Some of the steam pipes end on. A nicely rusted relic from long gone days. Still even in the bush, coming across such things adds to the experience for me. I have an inbuilt curiousity about these old left overs, but if it were a more modern thing dumped there I'd be angry - another hundred years I'd be pleased to see it - Maybe I'm a bit mixed up?

So, rust is cancer to all metal. If you catch it in time, you can remove the small bits of rust, cancer, and treat the metal, eradicating the cancerous rust, leaving the steel strong as was intended. Ignore it and it will destroy even the strongest metal. This is a piece of 1/8” steel I removed from a large section of 1/2” plate. This was the underside of the plate. I saw it and knew immediately what the problem was. You can cover it up and make it look pretty, but the cancer is still there eating up the steel. As I informed my customer, that piece and others like it, cannot be recovered. It’s beyond hope and will need to be replaced with new steel.
A pair of cabooses (cabeese? What was our consensus) and a boxcar sit behind an industry in West Duluth, basically disconnected from the rail network. As far as I know, these are owned by the Lake Superior & Mississippi Railroad.
Ik hou enorm van het stadsleven. Er is altijd beweging, altijd iets te doen. Heerlijk!
Toch kan ik ook genieten van rust. Meer zelfs: ik heb het regelmatig echt nodig. Daar moet je tijd voor maken, maar soms niet eens zoveel als je denkt.
Deze foto nam ik tussen Deurne en Mortsel. Niet eens zo...

Stopped off at a historical site called Britannia Mines on the way back to Vancouver from Whistler Mountain. The weather cooperated and the late afternoon sunshine brought out the redness in the various rusted machinery on the site. My only regret was I had my Panasonic FZ1000 with me instead of my Canon 5D MK II kit.

An old bridge across the Green River in Tukwila, WA. This is shot from the West side of the river near the Green River Trail. Hat tip to Listorama for showing us this bridge www.flickr.com/photos/listorama/9337535968/in/faves-joesc...
We can measure, we can test it,
We can halt it or arrest it.
We can gather it and weigh it,
We can coat it, we can spray it.
We examine and dissect it,
We cathodically protect it
We can pick it up and drop it.
But heaven knows we'll never stop it!
So here's to rust, no doubt about it,
Most of us would starve without it.
I couldn't figure out what it was. Old wood I think, large 1.5 foot x 1.5 foot kind of lumber making a 4 foot x 5 foot (ish) platform that was about 3 feet tall. On top there was the steel sheet bolted to the wood. One on each side. On each corner there was a steel loop bolted to the steel and one ring of a chain in the loop. Except for one loop that was broken. On the beach, the ocean in the background.
Anyway. I liked the color of the rust with the soft evening light.
It was a great day to be out ...cool but not bad. Wind calm.
