A funny piece or art made of many different pieces of rusty materials.

Hinged, connected - and the bond of connection can rust and dissolve.

I was desperate to get out of the house on Sunday morning. The weather forecast was awful. Apparently four inches of rain had already fallen on much of the UK in the last 24 hours, and it was still pouring. I didn't care. I wanted fresh air: sea air. I was going no matter what. Two hours driving, 120 miles in the dark, through the rain. To make things worse, by the time I arrived it was gusting 40 mph winds too. Not alot but enough to make it even more unpleasant. I sat in the car for a while wondering what I could do. Eventually I steeled myself and decided to confront the weather. It wasn't nice outside and i plodded along the beach to the other end until I reached this old water outflow to the sea. I stood behind it for half an hour, to try to get some shelter, although the rain was blowing over my head. Eventually I turned my camera towards it to capture the wonderful rust, wet with rain. Behind is St Cwyfan's, the Church in the Sea. I didn't stay until the sea had completely surrounded it.

I like a bit of rust.

This photo was taken in Båstnäs, Sweden. This is a car graveyard where cars have been decaying for centuries in the middle of the woods. This is a heaven for a photographer. Here you can see hundreds of old, rusty cars piled on top of each other with old moss growing all over the place and trees both surrounding and penetrating the cars.

Thank you for visiting!

I am spent

Another one ticked off my bucket list: the wrecked Plassey on Inis Oirr. I'm sure I'll be coming back here later on with more gear to shoot it again.

This is a photo of rust blisters and streaming rust stains on the side of a metal tank. I love their rather alien and marine quality.

Have a nice week.

I wandered up over the brow of a gravelly track, not realising it was a front drive. The white haired woman (Fiona McTaggerty Taggert, without beards) met me as she stepped out of her elderly Hyundai. She explained the rusty old truck was her son's. He's now 50 if she remembers rightly and he bought it to do up one day. Somehow that day seems to have slipped by and his dreams of a restored old truck lie rotting away in an out of sight quarry behind the Tioram cafe. She explained some vandals got to it and smashed it up. I imagine it was pristine before that
