You couldn't be in a better place. Jonathan Meades christened Lewis The Island Of Rust. It also has a dedicated blog. http://islandofrust.blogspot.com/ I love images of rust.......mine are rusty images.
Why do people choose building materials prone to corrode in such a climate? Is it the cheapest, quickest method to build, are there no alternatives? I honestly don't understand.
It's almost certainly the cheapest, Librarian, and I suppose in most cases the corrosion is only skin deep and so it doesn't matter (except aesthetically and even then it can sometimes be attractive) - it's a problem for the next generation...
Librarian doesn't seem to appreciate the beauty of the rust. I personally think you found the beauty in the items you photographed. There is something so fantastic about the old and rusty buildings, etc. It's history and to me that is glorious.

You have so much space with gorgeous view around in your country, totally opposite from my urban country.

ReplyDeleteThat last image is fantastic! But I still think rust looks better at a distance - love the first shot!
ReplyDeleteThe rusty chain links are beautifully composed.

ReplyDeleteAwesome landscape. I like the open area and for sure rust could be everywhere here too ^_^ Thanks for the post.
ReplyDeleteRust,rustic,rusty
I love every single one of your captures. Absolutely amazing shots and places.
ReplyDeleteI really like all the rust you found in your rustic environment.
ReplyDeletePerfect finds for the theme...and I love that countryside. It's so beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteLove the solitude of some of these photos! Rural, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteAnother wonderful set of photos. Sometimes I think rust 'fits right in', i.e. as long as I don't have to touch it or deal with it as a 'problem'!
ReplyDeleteall great choices. love the clouds and landscape shots.
