Eat your heart out noelcmn! This a serious bucket of rust. The Eduard Bohlen stranded more that a 100 years ago and has it's own massive sand dune that you can see on Google Earth.
There is very little vegetation around and the crows made a nest under the sagging stern using ribs from seals as well as from some very scraggy plants

So when you have photographed all the rust in South Africa, you make you own new ones? Nice

Filigreed plate from an old drilling tower that has collapsed after a few decades on the Namibian Skeleton coast
The second one is the remains of an engine from a WW II Ventura bomber that was lost in 1941 on the same coast

Long time no chain? Or just what we call West Coast weather. Lots of fog and salt spray and no rain. Can rust overnight to look like your sprocket

Electrical plant motor for old mining machinery at Pomona in the Namib desert. Not far the coast and probably dating from 1930's, hence the lot of rust

Thanks WP Prestro. The South is one of most underrated areas in Namibia. Don't miss it next time.

Remains of a life boat abandoned at Grosse Bucht on the Skeleton coast. It has been there for more than forty years and the non sleeping rust has won. Very much blue hour with 8 s exposure

 Suide-110 by JF Steyn, on Flickr
Taken in geister slucht ( ghost valley). The story ( not sure if it is true) is that some wayward gentlemen used this car as a getaway vehicle after a trip into the sperrgebiet, that is German for forbidden area, which is close to where this vehicle is now. It is an area where diamonds were found and out of bounds for the public. Apparently the gentlemen were shot by the diamond detectives of the day ( notice bullet holes, but people tended to put bullets in al sort of things ) and their ghosts are still hanging around in this desert valley. It is about 80 miles from the coast and with very little rainfall. so the rust is slow to do it's thing. I was not accosted by anything strange

 Suide18 (68 of 147) by JF Steyn, on Flickr
Taken with K5 and trusty 18-135 at Sturmvogelbucht in Luderitz, Namibia. It is the remains of a shore based whaling station and these massive boilers were used to boil out the oil from the whale blubber. Must have been in the 1920s. Now it is a very desolate part of the coast and it is eery to imagine the scale of the slaughter there when now there is only a few seagulls and flamingos hanging around
