No more rust junkie shots since late October? Time to change that
When we moved into our current house 20 years ago we retired the gas-oil heater and converted to natural gas. To comply with environmental legislation we recently had the idle gas-oil tank cleaned and filled with PUR foam.
After the cleaning and before putting the foam in I put my camera on a monopod, set the self timer to 10 seconds and hung it through the open manhole. Here's the result which fits this thread quite well

Dang, the hardcore bunch of us need to hang a " Masters " jacket on you. Your terrific PP work on this one is pure Rust Junkie stuff.... absolutely. Well done, willard.That one subject could keep me busy for a week.
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

This is wonderful, well done. (I don't know how to make the pics smaller in a comment)
Pieter: that's a fascinating one. The shadows and 3D feeling set it apart from the others. Well done. I can see some sort of surreal water and sky thing, which would be enhanced if you did a panoramic crop eliminating most of the blue from the bottom
Belton Missouri has a little historic train yard with a handful of coaches and a couple old engines in pitiful shape. One of those engines is a little green switcher. Ugly as sin but if you get good morning or afternoon light the rust and peeling green paint absolutely sing.

Hi Tatiana! Life got in the way. Hopefully I'll be able to get behind the camera more. Maybe I won't be such a stranger around here. :-)

But thanks for the comment anyway (I don't mind my pictures to show large in a comment

Pieter that is great!
A few rust shots from vacation in Burgundy:
I loves me some rust!
