Rocking Rusty and Valve tapping eight

P1200240 - This is an old land Rover which has been in the woods for well over 20 years. It has an old BMC 'B' series petrol engine either 1.8 or 2.2 litres, majority of the body work has long gone, but some parts still remain. How it got here who knows, there is a similar question for an old Post ofice Morris Minor at the top end, which the rabits have found very useful (another day perhaps).

The inlet and exhaust valve springs, slowly, very slowly corroding away, don't make em like they use to.

Been really busy the last few days, so no time to find a new shot for the daily shoot, so here's another from the weekend Land Rover series.

Make a photograph today that illustrates attraction. Pick whatever definition of the word you'd like.
So the attraction is a reaction Fe2O3·nH2O or (FeO(OH), Fe(OH)3)
Given sufficient time, oxygen, and water, any iron mass will eventually convert entirely to rust and disintegrate. Surface rust provides no protection to the underlying iron

So my attraction is a reaction or a drawing of air and water to iron forming the attraction.
