Rust is a small town on the shore of the Neusiedler See in Burgenland, Austria. It is extremely picturesque and famous for its wine and storks:) There is really a great number of these lovely birds, but I wasn't able to capture one without a telephoto lens.
Close up shot of the inside of our clothes washer showing two of several points where the enamel is damaged and the drum is rusting. This apparently is the source of rust colored stains on towels accidentally left in the washer for a day. The real question is what, if anything, can be done to repair the enamel short of replaceing a washer that is otherwise quite functional?
This photo is illustrating this question at the Home Improvement stackoverflow site.
Rusting barrels abandoned, but still contain lots of life....Part of my collection of abandoned, forgotten barrels in the Georgetown area of Seattle. I love this area to explore, it offers many unusual and interesting relics to photograph. Very industrial. You can see the entire set here...click me
Some of the steam pipes end on. A nicely rusted relic from long gone days. Still even in the bush, coming across such things adds to the experience for me. I have an inbuilt curiousity about these old left overs, but if it were a more modern thing dumped there I'd be angry - another hundred years I'd be pleased to see it - Maybe I'm a bit mixed up?

My owl is rusting up to a lovely orange on the tree. It keeps watch over all who come and go with a fearsome gaze.

So, rust is cancer to all metal. If you catch it in time, you can remove the small bits of rust, cancer, and treat the metal, eradicating the cancerous rust, leaving the steel strong as was intended. Ignore it and it will destroy even the strongest metal. This is a piece of 1/8” steel I removed from a large section of 1/2” plate. This was the underside of the plate. I saw it and knew immediately what the problem was. You can cover it up and make it look pretty, but the cancer is still there eating up the steel. As I informed my customer, that piece and others like it, cannot be recovered. It’s beyond hope and will need to be replaced with new steel.
