Instagram @Flaming_Rust Feature

I enjoy seeking out and photographing grungy, rusty "treasures" and every so often, like yesterday, I receive recognition for such. These four images of mine were selected for the solo @Flaming_Rust feature grid! I'm ecstatic!

@Flaming_Rust is an excellent Instagram gallery for all sorts of deteriorating and rusting objects. I urge you to check out their feed, awesome! You'll be amazed at all of the colors of rust!

I greatly appreciate the hard-working hubs and galleries on Instagram where so many of us find a forum for our gritty, grimy visions of artistic expression!

There's a derelict burger joint on Peace Portal in Blaine that has been on the market for as long as the seven years I've lived here. I pass by it just about every day and think about what uses I could put the empty building to. But today I stopped, in the rain, and scouted around a bit.

I found a lot of peeling paint, which appeals to me--pun intended--and evidence of rain present and past. So today's photo is a mini-album. Surprise!
