A country road about two miles from my house with iron ore in the black top.  Once common here, this is one of the few remaining now.

Never heard of that, iron!!! And why was it used?

[krag96]

We're on the fringe of the coal/iron mining area of PA and there just happened to be iron in the rock quarried to make the roads.  None of it is uniform size, just what happened to be in the mix.  It's interesting and probably not unique, and it's a thing that like so many others from the past, it won't be around much longer I suppose, the new black-top is iron free, probably due to regulations.  This particular road is a seldom used rural road that connects several farms and may escape resurfacing for a few years yet.

Coooool… thanks for the answer, Sir!

Are these bunnies in the sky?

Are these bunnies in the sky?  

I'm just gratified to learn that dust (bunnies) are, indeed, democratic and affect everyone the same.

affect everyone the same.

 

 

For sure, everyone.

But wouldn't it be reasonable, for someone who spoiled his shirt
eating spaghetti, to change or repair the accident before a date?

[Ron]

Yeah, well... maybe. But you didn't post this in the critique section.

 

In any case, who knows, at some point in the future (when cameras are smart enough to automagically recognize and remove dust bunnies) they might become trendy. Ya know, the next big art craze. After all, we currently have sliders to add grain noise to photos and presets to give digital photos a retro film look. You may just be ahead of your time!

I see them now, I must not have cleaned the filter before taking the shot, so...Bunnies in the sky!  Yup, they were on my filter, I was running around that day with  doggo  in the car taking some photos.

Those bunnies are not on any filter on a lens, they are on the bottom half of your filter pack on the sensor. A dirty lens filter will only lower contrast, the dirt won't be visible like this.

[krag96]

Yes, you're right.  I cleaned the sensor and set the camera to clean when it's turned on.
