   I get reminded that “The passage of time isn’t always kind” every time I look into a mirror.

   Avec le temps
   Avec le temps, va tout s’en va
   On oublie le visage et l’on oublie la voix
   Le cœur, quand ça bat plus c’est pas la peine d’aller
   Chercher plus loin, faut laisser faire et c’est très bien

   I like the blotchy nature of the paint and the interesting color around the rust spots. A fine shot to end this series.

    That lower section almost looks like a burst of rust. Nice eye.

    Excellent abstract composition. I love these images of rust and their wonderful unpredictability of decomposition.

    The passage of time isn’t always kind but it always make some mighty fine frame. Excellent, Otto!

    I like the strange shape created by the rusty metal in the middle of the picture.
