SEE MONSTER is a retired rig from the North Sea, transformed into one of the UK’s largest public art installations to inspire global conversations about reuse, renewables and the great British weather.
Voyaging from the far reaches of the North Sea, SEE MONSTER has endured blustery winds and roaring waves as it encircled the UK coast in search of a new home. After a lifetime weathering the stormy seas, the retired rig has been reborn at shore in the former 1930s lido, the Tropicana. Audiences from far and wide flocked to the beach to welcome SEE MONSTER, the wild beast that has never been seen before…
By the Autumn of 2022, having been transformed along its journey, the weather-beaten monster came alive in Weston-super-Mare, as a colossal manifestation of all it has witnessed along its journey around the turbulent coast. The reawakened entity is a joyous celebration of the great British weather and British eccentricity, presenting a new vision for what the monster could become. As a pioneer towards a greener future, SEE MONSTER explores the concept of inherited structures, be those physical, social, or environmental. What do we do with the structures we inherit? And what actions can they inspire?
guests will pass behind the thrashing cascade of a 10-metre waterfall, and under the shimmering scales into the cavernous underbelly of the beast…
With the opportunity to travel up and inside, you will pass behind the thrashing cascade of a 10-metre waterfall, and under the shimmering scales into the cavernous underbelly of the beast… Within the wild garden you will find hidden routes to explore the rehabilitated Monster, where embedded throughout will be new approaches to a more sustainable and greener future. You may find yourself engulfed within a playful collection of clouds. Whatever the weather, SEE MONSTER will encourage interaction and playfulness at the heart of Britain’s cultural cornerstone: creating the sense of children gleefully jumping in puddles, whilst adults grumble at drizzly grey skies and strangers bond over something mutually shared.
As a creation of new from old, the regeneration of the rig, transformed from its former life, will champion the role of reuse and creativity within our future.
SEE MONSTER is part of UNBOXED: Creativity in the UK. A once-in-a-lifetime celebration of creativity, taking place across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and online from March to November 2022.
47519 + 47328 + 37010 at Wigan CRDC. With all reusable componants removed the last few locos await removal to CF Booths Rotherham. With the mass withdrawal of older diesel classes by EWS during the late 90's, Springs Branch became the main component recovery & distribution centre with the influx of class 66's taking over most freight throughout the country. By 2005 EWS had finished stripping locomotives and removed all the remaining demics by road to Booths.
If i recall a lot of the 37/0's here had returned from France and were now surplus to requirements along with railfreight and ex RFD 47'0s & 3's. As EWS soldiered on with RES 47/7's, most of the remaining 47/4's & 5's were also withdrawn.
Reuses a former Finast / Tops grocery store. Tops closed here in 2005 (a year before Tops closed all Ohio stores). Then this was Stein Mart (closed 2012). Earth Fare opened here in 2013. This store was DEAD when I visited but was nice inside.

Crochet pattern for a reusable (and eco-friendly) swiffer cover. Use the textured side for the dry mop and then reverse it to use the other side to wet mop.
With apologies to Tom! I couldn't get close to copying your McCafe shot but here's my alternative coffee, albeit, the reusable cup came home with me from Florida ~ unused!!

11/2016 - Crews being stripped down NS 3431 SD40-2 for rebuild. This unit was built for KCS in 1968 as an SD40 and rebuilt in 1993 as an SD40-2 at Juniata. Only the frame, trucks, fuel tank, and part of the long hood will be reused in its rebuild to SD33ECO NS 6215.
Logo on the plastic bag in which our carryout order from Culver's Restaurant (in Nies, Michigan) was delivered. It needs to be stressed that "resuable" and "recyclable" are far from the same thing. The bag was manufactured by Command Packaging (of Vernon, California), a company that touts their "environmentally friendly" products.

What I'd assume is a former NYCRR code pole above the tunnel/ROW at Breakneck Ridge, now serves as a trail marker for the trail. Some insulators still remain on the pole as well.
In an attempt to save money and resources graygoosie and I walked to the store to refill our water bottles.
Maholo for reusing!

