My interests include the natural world, wildlife, landscapes, sky, and seascapes, travel, and astrophotography. I look for unique ways of viewing the world and presenting my images. I have traveled to over 55 countries in six continents, often on Semester at Sea voyages. While at home in New Jersey, I spend time on home renovation and expansion of a wildflower garden/meadow.

Supurb detail and composition on this terrific +RustySunday share. Looks like the ground may survive those huge rusty links, David. Thanks for sharing with us.
Thanks for sharing that additional capture, David. It looks like that pile of links will last thousands of years – enough time for lots of +RustySunday captures 🙂
