I'm not even going to attempt a guess at what these steering wheels came off of. I'll assume it was some kind of farm machinery, but being agriculturally impaired that's about as far as I can go. But as I've said before, rusty junk makes good photographs.

Finally you get a break from the junkyard in Jacksonville. This cluster of junk is a bit closer to home, and not far at all from where I work. Amid the collection of shabby chic shops and trendy restaurants that make up Seaboard Station I found this assortment of forklift pallets one chilly November evening last year. Maybe it was some kind of art noveau installation, or perhaps it was left there as a firewood supply for Raleigh's homeless population. I sort of prefer to think of it serving some nobler purpose than just taking up space because nobody could be bothered to clean it up.
