Theme Day: rust and ruin

The first of the month is Theme Day in the City Daily Photo world.  This month's theme is "rust and ruin."  Here are rusty lockers up at Joaquin Miller Park.  Some seem to still be in use, but the look of abandonment permeates the air.  For more takes on the theme, visit CDP and see contributions from around the world.

    Well past their use by date. Great contribution to the theme.

    Are those lockers really chained to the wall, and with a rusty chain?!

    They look well rusty, not sure I'd want to use them now

    I'm thinking those locker doors would be difficult to open and close. I can hear them squeaking. :)

    Rusty and definitely in ruins, but with new-ish locks they are not out of service yet...

    Great find for the theme!

    I'm not so sure I'd leave anything in these lockers. THey look pretty seedy but make for a great photo op!
