Rust & Nature

View On Black

The original La Grande Hermine (or Big Weasel) was sailed up the St. Lawrence River by Jacque Cartier in 1535. A replica of the vessel was made as a tour boat in the 1960's in Quebec City. The replica was sold to a young entrepreneur with dreams of making it just the thing to bring hungry visitors to his harbour side restaurant. The tour boat was sailed up the St. Lawrence from Quebec City in the late 1990s, then intentionally moored (anchored) and listed (leaning) to the harbour floor. The harbour side restaurant never did get built, as the entrepreneur went bankrupt shortly afterwards.

Arsonists finished off the floating restaurant in the early 2000's, leaving a slowly rusting hulk on the Lake Ontario shoreline.

Makarora, South Island.

Last rusting place.

Rust Monster

Though it is known by many names among many tongues, it is most commonly referred to as the rust monster. It does not kill its victims out of savage ferocity, but rather as a means to an end. The large bug-like creatures are rather dull; however, many have learned that it is far easier to a feed upon the savory metal weapons and armor of a deceased victim rather than to waste energy fighting them. Perhaps if this aspiring Knight-errant had kept his wits about him, he would have realized his great fortune that he was fallen upon by only a young specimen.

3. Find a very rusty item and fill the frame with it – Nancy & Ruth ––

one of the big green dump bin at the marina has most of the paint scratched off where the fork of the lift-truck scrapes the sides and now the rust is taking over. Makes great patterns and colour combination

Low winter sun highlights the rusting decay on this forlorn shipwreck on the banks of the River Wyre near Fleetwood.

Lofoten at its best!!! There were extraordinary rust patterns on this tank, somewhere between an exploding star and a meteor shower.
