Rusty 102-Year Old Ship Is A Floating Forest

This incredible 102-year-old floating forest is the result of 40 years of mangrove tree growth in Homebush Bay, Sydney. The SS Aryfield is an abandoned ship used in WWII that was left in the bay to deteriorate after the ship wrecking yard closed down. The massive ship’s rusty hull is now home to lush vegetation, including full-grown mangrove trees. What an incredible sight.

I think this is amazing! I had no idea this existed, and I drive by Homebush Bay quite often.

 

I was going to put it up on the rust thread but then I realised it has to be your own picture.

today is not a particularly good day to go, its already almost 30° and the bushfire smoke is still quite bad.
