gloriously rusty 'Tuesday' (this weather is enough to make anybody feel rusty) and 'eye of the beholder'.
Nice and watery, capstan has nice slimy feel!

To me the beautiful varied colours of the small stones are the hero of this picture.

Nice rusty object which makes me think of rope and a sailor's hornpipe! Diddle-dee da da diddle diddle diddle diddle . . .

Nice thought - not sure I can manage it!

@kbroges

Nearly cropped them out - so I'm glad I didn't!

nicely composed, a little more saturation would bring the detail of the "rust"

Thanks, I'll have another look at it - wasn't sure quite when to stop!

Love the pebbles and composition.

Fantastic perspective.

Hahaa - that's lovely - everyday should be gloriously rusty.

Nice composition, looks wet cold and rusty!

Interesting find and a great rust capture. I like the idea of rusty Tuesday.

I hate to admit it but sometimes I feel just a bit rusty myself!!!

A great find (how many I`ve use without taken any attention as just fasten the hawser on it) and beautiful close up

Yes, we do take everyday objects for granted. Ferry, thank you, as always, for taking the trouble to comment on my photos - much appreciated.

Half empty or half full - is this sinking in to the stones or coming out of them. I would like to think the latter

@scarybird

Coming out definitely, Steve - in fact the water is very shallow!

@quietpurplehaze you`re welcome
@quietpurplehaze If you and Ray be there/here in this neigbourhood I gladly like to accompany you and guide you around . It looks much more eerie as it is in real .

Wonderful shot and wonderful rust.

is that an old canon Hazel?

@04haze

I don't think so, but maybe - I just thought it was a capstan on the water's edge?
