G-EZNM, Awaiting its fate during the recycling process at Kemble. Much of the aircraft has already been repurposed and reused as spares.
Airbus A319 was G-EZNM on 01/03/2005 until 01/22/2010 becoming HB-JZU with Easyjet Switzerland before rejoining the UK fleet on 03/09/2016. Retired and stored 10/2021 at Kemble to be scrapped.
At the end of an airliners lifecycle they dont just get left to rot.
All reuseable parts are either removed for reuse in other airliners, or rempved and repurposed in a multitude of ways, then the remainer is recycled in an envirenmentally manner, nothing escapes the process.
A prosperous establishment of the early 1870's, with an elegant Mansard roof, small tower and iron grillwork. Sign of the growth associated with the construction of the Third Welland Canal (1871-1882). Its neighbour, 325 St. Paul St., is a well maintained example of the same period
My three previous posts have shown views of the south side of Virginia's Courthouse Square as seen from the southwest corner of the block. This photograph shows the first four buildings on the block's southeast corner. Although I took this photo in 2015, the buildings are basically unchanged today.
The most interesting of these structures is the old drugstore, which cleverly had been repurposed as a cafe and live entertainment venue known as Dr. Ugs. Sadly, Dr. Ugs closed earlier this year (2021).
The "drugstore" building was constructed in 1897, replacing an earlier structure consumed in the same fire on the south side of the square that destroyed the Farmers National Bank Building, which preceded the Robertson "Tower" Building shown in my three previous posts. The new "drugstore" building was constructed for a furniture store that expanded into selling caskets, along with providing undertaking services for local funeral homes. While this may sound a bit odd today, it was not unusual for furniture stores in the late 19th and early 20th century to sell caskets, and even provide undertaking services.
In 1939, the furniture store was repurposed as the first of three drug stores to occupy these premises. Later on, the building became the home of two bars and the now shuttered Dr. Ugs. The building is currently (September 2021) up for sale.
Virginia, the seat of Cass County, is located in West Central Illinois. The estimated population of Virginia in 2019 was 1,435.
Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.
What do you do with an old copper bowl that has a hole in it? Some people might fix the hole.
Or, you can make the hole bigger and turn it into a small sink.
My wonderful SIL created gift bags this year and mailed them early with requests to “open” them!! They are sewn from quilt squares and the back side is red felt— isn’t she clever? The next picture in the photostream shows some of the things that were in the bag!

I reused my grandmother's wedding ring as my wedding ring. It didn't bring much luck.
Ik heb de trouwring van mijn oma hergebruikt als mijn trouwring. Het bracht niet veel geluk.
for "Looking close... on Friday!" theme: reusable or recycled
plastic pots can be used multiple times for planting/repotting flowers, they are durable and easy to use, maybe not very pretty but as an insert for a ceramic pot they are perfect
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
My DD was painting outside and used a plastic mini quiches container as a mixing pallet. It was left outside and various bugs wandered in and got stuck. The orange paint pot was the most popular…..
Anyhow I used my cloning skills in the app Retouch and made it prettier!! Will put the buggy original in the first comment box in a bit
So I was out running errands and spotted this! If I was a true recycler, I would have scooped it up to reuse- right?
This is for the revitalized Trash Talk Tuesday group— this time on FB. Join us if you’d like by spotting and photographing trash and posting it there. Archived photos are welcomed.
One of the first storefront churches that inspired this documentation project yet it's taken years to get a photo of it.

Reusing another old pic because no one loves to paint as much as Frances the artist does.
Frances was adopted in 2018 and moved to Australia.

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.
