Hello my amazing Flickr friends !
Today is a red day at Color my World Daily and the theme at Macro Mondays is rust. As a collector and romantic hoarder of anything vintage I’m a rust lover for sure. I find rust irresistible and I have several very rusty items in my collections. I’m always worrying about tetanus (I’m a hypochondriac …) but I love my rusty vintage hooks, nails, screws, keys, bells etc… etc… But I don’t want to rust myself so that is the reason I run and today is my running day !
I wish you all an amazing Monday !! See you later my friends !!
Thank you so much for all your lovely comments / favs/ general support / happy thoughts!! Stay safe and well!! And see you soon on Flickr !!
Everything old and worn and quite sure if I could of gotten closer the seats would be torn.
Happy Truck Thursday!
Sometimes it is not so easy to see past rust. But the mystery here prevails. What is before us is sometimes superficial.
Happy Macro Mondays
This is a small part of an exhibit at Birmingham Museum.
The artwork was done by Donald Rodney (1961- 1998) and titled as "Land of Milk and Honey II" Rodney was born in Birmingham. He used objects in his work to explore aspects of the human experience. His father migrated to Smethwick from the Carribean in the mid 20th century, in search of a better life in the "Land of Milk and Honey" The Vitrine contains coins and milk. They represent the 'sourced' reality many migrants actually experienced. The material he used will deteriorate and change over time.

Found in a junkyard, most of the body was gone. I was fascinated by the rust and strange textures that come with age and neglect. (Yes, I’m talking about the car!) It reminded me of a map, drawn over many years…
I still have a few images from my trip to Lake Tyrell in November 2021.
I did post one of this old grader that sits several kilometers out from the shore of Lake Tyrell. It has been stranded there for almost 30 years, slowly rustling away.
"Rust Never Sleeps" is of course the title from Neil Young's Classic album Some consider the term to be a metaphor for artistic vitality. E.g. by staying the same, one is vulnerable to the corrosive effects of aging and obsolescence.
That works for me.

Another hard job for my little tiny helpers. Someone came up with the idea to repair and unlock those old rusty nuts and bolts. Not even thinking about how tough this gets for my little workers. But once more...they give their best on it :)

Believe it or not I do have a rust pot of rusted items especially for challenges like this! I used the oxidised under side of the glass jar in the background to create the orange hue.

I'm always looking for photo opportunities when I'm exploring. Sometimes I'll see something unique posted on Facebook or Google Earth and try to find it. Other times I'll just drive aimlessly down roads I've never traveled before. This was one of those unexpected finds. Nested between a couple different farms was this old truck in a field that was far from the road. Based on its condition, I imagine that it was put out to pasture many years ago. May it rust in peace!

Lightship 'North Carr' moored in City Quay, Dundee, Scotland. It was saved from being scrapped by the charity Tay Maritime Action (Taymara) in 2010, having been purchased for £1, but funds have yet to be raised for a full restoration.

night,
Old age should burn and rave at
close of day:
Rage, rage against the dying of the

There are times when I wish I had photoshop, so I could get rid of this car. The background is fine...a nice boat, a sports car and even the weeds look pretty good.
Again, I don’t know what car this is? I know someone will though.
Apparently this is another Jensen. In my defense, it looks nothing like the other little blue sports car convertible with the exhaust in the back seat.
The consensus is that it is a 1975 or 1976 Jensen GT
For Macro Mondays theme: Rust
I went for a walk and found this fire bowl in a beer garden.
I was fascinated how beautiful rust could be.
Enjoy and have a wonderful week !
