I remember when I first started at New Mexico State University in 1995 seeing the Roadrunner at its original home at the city dump. We used it as a landmark while dove hunting.
I didn't know it had been rebuilt several times over the years.
A sadly common sight on the streets of Hong Kong; elderly people pushing around trolleys piled with cardboard for recycling, to make a little bit of money.
This timber timber structure, perched comfortably above the highest flood levels at Cuttagee Lake, NSW Far South Coast, has been a lakeside feature for several years.

A view of the Colosseum almost by evening.
The shadows were gathering fast; the crowd of tourists was as noisy as ever and I was trying to take a meaningful capture of the amphitheater- something different from the usual, something telling at least a part of the story of the place; something which was not too similar to a messy, unwilled group shot.
The paragraph of the story of the Colosseum I have chosen is interesting - the shot... well, I hope it is worth the effort.
The fact leaves me gaping every time I think about it: for centuries the inhabitants of Rome (and the Popes as well) has been using the Colosseum as a travertine quarry at their fingertips. They took away stone upon stone from the amphitheater, to reuse them in the construction of other buildings.
In our modern times we stress a lot the issue of recycling, but our sense of history makes us preserving historical heritage, while recycling our contemporary waste. However, so much of what we build and produce - even our architecture - will not be so long-lasting to be part of the history of our posterity :-(.

Some structures used for one theme lend themselves to be recycled/reused/repurposed for other themes/scenes. Why waste a good structure when it can be utilized for another scene?
What actually happens with the initial scene/diorama is that pieces get raided out when needed for newer builds. In this case the basic structure slowly got deconstructed in a couple of stages which lent it to be used for post-apocalyptic scenes...

Recycling day. I am happy to be recycling but it's not enough. I watched a film titled "Home" last night. It's am important message that needs to be seen and heard and acted upon.
Eugene, Oregon.

I was really impressed and intrigued by this fellas retrofit and homemade moped.
I respect the work these people do. They have a great role in the recovery of many wastes that we see as garbage. At the same time, they are free-spirited people who have managed to be their own boss.
I have a lot of used iron parts, little and large parts. This is one of the little guy's I made of it.
Posted for the ANSH round 68 #9.
A modular recycling symbol, my design from 2021. Mathematically speaking, it is a Möbius strip. Folded from three units, each forming one corner of the triangle, and having the arrow at the starting end. A variant with arrows in the center of the unit is possible, and units of that form could with little modification be connected into polyhedra like the Simple Edge Unit.

This is one of the scene's I remember really clear! I saw him kicking a bottle accros the street, and then he shouted something to his mom in french. This was my signal to aim my camera at him. Then he jumped. I can't remember if he even landed,... I just walked away re-checking my camera settings to see if I had it. For the next 5 minutes I must have drove my girlfriend mad talking about this shot. :-)
So If you have seen any flat bottles in Avignon, it has probably been this kid.

I was sitting at my computer and I heard the truck stop and it just sat there.. I thought it would move on but it didn't so I grabbed the camera went and opened the garage door and got off a couple of shots before he moved on.. Haven't a clue what he was waiting for but at least it gave me a photo opp... Happy Truck Thursday, Everybody!!!
This little guy had fallen into my recycling bin. When I brought him outside to let him go he ran out of the bin and straight back into my garage. I guess I should have closed the door first!

On the Ferry back from Dublin, another shoot, during which I took some personal pictures that captured my attention.
What was it here? I guess the colours, neatly ordered?
Whatever it was... trendy!
We'll save the world yet, LOL

Recently I noticed a wasp working at some nests high up in the brick mortar near the surfeiting of our house. I climbed up on a small ladder, and could hardly believe what I was seeing when I looked through the camera lens. The wasp was gathering material from the old nests, rolling it up into a ball and flying off with it, obviously to a new nest somewhere.
I don't know the exact species, but I think it's one of the potter wasps.
In the main photo she is just ready to fly off with the material. Click on the photos in the first comment box to see them in high resolution.
This caught my eye as wandered along the Thames path, and i thought a perfect scene to give my 10 stopper an airing from its box. These are the conveyors from a concrete recycling facility, whereby ships take on board used concrete from demolished buildings that has been crushed into ballast for use within foundations for new structures….money for old rope my grandad would have said!
The Danforth, a.k.a. Greektown, is one of Toronto's most popular neighbourhoods for entertainment with its numerous restaurants, pubs, cafes, and patios.
With garbage or recycling set out (alternate Tuesday evenings) for Wednesday collection, I have always thought restaurants should offer a discount to Tuesday diners.
This week is recycling - less unpleasant than garbage week which can really stink. Patio pollution?
