June Theme Day - The Beauty of Decay

Happy Theme Day 



 SS Minmi.
The Minmi, a collier was on its way from Melbourne to Newcastle when it hit the outside of
 Cape Banks on 13 May 1937. 
The main hulk of the wreck now lies above high water mark on the rock platform of Cape Banks, 
the north head of Botany Bay.

For more Theme Day contributions Head over to CDP.

    Rusr is such a classic symbol of decay! Funny how something that is decaying can be so visually attractive.

    This thing survived a lot of time by the salt water...

    Time and salt water have taken their toll on this remnant.

    Iron, sea air, and water + decay. Quite the combination and good post for theme day.

    Yep, I agree with them all. The colour and the composition are both superb! The flaking texture of the metal proves that even something that solid is eventually regained by mother nature. She is a very tough old woman, MN!

    Thank you for your contribution to our Theme Day ... and for all your visiting and your commenting. I appreciate it very much.
