Rust Never Sleeps
Wet snow is on the ground. It’s cold, damp and dank. It was suggested earlier that it was a great background for black & white photographs, but this photobobo’s bones are aching — I feel rusty. But rust does have its appeal in the revival of the old through the lens.
I find beauty in rusted patina. Old machines, beams, metal artifacts left to the ages yell art through the lens. I hope you agree.

Cool pics. I am always picking up lovely bits of rusty metal on my bush walks and at garage sales. Rust has a unique beauty. It is nature’s art on our past.
