I went on a day trip with LROCV on the 30th of August to check out old sawmill sites around Powelltown, East of Melbourne.

There's this photoshop action called 'urban acid' that I like using sometimes.

Did you know steel will rust to 7 times its original size, so a 1" steel beam will grow to 7", quite amazing really.

Congrats...well deserved:)

[slt]

Thank you all!

When dm_td5 started this competition I thought neat, just as I'm going away on my first camping trip in the Puma, I was bound to come across some old tractor in a paddock somewhere. I kept an eye out for them, but I had done almost a thousand kms before I came across that rusty old tank on the outskirts of Grafton, and by then I was ready to settle for it. But then literally within a few more kms there was a wrecker with two rusty tractors at the gate (if not a paddock)!

Thanks again!

[werdan]

I love that shot. It's like the metal on the tractor is slowly being sucked back into the ground, which I suppose really is the case.
