Hugh’s Weekly Photo Challenge–Week 11: Rust

February 5, 2016

—

If you have not heard of this weekly photo challenge, definitely check it out! This challenge comes from Hugh’s News and Views. This week’s theme is rust.

I took this photo of my old, rusty, Aztec-inspired metal sun attached to a shed in my backyard. He’s literally hanging in there!

Rust is created when certain metals oxidize. The color of rust can be very beautiful and rich. Here is a rusty sunrise just for you, compliments of the Sea of Cortez in Baja Sur, Mexico.

I love both of your pics Terri and what a great idea to get into photography with a weekly challenge. I think I will check it out as it might help me become more creative in my photography. Thanks for sharing with us at #Overthemoon and see you next week.

What a work of art the rust has turned both the Aztec metal sun and that sunrise into. Both great for the challenge, Terri.
They’ll get stumbled (which I’m now addicted to) 😃
