Rust

Anything rusty!

[Kimby]

Oooh, that's a nice picture on so many levels, thrill!




This is in my back yard, left from the days when the whole valley was homesteads and farms. (I haven't attempted to excavate and see if there's anything "good" in there.

I love old rusty stuff...I had some more rusty stuff in this thread:

This topic inspires me but I am still in my 'thinking' stage.

I want to hit up a junkyard.

Or you could just move to Mexico.

Guess your brain is "rusty" then, K2.

Can I drive a Mad Max style armored truck? That's all they are talking about in the news.

Yeah, I saw that! Unfortunately for you, that's not in my part of Mexico. However, if you have your heart set on it, I can arrange something as long as I get to do some kind of Tina Turner thing.

Oh too too funny you two!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D

I ,too,have a particular thing for rusted iron. I have quite a collection of garden "features" of rusted out wrought iron.
On a bike ride this past weekend,I found an old piece of some water pipe fitting up on the levee and went back for it later with my car to pick it up.

Yes,I know,I need to take some pics.....

Here's an old pic from my garden a couple of years ago.

Nice old implements, bixa.

I took that photo in Montana, kimby. Is that one of your new trains?

[Kimby]

(is there an echo in here?)

Sadly, Northern Pacific RR no longer exists. It was absorbed into Burlington Northern, I believe, which has since been absorbed into the Burlington Northern Santa Fe RR. Passenger service ended long ago, and the elegant station building has been converted to other uses. Trains still run by but they are all freight trains, with the exception of an occasional special charter passenger train. Amtrak does still run through Montana, but on the "high line", up by Glacier Park. So to go anywhere on a train, I would have to drive 3 1/2 hours and overnight in a hotel.

I like this rust thread - it's excellent. Must have a mooch round the farm.....

I was going to put these in the On the Farm thread, but thought better of it.

That's a really great interpretation of the "Rust" theme in #18, Kimby -- nice surprise & great photos. The third one in #19 is a super photo, too.

From Kew Gardens - the doors to the students test beds -

[onlymark]

You test the students in bed?

[tod2]

I like the piercings in the iron forming all kinds of vegetables! The beds look deserted - so no students to test right now Mark ;D

don't encourage him tod2..........

I have to say that once they get the beds going, they are fantastic - a mixture of veg and some flowers but usually very original and creative. I'll take pics next year.

Could also have posted this in "fire" or even "patina" as I think this is artificially induced rust on the logs for a gas fireplace outside a Montana ski lodge.
