load of rust

for me the surprises are:
no.2 RHS flower show
2013 part 4, this is almost certainly there because it was ‘re-blogged’ by
Sandra Dodd on her wheelbarrow blog
no. 7 ‘After Olympia’, a sculpture by Anthony Caro who died
on 23 October 2013, it was shortly after this date that the page had a lot of
‘hits’
i am also pleasantly surprised/amazed that the picture for
the last day of the blog not only made it into the top ten but at number 3
where it shares places with the first blog picture - spooky
one of the strangest tales to accompany the making of this blog is connected with the London bridges across the Thames series (unfinished) and the day i was at Barnes footbridge, which never actually appeared but if it had would have looked like this:
as i walked along the path after taking the photograph i came upon this:
poor Sewa Singh Johal's relatives didn't take the lid from his cinerary urn before throwing his ashes into the Thames and it had got washed up by Barnes bridge

Just logged on in Tobago to see your final photos. Yes I will miss your blog - the unexpected, the thought provoking, those I really liked and those not so much. But always a few minutes rest - nearly rust - from other pressures of the day. One of my favourites is rust 358 which I have just seen for the first time, the gradual decay from left to right matched by the light and shadow and the texture. Great. Best wishes.
