I'd found a bit of rust underneath recently, on the ends of the sills, although thankfully it was just surface rust. This is partly what prompted me to get the treatment done. There was no other corrosion of note underneath and hopefully it'll stay that way for a good while now. The proprietor described it as 'solid' which will do me!
Stopped off at a historical site called Britannia Mines on the way back to Vancouver from Whistler Mountain. The weather cooperated and the late afternoon sunshine brought out the redness in the various rusted machinery on the site. My only regret was I had my Panasonic FZ1000 with me instead of my Canon 5D MK II kit.
The lampposts on the George's Island dock have seen some abuse from sun and sea, and their paint is patchy in places. The pits go pretty deep, creating some rather interesting texture, if one bothers to look closely at them. The contrast of green paint and red rust caught my eye as well, so I had to take a couple of photos.
This was the first Streetcar we saw when we entered the Halton County Radial Railway Museum on Saturday. The condition of the car indicates that it has been sitting outside for many years at the mercy of the weather. Only the doors have the original paint left on them, as the rest has rusted off the body. The doors were locked, and the interior of the car was gutted. HCRR seems to have no plans on restoration, though their website indicates they did at some point.
The original photo of this car when it was delivered to HCRR can be found here www.hcry.org/collection_1947_4386.html

Incredible array of rusted material in this hacienda factory that is now used by a few locals for the processing of henequen to produce sisal fiber. In the late 19th century these factories brought immense wealth to the region and their products were used for ship building and other industrial purposes. Now they are hidden in the landscape and barely used, except for a few haciendas that have been rehabbed for high end accommodations.

Old picture...my friend Mckee aka Rusted Fate with his (then) new tattoo. I showed him this design, he loved it, and the rest is history.

I found a good rust on an old-fashioned garage in Ibaraki, Osaka.
