Transitional beauty

On this blog I periodically post on rust and the gradual transition of timber and books. A few days ago I was down the back cutting weeds. I noticed that the organ that sits between our mango trees has really started to breakdown in a beautiful way - a quiet transition. I thought I'd share a few photos.

And of course on the block there is always rust to be appreciated. Recent rain has speed up the rusting process of a bunch of circular saw blades that I'm keeping to turn into a portal doorway.

Nature provides the beauty even as it works to return the timber and iron to the earth.

    I love the look of the organ aging in the garden. And rust is delicious ...

    The organ still looks regal as it sits quietly working away on its own destruction. Very beautiful. And the saw blades are scrumptious! Now I want a portal!
