Store is an 1860s inspired general store located within the Old Town San Diego, State Historic Park. The products are meant to reflect the history and culture of people living in, and the places trading with San Diego during the American/Transitional time period from 1846-1872.
San Diego old town is the historic heart of San Diego.
Created in 1769, Old Town San Diego marks the site of the first Spanish settlement on the U.S. West Coast and features 12 acres of Mexican heritage and historical sites, colorful shops, early-California-style restaurants, museums, a theater and the restored Cosmopolitan Hotel.
I bought most of these tools over 50 years ago, and many were already well used when I bought them, so they've definitely earned their rust.

Sometimes a rust bucket is just a rust bucket and not a car as we sometimes refer to junkers in America.

At first when I read this week's MM theme was "rust" I headed to the garage to look around. There, I found some rusty antique tools that belonged to my grandfather. Well, I didn't really find them, they are hanging neatly on the wall and I will not clean the rust from them. Although I will never use them, they are probably better quality than the modern tools I use today. Anyway, I contemplated a bit before settling on a rusty level for the image. I took a few shots of the level indoors then decided to go outside and see about a different perspective. I just wasn't feeling those indoor shots.
As usual while outside, I was listening to the songs of my little backyard visitors and hoping that Elvis (red-shouldered hawk) would come for a visit while I was out. It's been a while since I have seen him, but to be fair I had been away for a week. Also I took a mental note that there is a branch in oak two that has grown and offers a nice pathway for a controlled fall by Robbie and company (Gray Squirrels). Of course, I had to take a moment to refill the main bird feeder since Robby and Co. made sure it was empty. Therefore, instead of taking images of the level it was off to garden side for me. Garden side is the East side of the house where I have all of my square foot garden boxes and the storage box that holds the birdseed.
During my little detour to garden side, I saw some rusty two inch file clips that I use to secure shade cloth over the square foot garden beds as needed. I immediately changed my mind about using grandpa's level, this clip has way more rust than the level does and it's pretty perfect when it comes to size for the challenge. This clip has been outside in the weather for a few years now and has earned it's rust.
This image was taken in the backyard, I clipped it to a little swing arm that holds a millet sock when the migratory birds are here. It's almost time, so I'm preparing the feeding station. Robbie was displeased at my choice of locations for shooting, he scurried up oak number one and barked at my intrusion upon his newly accessible treats.
I wrote the information about this picture on the day I took the image well before Irma's arrival. Irma is here now and will be for several more hours. I was planning to stay up all night but now that I know she is heading away from me instead of towards me and the winds should not get any stronger I believe I will go to bed and check on friends and family in the morning. Other than mess around on the computer there isn't anything I can do at this time anyway. I might as well get some sleep so I can help clean up the neighborhood in the morning. Can you believe the newscasters were telling people to trim their trees the day before the storm. People listened, they trimmed trees and placed their palm fronds and oak branches at the curb. I'm not even going to go into why that's all kinds of wrong the day before a hurricane. I'm pretty sure you can all figure that out for yourselves :) Before I go, I have to send out thoughts and prayers to all of those that were and are in Irma's path. I'm thinking of the Florida flickr pals along with friends, family and pretty much all Floridians at this time. Like Texas, we are tough and we will get through this one step at a time.
Goodnight or good morning.