The bird feeders I had always let the food get wet, so I recycled an old water fountain belonging to Max, and fashioned a way to hold a tray of food inside. It took the robin about half a day to work it out, and the tits about two days. But it works, the small birds can eat their fill of the now-dry food, and the larger birds ignore it... maybe something to do with the glass butterfly ornament I have fastened on top... it wobbles in the breeze and stops them from landing on it.
Philadelphia Water and a broad group of partners interested in protecting our rivers, parks and planet gathered on the Schuylkill River on Friday, Oct. 23 to announce a new network of drinking water stations along the Schuylkill River Trail. The water bottle filling stations/fountains will help fight pervasive single-use water bottle litter found along the Schuylkill River by making it easy to use refillable bottles. Philadelphia Water also partnered with Head of the Schuylkill Regatta to give away over 12,000 reusable water bottles.
Speakers and guests included: Mayor Michael Nutter, Councilman Curtis Jones, Jr’s Chief of Staff, Josh Cohen, Deputy Mayor for Environmental and Community Resources Michael DiBerardinis, Philadelphia Water Commissioner Howard Neukrug, Chair of the Schuylkill Navy River Stewards Committee Alan Robinson, Captain of the Water Initiative for the HOSR Deirdre Mullen, Commodore of the Schuylkill Navy Paul Horvat, President/Co-director of Head of the Schuylkill Regatta Ellen Carver.
4th Grade Students from FS Edmonds Elementary School also took the #DrinkTapPHL pledge to “Choose to Reuse” and were given refillable bottles to take home.
This store was originally a Britt's discount store that later became Kmart until 2003. This building has since been subdivided into Best Buy, Dunham's, and T.J.Maxx. Of the three only Best Buy does not have direct mall access.
The Findlay Village Mall opened in 1962 with a JCPenney and Britt's discount store as anchors. Sears built a store in 1963. In the late 1980s the mall underwent a major renovation that involved adding a new wing with an Elder-Beerman store and reusing the old Britt's store as a Kmart. In 2003 the mall lost Kmart (now Best Buy, Dunham's, and T.J.Maxx)and Sears closed in March 2014. Currently many sections of the mall have a notable amount of vacancies.

since I have been back in Georgia, I have been quite amazed by the very decentralized and non-organized efforts to recycle and reuse. There is much less trash then before, and partially that is because of the city hall's efforts, but a lot of it is due to the poverty. Poverty is not a laughing matter and all of those people deserve a better life. But it's intriguing how bottles get recycled and reused. And, not just bottles, anything that can be reused, is reused. People dig through garbage looking for bottles, men with carts walk around looking for empty bottles. This man was collecting aluminum cans and flattening them. I am not sure what he needed them for, but him doing that, is probably better than those cans being in the garbage.
On the other note, I remember around Christmas time, one of the Russian TV channels ran an ad for the "most civilized" vessel, aluminum can. I remember hearing that Germany banned aluminum cans as they are supposedly an environmental desaster... It's funny how civilization works...

Kennedy Jr., Blind Boys of Alabama, Duke Ellington, Rev. C. L. Franklin, Howlin' Wolf, Joe May, Peck Curtis, Joe Willie Wilkins, Raymond Hill
• If I put new furniture or change the rooms, it would not appear to be the place the musicians stayed. That’s the way the building was built. It stays like that. If I change it, I might as well close them doors because people want it that way. -Frank Ratliff, Edge Boston

• Clarksdale-born Ike Turner rehearsed his band & recorded demos at the Riverside • their landmark song "Rocket 88" was credited to Jackie Brenston (1930-1979) and his Delta Cats, who were actually Ike Turner's Kings of Rhythm with Turner on piano
• versions of song's origins have Brenston as writer or Ike Turner writing the song with or without Brenston, either at the Riverside Hotel and/or on the road: We started writing the song in the car. By the time we got to Memphis, we was almost finished writing it, and we finished writing it in the studio. It took me 10 or 15 minutes to put the music together. - Ike Turner, We Like Ike, 2001
• produced by Sam Phillips (1923-2003), Memphis Recording Service • released by Chess Records, Chicago, Chess 1458, 03-05-51 • Phillips claimed "Rocket 88" first ever rock 'n roll record • others hold differing opinions • Brenston said song based on 1947 Jimmy Liggins hit, Cadillac Boogie (2:39): If you listen to the two songs, you'll find out they're both basically the same.

