Many of he "Rust Fungi"have characteristic rust- coloured or yellow spores that are produced in specialized structures that are visible to the naked eye, This image shows the spore producing structures on a leaf. I believe that this is either the aecial or uredinal phase of the
(very complex) life cycle.

Carla Rust (1908-1977) was a blonde German film actress. She appeared as a leading lady in a number of light entertainment films during the Nazi era. She was married to the actor Sepp Rist.
Carla Rust was born in Burgdamm near Bremen, Germany, in 1908. The blonde actress appeared on stage from 1928. She started her film career with small roles in such films as the drama Nur nicht weich werden, Susanne!/Don't Lose Heart, Suzanne! (Arzén von Cserépy, 1935) starring Jessie Vihrog and Veit Harlan, and the musical drama Ein Lied klagt an/The Accusing Song (Georg Zoch, 1936) with Louis Graveure and Gina Falckenberg. She had a supporting part in the Gustave Flaubert adaptation Madame Bovary (Gerhard Lamprecht, 1937) starring Pola Negri. Rust played the central role in the musical revue Es leuchten die Sterne/The Stars Shine (Hans H. Zerlett, 1938). She was a young secretary who travels to Berlin to seek work as an actress. In a comedy of errors, she is mistaken for a famous dancer, which results in her heading the cast of a star-studded musical in Busby Berkeley-style. The plot was a backdrop for this musical revue film, set as a musical set inside a film studio. Rust headed a cast which included many German stage, sports, and Tobis film stars of the 1930s. Joseph Goebbels, the Nazi Propaganda Minister had commissioned the film to act as a propaganda piece promoting the Third Reich as a cultural entity.
Carla Rust co-starred with mountain film star Luis Trenker in the romantic comedy Liebesbriefe aus dem Engadin/Love Letters from Engadin or Love Letters from the Engadine (Luis Trenker, Werner Klingler, 1939), set in London and in the Engadin valley in the Swiss Alps, where much of the location shooting took place. She then costarred with Italian tenor Beniamino Gigli in the Italian comedy Marionette (Carmine Gallone, 1939). Then followed the German musical comedy Robert und Bertram/Robert and Bertram ( Hans Heinz Zerlett, 1939) with Rudi Godden and Kurt Seifert. It was based on the 1856 play Robert and Bertram by Gustav Räder about two wandering vagrants, and it was the only anti-semitic musical comedy released during the Nazi era and the first film since Kristallnacht to focus on Jews as cultural and economic outsiders. In 1943, she appeared opposite Anny Ondra in Himmel, wir erben ein Schloß/Heaven, We Inherit a Castle (Peter Paul Brauer, 1943). It was Ondra's last starring role, and the film was shot in German-occupied Prague, Ondra's hometown, by the Prag-Film company. After the war, the film engagements halted. During the 1950s, Carla Rust returned in small parts in West-German productions like the romantic drama Die schöne Müllerin/The Beautiful Miller (Wolfgang Liebeneiner, 1954) starring Waltraut Haas and Gerhard Riedmann, the drama Oberarzt Dr. Solm/Doctor Solm (Paul May, 1955) featuring Hans Söhnker, and the comedy Heute heiratet mein Mann/My Husband's Getting Married Today (Kurt Hoffmann, 1956) starring Liselotte Pulver and Johannes Heesters. After Der Adler vom Velsatal/The Eagle of Velsa Valley (Richard Häussler, 1957), she retired from the film business. Carla Rust passed away in 1977 in Hindelang, Bavaria, West Germany. She was 69.

Rusting Building, Leadfield. Death Valley National Park, California. April 1, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
A rusting corrugated building, one of the few remaining structures at the ghost town of Leadfield, California
This is one of the few standing structures remaining from the boom town of Leadfield, in the backcountry of Death Valley National Park, in the Grapevine Mountains more or less midway between the Beatty, Nevada area and the main Death Valley. The standard story is that this town was the result of one of the biggest swindles and scams in the mining history of the area, and the story is often told of the main promoter salting the mine with ore brought in from other locations and producing brochures featuring boats on the Amargosa River... which is typically completely dry. In the process of preparing this photograph to share I did a bit of reading, and it seems like the story might not be quite so simple nor so dramatic. Apparently there was a history of prospecting and mining in this area before the town was created in the mid-1920s, and lead and perhaps silver were actually mined from the place. A range of problems led to its downfall—the distance the ore needed to be transported, problems with the sale of shares in the mines—but it may not be true that the mine itself was essentially just a scam.
This building is well-known to those who have visited the place, as it is one of two buildings that still stand. Both are located near the entrance to one of the mine shafts, and it seems likely that this was not a residence but rather some building related to mine operations. Today it is a mere shell, but I find it amazing that it still stands nearly 90 years after the "town" (which apparently consisted largely of tents) was abandoned. Even more amazing is to stand at this spot and look out at the surrounding landscape—a rugged and uncompromising mountainous desert terrain—and imagine what it must have been like to live and work in such a place.

"I were better to be eaten to death with a rust than to be scoured to nothing with perpetual motion."
William Shakespeare
I visited my friend's garden yesterday and found this sculpture of a sailboat covered with rust. She remembered when it was shiny, I liked the look of the rust!
The colors in the rust seem to blend with the flowers and plants in the background.
