You could always buy up some scrap iron and water it every day or so or use some acid on it to make your own rust! I'd hate to see you run out of it!

I didn't think we had seen the last of this washing line post somehow and I was right.
Well done again in catching the rustic grandure of it and at this odd angle……..

Now just who is it who's been telling you to "Get out more", Mick?
Was it Jan, perhaps? or your daughter?
Or was it the landlord of Leith Dockers' Club?

Seriously, after last winter's weather débâcle I have made certain that I have a stock of photos to use in an emergency, and I tend to plan ahead anyway rather than just posting my latest.

Top marks for the shot!
Good bit of oxidation, corrosion and the metal is ready to start flaking.
But it looks quite tactile and the colour contrast with the cables looks wonderful!
I'm sure you'll keep us all wondering what you'll find next! Happy New Year to you and your family. IB

Note to Mick... You must do plenty of washing during the summer so you have a lot of clean shirts for the winter. Is this where that pole dancer practices?.

A cracker Mick, and well composed using the diagonal splitting the frame. The reference to a sword is fitting.

I am also sifting through archives - winter does not lend itself to always going out to get photos - a good repertoire of archived material is a must! Smile

Mick running out of rust is like a pub (or Dockers' Club) running out of beer!SadSad Unheard of!
Get out there are build up supplies before the seige of winter begins!! (Next winter, of course, not the current one....)

Ha ha, well I like this one MickSmile and I do know what you mean about getting plenty during the Summer. Trouble is, when I do that, I tend to upload more because I've got plenty, then run out anyway. My biggest problem though, is putting on weight, so I decided to go on an Acohol Diet. So far, I've lost three Days.

I'd have thought that winter was the time to get rust shots, Mick. Lots of rain to help the process along, & when it's cold & wet, who can be bothered to repair/replace it?
Smile

John - contrary to popular belief, the old ones are not the best.

What mick? are you telling us that there is no rust left round your area...Seriously, you'll find some old bolt for us. Now I remember a really nice wreckyard not far from Linlithgow should be plenty there Smile
Anyhow this washing pole is intriguing, don't the knickers end up all orange if you put them on the top of it Smile

I should have thought this line would have been full of washing just now, or had you just taken it inTongue Grin. Nice angle on the pole. Glad to see I am not the only one stranded without any new shots. Moira

Glad you revisited this one and posted it. I like your use of depth of focus and particularly like the diagonal composition. And, of course, some great detailed gritty rust.
My best to you in 2012.

Like the diagonal composition, Mkck, which must be either deliberate or accidental as a result of seasonal cheerWinkWink.
