Waste Management recently won a American Reclamation route and WM is storing their dumpsters until they come to pick them up.
Recently WMmaster626 and I went filming in the Sun Valley area and afterwards went to Waste Management Sun Valley for a tour.
Big thank you to everyone at Sun Valley for the great tour. And thank you WMmaster626 for arranging it.

Taken in one of my favorite spots in town. Pieces of broken up foundation and wooden beams covered in moss, tree roots, and waterfalls. Secluded. Peaceful. Relaxing.
Levees double as pathways among the different holding areas where water is naturally filtered at this water reclamation area near Vero Beach, Florida.
Left abandoned for decades, nature's unrelenting reclamation of the barracks can be seen everywhere. Vines and creepers have spread throughout the structure like a virus. This place really does need saving.....
Victoria Harbour is a natural landform harbour situated between Hong Kong Island and the Kowloon Peninsula in Hong Kong. The harbour's deep, sheltered waters and strategic location on the South China Sea were instrumental in Hong Kong's establishment as a British colony and its subsequent development as a trading centre.
Throughout its history, the harbour has seen numerous reclamation projects undertaken on both shores, many of which have caused controversy in recent years due to environmental concerns concerning water quality and natural habitats in addition to economic concerns that benefits of land reclamation may be less than the effects of decreased harbour width, affecting the number of vessels passing through the harbour. Nonetheless it still retains its founding role as a port for thousands of international vessels each year.

In Surfers Paradise on our holiday in Queensland.
History of Surfers Paradise.
James Beattie, a farmer, became the first European to settle in the area when he staked out an 80-acre (32 ha) farm on the northern bank of the Nerang River, close to present-day Cavill Avenue. The farm proved unsuccessful and was sold in 1877 to German immigrant Johan Meyer, who turned the land into a sugar farm and mill. Meyer also had little luck growing in the sandy soil and within a decade had auctioned the farm and started a ferry service and built the Main Beach hotel. By 1889, Meyer's hotel had become a post receiving office and subdivisions surrounding it were named Elston, named by the Southport postmaster after his wife's home in Southport, Lancashire, England. The Main Beach Hotel licence lapsed after Meyer's death in 1901 and for 16 years Elston was a tourist town without a hotel or post office.
The boom of the 1950s and 1960s was centred on this area and the first of the tall apartment buildings were constructed in the decades that followed. Little remains of the early vegetation or natural features of the area and even the historical association of the beachfront development with the river is tenuous. The early subdivision pattern remains, although later reclamation of the islands in the Nerang River as housing estates, and the bridges to those islands, have created a contrast reflected in subdivision and building form. Some early remnants survived such as Budd's Beach — a low-scale open area on the river which even in the early history of the area was a centre for boating, fishing and swimming.
Some minor changes have occurred in extending the road along the beachfront since the early subdivision and The Esplanade road is now a focus of activity, with supporting shops and restaurants. The intensity of activity, centred on Cavill, Orchid and Elkhorn Avenues, is reflected in the density of development. Of all places on the Gold Coast the buildings in this area constitute a dominant and enduring image visible from as far south as Coolangatta and from the mountain resorts of the hinterland.

A WWW (Wild Welsh Weather) day in Tenby today, with high winds, grey skies and rain. I did however manage to grab a few shots before the rain came down too hard.
What do you think of the muted tones I used here? I think it better represents the weather conditions at the time.

67/365: It's only 9:00 but it feels like midnight to me. Here is our large bookcase thing, assembled and partly filled with books. There are boxes everywhere. The press shop is getting set up in the sunniest upstairs room, which makes me happy. But my foot aches from standing and walking around so much today, and my shoulder still bothers me. I hate this falling-apart body sometimes.
I found myself in the old neighborhood from my early childhood in DC (before New Orleans). This might be familiar to some, an old fire alarm box that was commonly on about every three blocks or so; there was no 911 back then. In the distance across the street is seen the police call box. Now conversion to Yuppie planters......

As the Floyd said "She will take it back someday".
A few moths ago and before the last large storm there was another house between the yellow and beige ones. Now the missing house is bits and pieces scatters along the beach. Man seems to think he can tam the ocean when in reality he can only postpone the inevitable.

Our creative team walked into the Icehouse the day of the shoot with a couple of general ideas and themes that we could try, leaving ourselves open to improvisation. When we saw the 6th-level floor that had just been jackhammered days before, I knew that we could incorporate that into our theme. Her look was created with a vintage dress and cape. The hair and makeup was dramatic, yet retained an ethereal look. With a unique setting and the creative talents of the team we were able to produce an image that invokes feelings of drifting into a surreal dreamscape… a surrender to another world… an oneiric reclamation.

Lately I’ve been using photography and self portraiture to explore the process of examining, removing and reclaiming identities. This portrait so sums up how I’ve felt doing this work.
There’s an Amanda Palmer lyric, “I see my mother in my face,” and in this image I look eerily like my late mother. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about her choices to join a cult in her early 20s and to raise a family in that environment. It’s a choice I try to examine with compassion, and to understand what healing she may have sought in her choices. I only wish she had not been tricked into giving up her agency in life as she sought her healing.
And that’s been a powerful lesson for me as I’ve left that old life behind. We are deserving of healing and happiness, and no one should ever hold sway over our lives in exchange for those things.
So as we move into the new year I am asking where in my life I feel a lack of agency, and how I can move to reclaim power over those places.
What are you looking to reclaim as we move into the new year?
An old boiler, rusting, slowly being reclaimed by Mother Nature. Ashes to ashes...entropic.
