My thanks to Sue Llewellyn for giving me the ideal opportunity to share these pictures of rust (something I might not otherwise have done) in response to her Word A Week Photograph Challenge on A Word In Your Ear at http://suellewellyn2011.wordpress.com/2014/08/28/a-word-a-week-photograph-challenge-rust/
Rusty ‘artwork’ by French sculptor Bernar Venet, on display in the Meijer Gardens and Sculpture Park in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
A rusty train engine sitting in a siding at the Illinois Railway Museum in Union.
An old wooden wheel with a rusty rim, no longer in service and having no other purpose now than to look picturesque, leans against a fence in Schaumburg’s Spring Valley Nature Center.
A rusty ship waiting to unload at a dock in Wisconsin.
Getting the Picture 
Nice series. I particularly like the locomotive.
Thanks, Timothy! We’ve been to Union several times and, although I’m not what you’d call a train enthusiast, I always find something interesting to shoot there.
Sounds like a fun place to go.
I like the rusty art work. That’s very unique!
It was definitely different! The birds seemed to like perching on it too.
The leaning wheel is a very attractive composition.
Thanks, Tootlepedal. It was standing there for quite some time and looked nicer as the greenery grew around it.
