A piece of an old pump was laying on the ground by the pond next to the Salmon Bake in Juneau, Alaska. It was raining, which continued to corrode the piece.

A steel bracket held the pieces of the pilings together. Unfortunately, the braces and the bolt holding them were rusting in the extreme.

A bolt became the image of a mushroom cloud. Either that or it resembled a tornado tearing up the ground.

Three bolts leaned as if dancing to some extremely slow music. The bold in the background took a bow.

These bolts had been rusted down to almost nothing. Here was one bent as if showing off how limber it was.

A rusty nut and bolt held together two pieces of rusted metal.

A rusty nut and bold found near Ocean Beach in San Francisco.

A fire plug on a street corner in San Francisco had been painted white a long time ago. Here, rust caused by the nearby bay was discoloring the paint and weakening the bolt.

A rusted piece of pipe and a pipe fitting lay on the beach and looked as if it was trying to eat the rocks.
