This old Adlake lock from the Chicago Milwaukee St. Paul & Pacific railroad has seen better days, but still looks nice in my collection of railroad stuff. I thought this might go well with the latest theme from 7DWF as its both decayed and from a railroad that saw many abandonments before it vanished for good when what was left was absorbed by the SOO Line.
The earthen cliffs above this beach are steadily collapsing, and exposed with erosion is the random buried trash of generations past. No plastic, just metal, dating to a time when rust was king. This tiny radiator weighed way more than I expected, took most my strength to wrench it up and set it standing. All the rocks jammed in by tidal action didn't make things any easier. It's simple to say that last century's garbage is somehow more charming, but it was ditched just the same with no regard for recycling. I'd call this buried treasure, but mostly worthless after the effort to drag it home and scrap it. So I'll let the water do its worst, maybe some aquatic creature can call it home. I'll just call this beauty an ugly curiosity.

Akaroa day one on our two day trip away to escape from the earthquake repair/paint on our house. May 22, 2012.
Akaroa is a village on Banks Peninsula in the Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, situated within a harbour of the same name. The name Akaroa is Kāi Tahu Māori for 'Long Harbour'.
Akaroa is 84km by road from Christchurch and is the terminus of State Highway 75. Set on a beautiful, sheltered harbour and overlooked by craggy volcanic hills, Akaroa is a popular resort village and in summer the temporary population can reach 7,000 which places stress on the summer water supply, which is entirely dependent upon rainfall on the hills.
Many Hector's Dolphins may be found within Akaroa harbour, and 'swim with the dolphins' boat tours are a major tourist attraction.

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.

The dog walk today took me along the railway line which is under restoration. There was a lot of rust from which to choose. This is today's offering for the group. November weather still, dull, drizzly and cold. No sun etc.
A Pontiac "Star Chief" Seen in Choteau,Montana. I would say 1959 or 1960 because it looks similar in size and shape to the Chevrolet of those years.
