One of the larger bits of a shipwreck of the Minmi steamer at La Perouse in Botany Bay National Park, Sydney. Not surprisingly, there were other photographers there so I wanted to be careful not to get in the way and also high tide was coming. Thus I did not explore the whole shipwreck. This is the front part of the shipwreck from the shore.
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.
Trying out my new D90 and 35mm lens at Horopito car yard. Loved the contrast between the body and the chrome.
The rear transmission on a bicycle, worn and rusted from many years of riding. Retouched some months later.
Beneath Upper Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois.
Weather and road salt have caused extensive corrosion of exposed structural steel as well as rusting of the reinforcement bars embedded in the concrete roadway. Rusting of the rebar has caused concrete to flake away, revealing more rebar and accelerating the deterioration.
Spray painted markings indicate that some agency has surveyed this decay and is planning to repair it, which will not be simple.
I took this photograph from the walkway on the south side of the Chicago river, east of the DuSable Bridge.
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.
Aa FJ Holden lays rusting in the still hot dry air.....lost to time over the years a shadow of it's former glory.
Detail view of the garden fireplace. Too hot fire destroyed the varnish and left the sheer metal. After a few weeks most of the fireplace ist rusted from the rain.
