Many Colors of Rust

Feeling uninspired by another gray day, I returned to my favorite nursery in search of some color. My intent was to find a cheerful flower shot, and while I took plenty of those, my favorite image turned out to be this one of a rusty metal barrel and pipes. I am smitten with the blocks of color in the background, especially the deep green and orange. They set off the rusty pipes perfectly. Who knew that rust came in so many colors?
