Rust feast

One of the positive outcomes of the continuous rain on the mountain is that rust is curing all over the place. Some of it on the rust bank, some on bits of 'art' that have been left out to cure, and others on gardening implements.

I just could not resist wandering around taking a few quick photos as I think they are a feast for the eyes.

No wonder we as artists try to capture the brilliant variety of the colours of rust and transfer it to: wood; paper; and fabric - it is such a great mark maker.

    I'm wanting to write even a semi-intelligent comment about all the lovely rust you've shared, but all my mind (and rust loving soul) are capable of at the moment is lusting after your rusty photos. Would this qualify as rust porn? Ha!
