I've received quite a few reader submissions in the last week or so, and I can't wait to share them with you guys. Thanks to all who submitted, and keep 'em coming!

Today's textures come from Jeff Foster, who was nice enough to share with us a nice set of rust textures he found. Here is what he has to say about them:

Along the Borrego hiking trail in Lake Forest, California, stand the remains of a large tank. It's a slab of concrete with a ring of rusted metal sitting on it. The metal ring is three feet high and about thirty feet in diameter. I stepped inside it and marveled at all the different types of rust on the inside.

I wanted to say thank you to Jeff, and that the textures look great. You can download them below by clicking on the images. Enjoy!

Every once in a while when I'm out shooting textures for this site, I will happen upon an item or area that just oozes quality textures, whether it be an abandoned house or a dry lake bed or an old junkyard.

Today's textures come from a single dumpster I found in an alley a couple of weeks ago. I spent 10-15 minutes shooting every angle of the dumpster (I'm sure the people walking by thought I was a little "special"), but the fruits of my labor were worth it. I came out of the impromptu photo shoot with the following 12 textures.
