Default I never thought rust could look so pretty.....

On another one of our expeditions we came across an old abandoned quarry which has not run for probably decade's. While Angela was out shooting flowers and scenery, I could not walk past this rusting monster that looked like it had just crawled out of a Terminator movie without taking some photo's of it.

Bucket shot

Gears galore

Thanks for viewing, cheers Steve.

What a great looking old shovel! I like the way you composed the shots, especially the last two. The contrast between the orange rust and the green foliage is wonderful as well.

Thanks for sharing.
