Several years ago, I saw a brief B&W travelogue, apparently shown on British television in as a sort of April Fool's prank, about visiting that area of Italy where the best spaghetti is grown. It showed happy local residents in folk attire picking basketsful of fresh spaghetti, a few strands at a time, from the delicate branches of the spaghetti trees, and taking the harvest back to their farmsteads for drying.
April first used to bring interesting editions of several magazines for which I once maintained subscriptions.

1) A sports car magazine published a road test of a gigantic steam locomotive (acceleration and braking distance are not what we hoped)

2) Either Modern or Popular photography ran a retrospective of the ouvre of a lady photographer. They analyzed in detail the subtle tones, deep meaning, unique perspective and framing, and technical expertise in the most horrible set of images you can possibly imagine.

Sure is a lot of rusty stuff in SA
This probably once held a road sign of the "No Parking" variety.

Hi Dave, no, much of the stuff on the Farm/Campsite is there deliberately, for the ambiance and as decor! Here's another - and still lots to go

Hi Noel
Must be a big farm or everything gets left out in the weather
Is everything just consumerables over there ?
Is rust in vogue ?

I believe this is cor-10 steel, so it is supposed to be rusty.

Hi Dave, not a particularly large campsite, but there is a lot of farming implements and old antique stuff everywhere. Some indoors, some outdoors. Both rain in summer and frost in winter will contribute to the rust and of course being simply unused decor, it never gets attention. Left to rust. Some items are of course of little value anyway, such as the old Detecto Scale I posted a while back.
