I've have a variety of Citroen CX parts soaking in a Molasses bath to remove rust. Yes, it does work and rather effectively. You need to use a feed grade Molasses, which is available at your "local" Feed Store. I mixed a ratio of 1 part Molasses to 3 or 4 parts hot water. Let the parts soak for about 2 weeks.
These lilies (along with the rusty fence) belong to my neighbor. When they blossom, it's like the entire fencerow has gone up in flames.
It's been kind of rainy today, so I decided to take my Thursday walk (this would be the Utata Thursday Walk) close to home (read: in my yard) so that if it started to pour, I wouldn't be too far away. Also, me + rain + photography don't mix too well... snapping shots of a rainstorm last summer was how I fried my last camera.
I was finally able to pick up a proof press. It's a Chandler and Price, vintage anywhere from the 1890's to about 1910. The price was so low even I could afford it. It also didn't hurt that it was about 3 miles from where I live. It looks like a refugee from Noah's Flood but in spite of that and the missing door it's all there and in useable shape, after cleanup that is.
The items inside are a brayer and two mailer machines. I'll post a separate photo with an explanation of those later.
i found this chilling at first glance.
i think this rusty side of a building used to be a tourist-oriented gallery that featured tropical nature designs. i'm glad that while it went out of business, the sea creatures still hang on, anyway. still an homage to the hardiness of wild spirits, and the adventure of trying to run a gallery.
Seems an lot of it on our Alexanders this spring. A lot more than usual, the Romans found not be eating it for their veggies in this condition!

The bridge near Beverly Beach is in dangerously eroded condition, and explanatory signs nearby described the extreme salt water spray conditions faced by equipment left there. This chain link fence did a beautiful job of visually explaining the dangers.
BTW, tetanus is not caused by rust itself, but bacteria often contained in fecal matter. The reason it is associated with rust is that it often collects on nails that pop up in barns where bovine fecal matter is present.
Just thought you'd like to know. It was one of those things I was always wondering myself.
2006 December 27 - Rust along the left back corner of the Nissan Sentra's trunk hood. Water would seep in and drip into the trunk, yuck. No "before" pic available. I tried aluminum tape but it curled and water stayed underneath it. Then I tried spray painting the rusted areas with Rust-o-leum Hammered bronze paint. Works great so far! If it starts leaking again, I'll try caulking around the rubber seal edge.
I'm attempting to make it a practice to keep an eye out for textures. I'm also making these available for download if you are interested. If you use one please leave a comment or mark as a favorite.

This old boat has been at our summer camp for a long time. The last time it was used as a pontoon boat (i.e. party barge), one of the pontoons took in water and sank. Not all the way, but, there were people swimming.
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.
