La Recoleta Cemetery, Buenos Aires, Argentina
La Recoleta Cemetery (Spanish: Cementerio de la Recoleta) is a cemetery located in the Recoleta neighbourhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. It contains the graves of notable people, including Eva Perón, presidents of Argentina, Nobel Prize winners, the founder of the Argentine Navy, and a granddaughter of Napoleon. In 2011, the BBC hailed it as one of the world's best cemeteries, and in 2013, CNN listed it among the 10 most beautiful cemeteries in the world.
The monks of the Order of the Recoletos arrived in this area, then the outskirts of Buenos Aires, in the early eighteenth century. The cemetery is built around their convent and a church, Our Lady of Pilar (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Pilar), built in 1732. The order was disbanded in 1822, and the garden of the convent was converted into the first public cemetery in Buenos Aires. Inaugurated on 17 November of the same year under the name of Cementerio del Norte (Northern Cemetery), those responsible for its creation were the then-Governor Martin Rodríguez, who would be eventually buried in the cemetery, and government minister Bernardino Rivadavia. The 1822 layout was done by French civil engineer Próspero Catelin, who also designed the current facade of the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Cathedral. The cemetery was last remodeled in 1881, while Torcuato de Alvear was mayor of the city, by the Italian architect Juan Antonio Buschiazzo.
Set in 5.5 hectares (14 acres), the site contains 4691 vaults, all above ground, of which 94 have been declared National Historical Monuments by the Argentine government and are protected by the state. The entrance to the cemetery is through neo-classical gates with tall Doric columns. The cemetery contains many elaborate marble mausoleums, decorated with statues, in a wide variety of architectural styles such as Art Deco, Art Nouveau, Baroque, and Neo-Gothic, and most materials used between 1880 and 1930 in the construction of tombs were imported from Paris and Milan. The entire cemetery is laid out in sections like city blocks, with wide tree-lined main walkways branching into sidewalks filled with mausoleums.

Legend has it that It was used as a party venue by locals. They tied a cable to it from the beach and flying foxed over to the ship's large deck. However, military aircraft perform low flying passes over this sand dune beach and cut it down.
RIP Synga.
these were done a few days ago, I did the lower one first, paper wrapped around pipe, held in place with rusty wire. The top one was wet in vinegar first, wrapped with both a heavy rusty wire and some lighter steel wire that rusted as it sat in a plastic bag.

RUST STOPPER
• Rust-killer by way of converting rust into a permanent black layer of anti-rust.
• Easy to use: Dip, Brush or Spray.
• No harsh odor.
Application:
Suitable for use on severely rusted metal where rust had pen¬etrated into the metal structure and becomes impossible to eliminate except by “killing” it so that the metal can be re-painted.
How to use:
Pour RUST STOPPER into an empty container during each application. Promptly re-cap the remaining unused RUST STOPPER liquid left in its original packaging so that it will not be contaminated.
1. Before treating, clean the metal surface first from rust & old paint: mask with wire brush, coarse sandpaper or other abrasive tools.
2. Shake bottle and pour a little into a plastic container. Do not use metal containers because RUST STOPPER will react immediately with metal.
3. Cover metal surface with RUST STOPPER.
4. Metal surface will change to black color after 15 minutes. It’s always advisable to brush a second layer of RUST STOPPER 10 minutes after the first layer has been applied.
5. In areas with high humidity, top layer will reduce the risk of peeling/dissolving. Paint surface within 24 hours after coating with RUST STOPPER.
6. Immediately wash the brush with water after use.
Packaging: Bottle of 1 L & 250 ml

Rusted Enamel Technique (Tim Holtz Chemistry 101) April 2012
Love this technique! Looking forward to playing with different color combinations.

My initial inclination was to turn this into a black&white but when when I processed this 5 exp hdr I really liked the variety of color in this scene.
Rust roest is a Dutch expression which means ´idleness rusts the mind´. Literally translated it would be: rest rusts.

This photo is taken in the Duisburg-Nord Landscape Park, a monument of industrial cultural heritage. This is a massive industrial wasteland, measuring 200 hectares, which has been transformed into a multifunctional park.
Former industrial facilities have been converted to a variety of different uses. The former factory buildings have been converted to accommodate cultural and corporate functions; an old gasholder has become a diving centre; the former ore storage bunkers have been turned into alpine climbing gardens, and an extinct blast furnace has been developed into a panoramic tower.
In my opinion a great project where industrial heritage is saved for the future. For photographers it is a Walhalla as well: so many beautiful structures, buildings and lovely ´paintings´ of rust and flaked paint. Rust roest, literally.
