Each month City Daily Photo bloggers post a photo that’s inspired by the group’s theme. This September the theme is Rusted and Ruined. The bronze above certainly is rusted. Some might argue that it’s not ruined, but I wouldn’t use it. It’s a ceremonial vessel called a ding.

Rusty indeed.
Excellent choice for the day!
Thanks.
Thanks. It’s got a certain wabi sabi, i.e. age and decay has given the object a new, different beauty.
