I have spent my whole life
wanting to turn my gaze away from its uglier aspects.
Rust!
What could be uglier than rust? more subtly sinister, more depressing,
more redolent of defeat, despair, degeneration, aimless meaningless ennui?
Rusting away...................
UGLY!
I remember the soul crushing despair of not knowing how to
.
see only the beauty
.
of the temples and jungle flowers and mountain snows and enchanting ruins of India
when I lived there as a very young man.......
and NOT being able to......
NOT see the mangled beggars, the dirt, pollution, homelessness, the inhumanity, the f'ing flies!
But then a Thunderbolt from Heaven,
or at least a new contest,
from that Master of the Mundane,
everyone's favorite art connoisseur,
@ kus-knee - The Old Dog
in the form of his newest Mundane Art contest:
The Old Dog Presents: The Mundane as Art Round Seven. The Theme is Rust!
Suddenly
I had a new mission in life! Find the beauty in EVERYTHING!
(or, at least in rust)
Go deeper, find the beauty!
Even the gorgeous Lotus Flower
rises up from the muck!
And so I present to you,
faithful bots and human steemians, followers of my twists and turns:
RUST!
Great Ball of Rust
Rusty Grid part one
Unchained Rust
New Life amidst the Rust
Bubbly Rust (it must be Christmas!)
Just to let you know.....
I was going to let you bots and human steemians
help me choose which rust photo to enter
into 
https://steemit.com/mundaneart/@kus-knee/the-old-dog-presents-the-mundane-as-art-round-seven-the-theme-is-rust
But then I thought
the heck with it
my taste in mudane art is as good as any bot's!
And so my entry is...
Ta Da.....
Bubbly Rust (it must be Christmas!)

ouzo and out,
