If I were really annoyed with myself for posting this week's FSO on Monday, I wouldn't have another go at it. But I've got used to being annoyed with myself for stuffing things up and don't let it bother me too much these days. However, I did have to dig into my archives on my old computer to find a few more shots, and none of them are taken around here. They are all in the north and not that far away though.
This one amused me because the For Hire sign looks to be in much better condition than the machine. Maybe it's only rusty on the outside but it doesn't exactly inspire confidence, does it?
Take your pick of go-carts:
Add a few rusty old things to achieve a really rustic look:
Finally, because I love looking at rusty old sheds, I just had to add one.
Want to have a look at some great photos of rust, rusty and rustic? Just pop over
here.
There is something about time-worn rusty old things that I just love. I use it for yard art here.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos....
You sure have a lot of 'rusty' photos around your area, I've see the previous photos, and they are awesome.
ReplyDeleteWho would think that rust looks very beautiful. People don't notice it but we do ^_^ Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteRust,rusty,rustic
I agree with Kim who would have though rust would look so good on photos. Great job.

Gosh - two posts for the price of one this week. We call that a BOGOFF here (Buy one get one free!). No doubt GB can tell me if it's called the same with you.
ReplyDeleteThose go-carts took me back. I had one just like it. Must find a photo and post it one day.
You have a real eye for the subject on FSO I must say. As for stuffing things up I know better, you are definitely not a stuffer-upper. You are also so much more observant than I am. I didn't recall the rusty bits on the outside of the Wairere Boulders information shed although it was a really memorable place. Must 'do' the rest of the walk sometime.
ReplyDeleteI bet the boy and his Dad had a lot of fun building the white go cart and winning. What a lot of great memories. Pity Dads and children don't do this anymore. including my husband.
ReplyDeleteI hope they don't charge too much rent to hire that machine out. Got me laughing all the way! And I'll bet the go-carts were fun.
ReplyDeleteThose Go Carts are classic. Love all your rusty old choices.
ReplyDeleteI see a lot the same things around here. Great captures.
ReplyDelete(And no, that sign above the machinery does not inspire confidence. ::snort::)
I think you should be just fine with these! You did a beautiful job hon! I love all the rusty sheds and the for hire sign..LOL...no am thinking I would walk on by!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarah
Pauline....you crack me up! Love the new photos.
ReplyDeleteWell, I dunno...sometimes rusty old equipment works pretty good (this is coming from a 61-year-old!!)
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking some old equipment might work better than the new. :) I bet those go-carts were (and may still be) lots of fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah....that Nature Park building definitely looks rustic to me!! :)
ReplyDeleteI like anything old, so I do like the shed. and i would choose the rusty gocart. would love to go in that nature park. i love anything OLD
ReplyDeleteHello Pauline,
ReplyDeleteYep two for the price of one,thank you. You didn't get a photo of a rusty old outhouse though!!!
Next time maybe.
Happy days.

Rust can be fascinating, sometimes it's a thin line between an eyesore and a piece of art.
ReplyDeletegreat rusty finds Pauline!
