RE: The Old Dog Provides: Inspiration For The Mundane as Art Rust Contest!

rust weapon DSC_0931.jpg

Hey Old Dog! In terms of photography this isn't a photo I would submit. Had I taken a good close up it might have been a worthy submission. It is interesting for its historical significance, so I'll share it anyway.

In a beautiful area along a river this rusty weapon is presented as you see it here. Here is a translation:

After the armistice at the end of the second world war, thousands of German and Austrian soldiers were camped in the Kaiserwinkl (on the Austria/Germany border.) In order to escape captivity, many disposed of their weapons (in this area) on their way north. When dredging the Tiroler Ache River we found the remains of an army rifle.

With that in mind,

Wishing Our World Peace in 2018

Thanks for that intersting photo and the translating of the text.
