Friday My Town Shoot-out - Rust

This week's shoot-out theme is rust. There's a lot of it about on the Isle of Lewis...







Why not visit the link to other bloggers and see how others have depicted rust?

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

    You couldn't be in a better place. Jonathan Meades christened Lewis The Island Of Rust.
    It also has a dedicated blog.

    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...

    That last image is fantastic! But I still think rust looks better at a distance - love the first shot!

    The rusty chain links are beautifully composed.

    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.

    Awesome landscape. I like the open area and for sure rust could be everywhere here too ^_^ Thanks for the post.

    Another 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'!
