This could be different things to different people but I see a sabre-toothed wild boar.
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up abstract detail from a weathered old car. Some of the thick paint has flaked off revealing very rusty bodywork. The flakes still attached form a distinct shape that resembles the snout of a wild boar with a long jagged tooth.

Pleasing curves in the weathered paintwork on a "vintage" vehicle
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up abstract detail from a weathered old van. Some flakes of pale paint remain attached to the bodywork in a gently curving pattern but most has fallen off showing the underlying dirty brown surface. All is covered in subtle blemishes and scratches.

The red is a layer on top of the white that has finer cracking and stops the cracks in the white. But I don't understand the physics so I'll just enjoy its aesthetics.

Close-up abstract detail from a weathered old road sign. The white base color has a network of cracks that show underlying dark rust. There is an arc of faded red over the white paint which is also cracked but in a finer network showing the white underneath.

A rust-and-paint abstract from a very weather-beaten road sign.
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up abstract detail of the green paint used for lettering on a road sign whose white base color has largely been replaced by the orange and brown of rust. The rust is dissected by one thin dribble of the green paint.

Rabbit's ears - from the weathered paintwork of a roadside pickup truck. Not sure what happened to the rest of the rabbit. #macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up abstract detail of damaged paintwork on the side of a pickup truck with two distinctive shapes that look like rabbit's ears in pink and blue with orange tips lying horizontally. The surrounds are mainly very fine densely-packed specks of pink on an almost black background plus some flakes of blue paint along the top.

Extreme weathering on an old metal advertisement being used as a gate decoration!
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of the crazy network of cracks on the paint of an old metal advertisement where the remains of the pale paint has been stained rich orangey brown by the rust that has taken over leaving the cracks themselves a dark brown color.

Another detail from the weathered old farm truck's bumper I posted yesterday
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of the multiple peeling layers of different colored paint on the metal bumper of an old farm truck in Thailand. The lower third is mainly a stripe of yellow paint that has flaked to leave the interesting shape of 3 vertical extensions protruding into the mainly red and brown flaky paintwork above. There are also some flecks of gray paint.

Detail from a weathered old farm truck's bumper. Just how many layers of paint do you need!?! I count six.
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of the multiple peeling layers of different colored paint on the metal bumper of an old farm truck in Thailand. There is yellow, red, brown, blue, green and whitish paint showing with a few spots of rust in an abstract pattern.

Reptilian detail from a farm truck
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of the peeling cracked paintwork on the wooden boards of an old farm truck in Thailand. The round head of a large rusty bolt has stained the surrounding paint orange and together with the paint texture resembles a reptile's eye.

Spiderlings - detail from the back of a weathered road sign
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #accidentalart #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of cracked paintwork on the back of a road sign in Thailand. The cracks show the dark rust underneath and the white paint has been stained orange along the edges of the cracks. Two small star-like crack patterns resemble spiderlings in a corner of a large web.

Sign of a smile - detail from a weathered road sign
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #abstract #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of cracked blue paintwork on the front of a road sign in Thailand. The cracks are silvery with a hint of dark rusting and two rivets combine with a curved crack to resemble a face.

Street map road sign - detail from the weathered back of a street sign
#macrophotography #weathering #urbandecay #abstractart #abstract #abstractphotography
Close-up detail of cracked paint on the back of a road sign in Thailand that looks like a street map with cracks of dark rust between patches of white paint that has been stained orange and yellow around the edges.

The first long-legged centipede (Thereuopoda longicornis) I’ve seen in our garden. It successfully deceived me into thinking its head was on the right.

It's all fun and games until someone steals the worm. Sesame and Acorn usually eat well together but they do occasionally tussle. 🦇
