Some of the contents of a large plastic box in our kitchen drawer where we put our recyclable items such as plastic bottles, magazines, flyers, food tins and drink cans. When it's full I take it out to the garage & tip everything in a big wheelie bin. This gets collected by a private company fortnightly, the other week they take our actual rubbish (trash) away, thankfully we don't produce much of that so often that wheelie bin only goes out once a month. Glass has to be taken to a bottle bank. I use to take gardening & bird watching magazines to our GP surgery for others to read but those days are gone.
We compost all our newspapers, cardboard packaging/toilet rolls etc & I reuse suitable plastic food trays to stand plant pots in. All available windowsills currently have trays with small pots containing tomato/chilli/pepper/courgette & sweetcorn seedlings, waiting for the current cold snap to pass so I can plant them out in the polytunnel.
For Macro Mondays theme "Trash" HMM!
My local grocery store, Harmon's, has a pretty concerted program to eliminate plastic grocery bags and replace them with reusable ones like this. They even give a five cent credit on your bill for each bag you use.
I'm not a big fan of these cheaper ones and use canvas tote bags so often given as premiums on PBS and NPR. They work very well and don't tear like the single use plastic ones do.
... laundry netbag and makeup remover pads.
The purpose - where I start -
is the idea of USE.
It is not recycling, it's REUSE.

HMM… the them for today, 4/23 the day after earth day, is plastic. how smart to cause us think about how we use plastics and more importantly what we do when we’re done with them or how can we cut down the useage of the one-time use things that litter our oceans and our lands.
Building 17, RCA Victor Company, Camden Plant (also known as the Nipper Building) was constructed in 1909 for the Victor Talking Machine Company for the construction of victrola cabinets. It was designed by Ballinger & Perrot. The tower was noted for its four stained glass windows depicting Nipper the dog. These windows were removed by RCA when they did away with the victrola and dog as their trademark in 1969. The company replaced the windows in 1979, but by 1986 they had fallen into disrepair again. They were replaced again in 2003 when the building was converted into condominiums. The building is on the National Register of Historic Places #02001253 and also in the National Register listed Cooper-Grant historic district #87002229.
Here we are - at our first ever Portland Oregon morsbags pod meeting. Morsbags are reusable cloth shopping bags. Read more about them at morsbags.com
These are grocery bags that have a second life doing "you know what". When the dogs hear me pull out a "poobag" they know it's time for a walk! So it's a double effort....I reuse the bags and I clean up after my dogs.

THE WAR ON WASTE...please People, help relieve landfill by using a reusable mug. Takeaway mugs are not recyclable because of the plastic lining so it all goes to landfill...millions of tonnes of it....this mug came from Officeworks...BPA free white plastic, has the green band so that you can hold it while hot. There are many more in various stores.
This mug is an 8oz size, not too big to carry with you in case you feel like a takeaway coffee...many bistros are happy to give a discount.

ENGLISH:
The Alcazaba (Arabic: القصبة) is a palatial fortification in Málaga, Spain. It was built by the Hammudid dynasty in the early 11th century.
It is the best-preserved alcazaba (from the Arabic al-qasbah, قصبة, meaning "citadel") in Spain. Adjacent to the entrance of the Alcazaba are remnants of a Roman theatre dating to the 1st century BC, which are undergoing restoration. Some of the Roman-era materials were reused in the Moorish construction of the Alcazaba.
Ferdinand and Isabella captured Málaga from the Moors after the Siege of Málaga (1487), one of the longest sieges in the Reconquista, and raised their standard at the "Torre del Homenaje" in the inner citadel.
The Alcazaba of Málaga is the prototype of military architecture in the Taifa period, with its double walls and massive entry fortifications. Its only parallel is the castle of Krak des Chevaliers in Syria.
The Alcazaba of Málaga is built on a hill in the centre of the city, overlooking the port, and comprises two walled enclosures. It was formerly connected to the city ramparts which formed a third defensive wall but only two inner walls remain. The first, built around the topography of the hill, completely encloses the second inner area and is dotted with defensive towers.
The outer citadel entrance is through a gateway called "Puerta de la Bóveda" (Vault Gate), but nowadays it can also be accessed by an elevator. The entrance gate doubles back on itself, a design intended to make progress difficult for attacking forces.
The pathway winds up through gardens, with a number of elaborate fountains, passing the gateways of Puerta de las Columnas (Gate of the Columns), which reuses materials from the Roman ruins, and renamed Torre del Cristo (Tower of Christ) which turns at right angles to again impede the progress of attackers, The "Torre del Cristo" once served as a chapel.
The inner enclosure can only be accessed through the Puerta de los Cuartos de Granada (Gate of the Granada Quarters) which acts as the defence for the western side of the palace. On the eastern side is the Torre del Homenaje (Tower of Tribute) which is in a semi-ruinous state.
Inside the second wall is the Palace and some other dwellings which were built on three consecutive Andalusian patios during the 11th, 13th and 14th centuries. They include the Cuartos de Granada (Quarters of Granada) which served as the home of the kings and governors.

