This station track at the Port Huron, Michigan Amtrak station sits alone rusting away and hasn't seen a train on it's rails in at least ten years.

A rotting old dumpster. I wonder if there are people who can "read the lines" in the rust, like palm readers do?
Trying out my new D90 and 35mm lens at Horopito car yard. Loved the contrast between the body and the chrome.
There are big airstrips all over the Bahamas that were, I was told, built by the US Army for, well, just in case. It looks like one of the bulldozers used to make the Governor's Harbour airstrip on Eleuthera was just driven off the end of the runway. Was this an attempted burial at sea? Did some enlisted man go on a bender and do some drunk driving? Did a hurricane give this beast a PUSH over the edge?
I wonder...
Note to those @ The Altar of Junk:
I'm offering these up here, not because my photography is any damn good (and hell, not only was this taken with a point & shoot, but also an underwater one and we were swimming for about four hours and had popped up on the beach to stretch some different muscles, so there was salt water dried on the lens)
... but I'm posting these here because, well, mah junk is worthy. This rusted-out bulldozer is fabulous! It transcends my amateur snapshot presentation.
A swing is a hanging seat, usually found in a playground for children, a circus for acrobats, or on a porch for relaxing. The seat of a swing may be suspended from chains or ropes. Once a swing is in motion it continues to oscillate like a pendulum until external interference or drag brings it to a halt. Swing sets are very popular amongst children.
On playgrounds, several swings are often suspended from the same metal or wooden frame, known as a swing set, allowing more than one child to play at a time. Such swings come in a variety of sizes and shapes. For infants and toddlers, swings with leg holes support the child in an upright position while a parent or sibling pushes the child to get a swinging motion. Some swing sets include play items other than swings - such as a rope ladder or sliding pole.
For older children, swings are sometimes made of a flexible canvas seat, of rubberized ventilated tire tread, of plastic, or of wood. A common backyard sight is of a wooden plank suspended on both sides by ropes from a tree branch. Older children can go much higher, sometimes over 15 feet (5 m) above the ground. In the United States, some adults go to the extreme and compete in the NSA, "National Swing Association", where competitors reach heights over 20 feet, while leaping at the peak of their swing.
On a dead wheelbarrow, long since gone to the tip.
What strikes me is how very similar this is to some foliose lichens.

No postwork.
Even more fascinating fullsize.
