I love when we repurpose things, instead of just tossing everything into a landfill.

This acid bottle was salvaged from a university chem lab's trash many years ago. It has served us well ever since primarily as a doorstop, but occasionally as a photo prop, and certainly as a conversation piece. No worries, the liquid inside is just colored water...

52 in 2017 Challenge: #16, Waste
Do you know what it is to be here? Simultaneously wrapped up in your own fears and dreams that together wrought a metal too heavy to be anything other than this foreboding chain.
(Or launching spring.)
Do you know what it is to be free?
(I do.)

We stopped along the interstate between Texarkana and New Boston, Texas. This repurposed gas station was across the street from where we parked.

I thought I'd be able to find some info about this place online, but I couldn't. There weren't any other buildings left except this one. Someone is using it for storage.

Of all the galleries that i have seen so far, this one is my favorite. All the Art inside and out have been repurposed from other things. I am pretty amazed at this one...how, and where did they get all these license plates!!??? i always thought you had to turn them in if you got new ones!!! i also wonder how they got the road reflector thingies to make the sun!!! i wonder if some roads are missing theirs!
Inside they have signs made ..by slicing the letters up and the numbers and then jumbling the different states to spell words. I love them...they are colorful and fun messages, mounted on pallet wood!
At some point i am going to get the courage to show them some of my things...and maybe get to display in there. I always see so many thing i would love to decorate with in that store!!
On the license plates in this mural they have embedded the name of the store. As many times as i have been there or passed it, i never noticed it until the day i went to edit this shot!!
If you scan it and are even a smidgen more aware of things than i am, you will probably find it right away! :)
Have a wonderful Memorial Day. Remember the WHY of your day off...and give thanks! :)

The United States Post Office in Danville, Kansas is located inside of an old filling/service station. Probably the most unique building that I have seen a post office in. Pentax K3iii Monochrome.
This is part of the vintage treasure repurposed into a planter series I featured on my blog www.poetichome.com
The pavilion at the Portage Lakefront Unit of Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
The depression in the foreground used to be an "acid lake," a dumping ground for the adjacent steel mill. (The U.S. Steel mill is still there, but waste disposal times have changed.)
Turning this site into a national park unit never fails to impress my students when I take them here.
can't wait to take this thing home to california with me and fill it lots of happy memorabilia + instax photos!
One of my favourite and most characterful Washington DC buildings was for long known as the Old Post Office and Clock Tower. Designed in an unabashed Romanesque Revival style by Willoughby J. Edbrooke, it was completed in 1899. It served briefly as the city’s main post office, then becoming used by other government departments after 1914. Demolition threatened on several occasions, during the 1930s when the Federal Triangle was constructed, and again in the 1970s when the building stood vacant. A new chapter opened in 2013, when the Government Services Agency leased the building to the DJT Holdings LLC consortium. That’s DJT as in Donald J. Trump, who duly oversaw the building’s transformation into a luxury hotel that had his name emblazoned on it. In 2022, DJT relinquished control, and new owners renamed the hotel as the Waldorf Astoria Washington DC.