ESPAÑOL:
La alcazaba de Málaga (del árabe al-qaṣbah, قصبة, al kasbah, 'ciudadela') es una fortificación palaciega de la época musulmana, construida sobre una anterior fortificación de origen fenicio-púnico. Se encuentra en las faldas del monte Gibralfaro, en una posición elevada pero contigua y unida al centro histórico de la ciudad, lo que constituía la antigua madina de Mālaqa, y en cuya cumbre se halla el Castillo de Gibralfaro.
Ocupaba el extremo oriental del desaparecido recinto amurallado de la ciudad, de manera que los frentes de mediodía, poniente y norte quedaban a intramuros. Su superficie actual de 15.000 metros cuadrados no alcanza ni siquiera la mitad del tamaño que poseía en su época de esplendor, como demuestran los planos históricos conservados.
Prototipo de la arquitectura militar del periodo taifa, siglo XI, con su doble recinto amurallado y gran cantidad de fortificaciones, siendo su único paralelo el castillo del Crac de los Caballeros, fortaleza levantada en Siria por los Cruzados entre los siglos XII y XIII.
Situada a los pies del monte Gibralfaro donde está el Castillo defensivo árabe al que estaba unido por un pasillo resguardado por murallas llamado La Coracha; junto al Teatro romano y frente al edificio de la Aduana, es una oportunidad para ver en solo unos metros la unión de las culturas romana, árabe y renacentista, lo que hace a este rincón un lugar muy especial.
Construida entre 1057 y 1063 según los historiadores musulmanes a instancias del rey de taifas bereber de Granada, Badis ben Habús. En su construcción se emplearon materiales de acarreo y se reutilizaron piezas del anexo teatro romano, como columnas y capiteles.
Posteriormente llegan a Málaga los Almorávides en 1092 y los Almohades en 1146. En el 1279 la conquista Muhammad II Ben al-Ahmar y pasa al reino Nazarita. Su reforma le confiere una profunda impronta como edificación nazarí construida sobre la roca. Conjuga las necesidades de defensa y la belleza de un palacio árabe organizado a base de patios rectangulares y crujías en torno con sus jardines y estanques. Sus estancias que, en la tradición de la arquitectura granadina, buscan en los interiores la alternancia de luces y sombras para conseguir esos juegos que tan bien dominaron los alarifes musulmanes.
Su componente militar la hace una de las obras más importantes musulmanas conservada en España. Con matacanas, torres albarranas con saeteras y murallas almenadas como elementos defensivos, sin embargo su mejor defensa estaba en su situación, dominando desde sus balcones la ciudad y la bahía.
Photograph of the nearly completed vessel 'Mauretania' in September 1906.
The West shed used to build the “Mauretania” was 728 ft long x 95 ft wide x 130 ft high complete with a glass roof. It survived until 1959.
RMS MAURETANIA was one of the most famous ships ever built on Tyneside.

Vom Standpunkt der Qualitätsfotografie ist es natürlich ziemlich unvernünftig, so ein Gerät anzuschaffen, obwohl es in der abgebildeten Ausführung recht edel aussieht. Aber es gibt ja auch noch den Spaßfaktor und das kamerahistorische Interesse 😉
Die wenigen technischen Daten kann man direkt an der Kamera ablesen: Festblende 9, Brennweite 31 mm, "Focus-free"-lens (Fixfokus-Objektiv). Die Verschlusszeit steht auf der Verpackung: 1/120 Sekunde. Ferner sagt uns die Schachtel, dass diese "analoge Foto Kamera" für Farbe + Schwarz/Weiß geeignet ist. Komisch, ich hab immer gedacht, dass hängt mehr vom Film ab 😉
Diese Art von Aufnahmegerät scheint gerade ziemlich im Trend zu liegen, wie man auch hier und da sehen kann. Auch Kodak lässt auf so ein Ding seinen Namen drucken. Das Grundgerüst dieses Plastikapparates ist offensichtlich dasselbe wie bei den Einwegkameras, erkennbar an der Anordnung der Bedienelemente.
Man muss sicherlich nicht extra erwähnen, dass es ein Erzeugnis "made in China" ist.

I made heads with caps
that I used to knit .Although these caps were not well matched for me(anybody:)), so I wrapped caps around heads as the second trial hoping it's yours!

Don't think I've bought any new gift wrapping decorations for a long time (or paper, come to think of it!). Any product that comes with pretty ribbons or tape, especially ready-tied bows, I keep to be re-used.
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...
