Discussion around March 2026's Theme: Metal, Metallic (page 4 of 7)

Still in Europe: a little trip to the Algarve!

I'm changing continents... Here we are now in Southern Africa!



Oh yes!



A vineyard, to be precise (Cape Region) !

The kettle,



The "pisse-mémé"...

Botswana shower

On the track (Namibia)!

To drink (ferry heading to the Faroe Islands)



And to eat (Indian thali)...

American metals:



USA (Route 66)



Brazil (Brasília Cathedral)



Chile (Humberstone Saltpeter Mine)



Peru (Gold Museum of Lima)

@Attila, such a lovely series... Metal and the art of upcycling, here near Lake Baikal.

I thought I had very few metal photos left, but seeing everyone else’s makes me realize, "Oh yeah, I do have a few photos of boats, cars!" ...or metal sculptures (mostly made from everyday objects), like these in the gardens of Eyrignac in Dordogne:

It looks like it’s rising straight out of the ground—an impression reinforced by your map of iron ore deposits in Western Australia.

They’re tall, they’re strong, they’re beautiful. They brave the storms. And... I love them.

Waiting for the tide...



Râs Nouâdhibou, Mauritania.

Speaking of which, not too far from Karijini... there’s the impenetrable Roebourne prison, which was shut down due to illness!!!

Hi there!

Râs Nouâdhibou, Mauritania.

Wow! I would’ve given this one top marks! Gorgeous photo (even with the wobbly horizon), with a kind of surreal touch. Thanks for sharing it.

Next stop:

To continue on the metal theme that clutters things up before eventually disappearing...



Near Carnarvon, WA

And to add to my photo 2, more wrecks in Solitaire

Hi there,

I was surprised that no photos of those wrecks in Solitaire had appeared in this thread yet... Thanks for sharing them and for bringing back some memories! Including those of the famous owner of the place who passed away a few years ago now. I’ve forgotten his nickname...?? My wife had chatted about stamps with him, and he gave her a whole envelope of them... A really friendly guy who embodied the Soul of Solitaire.

...

A bit of chauvinism for this iconic Namibian spot since you can even "run into" a French car there! Peugeot 404 or 504, my memory’s failing me…



But the relics in the area aren’t just automotive!

To stay on the topic of metal that clutters before eventually disappearing...



Or the kind that remains and becomes a tourist attraction. On the 4,000 Islands, Laos.

Or at the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia!

Hi there,

Don’t forget the metal assemblies that let you make all your dreams come true at the start and the end...?!









What would Voyage Forum be if planes couldn’t fly anymore...??

...Have a great weekend, everyone! 🙂
