dust, dust ..... no rust, rust

Well look at the state if these British piers!! Thankfully this one is not in use, its an old disused pier just off the beach near Fort Victoria , Isle of Wight. I took a walk there at the weekend and snapped some pictures of some impressive rust. The whole structure appears to be beyond repair and crumbling - don't think there are any plans to repair it, there are some swanky new houses nearby so guess it will be demolised one day.

Incidentally this was taken on my Canon Rebel XT SLR (US version of the 350D), and impressive camera, I just need to read the book and find out how it works!

did a piece of Mg do this?

Surprising what a piece of flint and some Magnesium can do:

Nah, not really I took this on the bank of the River Medina on the Isle of Wight at the weekend. Some pesky kids must have set light to this tree. It's still looking very healthy though and growing well on the river bank.