• 26 Sep, 1937, "Empress of the Blues" Bessie Smith (1894-1937), died in Ward 1 of G.T. Thomas Hospital, now Riverside Hotel's Rm 2 • the 5'9"/200 lb. artist's career had been in decline, her popularity having crested c. 1929 • in midst of a comeback, was featured performer in E. S. Winstead's touring tent-show, Broadway Rastus • listen: I'm Wild About that Thing, 1929 (2:50)
• in early AM, she had been en route to a performance in Darling, MS when critically injured in a car crash • 10 mi. N of Clarksdale on Hwy. 61, her old wood-framed Packard collided with a slow-moving truck • at the wheel was her lover, Richard Morgan, ex-bootlegger associated with Al Capone & uncle of jazz musician Lionel Hampton • Morgan uninjured • truck driver fled scene
• white surgeon Dr. Hugh Smith & fishing buddy Henry Broughton soon came upon wreck • Dr. Smith attended Bessie; Broughton set out to call for ambulance • the patient went into shock; Dr. Smith decided to drive her to Clarksdale himself • before he could move the unconscious singer to his parked vehicle, a car crashed into it • driver and passenger injured • an ambulance & a hearse finally arrived, almost simultaneously, one responding to Broughton's call, the other to truck driver's.
• 11 Nov, 1937, Down Beat magazine ran story by John Hammond (1910-1987), crusader for racial equality & Bessie's record producer • claimed she died in Memphis of blood loss after whites-only hospital refused to treat her • no evidence to support story • local ambulance crew would know not to try white hospital: See, they didn’t send no ambulance to get a colored person in those days. Just a hearse so they wouldn’t have to make two trips if the person just happened to die on the way to the hospital. After Bessie died, newspaper up North said she was refused at the white hospital, but that makes no sense. -"Rat" Ratliff (told to John Rogers, 2012)
• African American hearse driver Willie George Miller rushed Bessie Smith to (black) G.T. Thomas Hospital where her arm was amputated • she died, hours later, at 11:30 AM • nevertheless, the counterfactual story blaming Smith's death on racism went viral, reiterated by news & entertainment media, e.g., Edward Albee's 1960 play, The Death of Bessie Smith • the myth continues to circulate
• Dr. Hugh Smith's 1971 eyewitness account of accident, audio download (43:01) • video: Blues Legend Bessie Smith's only film appearance, 1929 2-reel short, St. Louis Blues (15:47) — singing begins at 6:49 • The Death of Bessie Smith by Chris Albertson, author of 1972 bio, Bessie • Who Killed Bessie Smith? -American Blues Scene • Chris Albertson interview -Jerry Jazz Musician • Stomp Off
• Broadway Rastus, Bessie Smith's last engagement, was vaudeville review created in 1915 by black actor/writer/producer/director Irwin C. Miller (1884-1975) • lead character Rastus "Broadway" King, always scheming to make easy money, played by Miller in blackface • versions of show ran through 1928, occasionally performed for white audiences
• "They proved that that a first-class colored show can get by in the South. The people are good-looking and young, have good wardrobe on and off, and their ability is second to none; in fact the company could give pointers to many attractions that have played the city this season. The show is in two acts and sixteen scenes, all of which is provided with especially-bui)t scenery. A cast of forty people makes up the company, and it includes... Irvin C. Miller himself." -A. Jackson, 1921 review of Broadway Rastus New Orleans performance in Billboard magazine
• Broadway Rastus purchased by Fayetteville, NC producer Emerson Stowe Winstead (1893-1943), owner of Winstead's Mighty Minstrels (c. 1931-1955) • performers from show appeared in 1947 film, Pitch a Boogie Woogie • poster • video: The Making Of... (58:47) — movie begins at 16:22 • list of entertainers who appeared in blackface
• Bessie Smith performed in Winstead's minstrel show in early 30s • returned to star in his fateful 1937 edition of Broadway Rastus • contract said to have been for $700/wk + 5% of gate
• 7000 fans attended Bessie Smith's funeral • though she had been highest paid black enterainer of the day, estranged husband, security guard Jack Gee, said to have allowed grave to go unmarked • in 1970, singer Janis Joplin — who idolized Smith — partnered with an NAACP official to provide a tombstone
• They say Bessie died because no hospital would take her, but that’s not right at all. They brought her here, right here, laid her up in the front room of the hospital. -Frank "Rat" Ratliff (1943 - 2013)

This is an acrylic painting. Recycle Reuse Renew, painted on a piece of cardboard. I think everyone has at least one thing they can "be better" at. I have many and I work on them regularly. Being perfect or the best is never the goal for me. Being better today than I tried to be yesterday is a definite goal. Having a little sign that reminds me is a good thing. What do you think?
...complete with super powers (saving the environment one plastic bag at a time).
The most awesome reusable shopping bags ever.
