Jaguars Rust in Peace

An old rusted school bus found around Corona, New Mexico. During a trip to El Paso Texas.

My car is limping, Dolores Haze,

And the last long lap is the hardest,

And I shall be dumped where the weed decays,

And the rest is rust and stardust.

Get Back

I don't know why, but this old Jeep grabbed my attention -- something about the classic design combined with the rust and yes, the slight dent in the front bumper. A little worse for wear, but hopefully I'll look as good when I have a few more miles! :-)

More rust down on the Fox River.

I see a jack-o-lantern face in this - What do you see?

Lovely texture!

Leave a link or a small sample of your work in my comments, thank you!

I see a real beauty in rust, as time eats away at metal, transforming it slowly but surely into nothingness.

love the abstract value here, its feels like that new york modern movement of the early 80s.

Rust is a lifeform, but one that brings death.

Rust on the steel sheet

It’s a beautiful day in NYC today. I’ve got the day off and I spent a little time in the backyard just enjoying the weather. This shot was taken while relaxing out back.

I loved the pattern in this old rusted metal barn.

My rust-removal tub. A modified computer power supply that I use as a 12v DC regulated power supply and a tub of sodium bicarbonate solution. Connect the rusty part to (-) and connect a piece of steel to (+), turn on the power and watch it fizz.

Old metal wagon wheel in my front yard.

A sixties Chevy pickup with all it's paint sanded off.

How long before the rust sets in for real.

World War II Ammunition Magazine, Wong Nai Chung Gap Historical Trail

Brief History: In the 1930s, the British army began installing defense structures at the gap in preparation for possible attacks by the Japanese army. On 8th December 1941, the Battle of Hong Kong started; the Japanese landed at North Point on Hong Kong Island on 18th December, and reached Wong Nai Chung Gap on 19th December. Canadian and Hong Kong troops defended the passage and Wong Nai Chung Reservoir, with more than 600 Japanese soldiers injured or killed. The gap fell to the Japanese on 19th December, followed by Mount Nicholson and Repulse Bay the next day.
