Reuse It!

A very pleasant wander over a chilly Ingleborough. One of those occasions where I smugly trot down the iced up paths in my microspikes. I'm definitely going to fall on my face next time aren't I?
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.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album. Enjoy!
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!

Built in 1900 by the Chicago & Alton Railroad, the Jacksonville Station was near the midway point on the C&A's Chicago to Kansas City Route. A sign still hanging over the former station gives the distance to Chicago as being 216 miles, and to Kansas City as 273 miles.
Renovated in 1987, the structure is now an Italian restaurant.
WASHINGTON — The landmark 1899 post office tower on Pennsylvania Avenue — the second-tallest building in Washington — looked out of place in the Federal Triangle of neoclassical government buildings constructed mostly in the 1930s.
To complete the Triangle in an architecturally compatible style, the government wanted to tear it down, leaving only the building’s clock tower to rise above its replacement in homage to the Richardsonian Romanesque structure that would be no more.
The 1970 plan gave rise to Don’t Tear It Down, an organization (now the D.C. Preservation League) that successfully fought the demolition. Yet efforts to reuse the old building as offices for other federal agencies, with a ground-floor food court pavilion below the soaring nine-story atrium, also failed. The Old Post Office, a preservationist success, was a governmental flop, a federal white elephant saved from the wrecking ball — but for what?
In 2011, the General Services Administration, which owns and manages federal properties, invited interested parties to consider the prospects. More than 80 initially showed interest. Ultimately, 10 firms made formal proposals.
Last August, the agency signed a 60-year lease with the Trump Organization to renovate and convert the iconic building into a luxury hotel. Trump formally takes possession on Saturday, allowing work to begin on a $200 million makeover. The deal also includes two 20-year lease renewal options

Thank you for your comments and favourites.
Good news, my flare-up of severe Long Covid symptoms appears to have ended as suddenly as it started. Yesterday I actually felt 'normal' for the first time in just over two weeks. Just as the previous two occasions this has happened, the duration and severity of symptoms and the sudden onset and end are nearly identical. So bizarre. Hopefully it will be a few months before it happens again, like last time, though obviously I would prefer that it never happens at all.
Of course, the symptoms remain, but the difference in severity is enormous. I have to remember that while I 'feel' like I am back to normal, my normal now is not what it used to be and I have to be careful not to overdo it. I still have to micromanage my rest and recovery for everything that I do.
It's blissful not to feel and hear your own heart thumping irregularly and at just 30 beats per minute over and over again, non-stop, day after day. There must be a trigger to this repeating pattern of symptoms though. I just don't know what it is yet.
Take care everyone.
A fence I used once before. I use it again to christen a new lens, and because the fence pickings ain't so good in our neighborhood. Is anyone running fence tours?
HFF to all: Looking forward to seeing everyone's handiwork.
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.
Europe, The Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam Zuid, Afrikaanderbuurt, Tweebosbuurt, Demolition, Reuse, Trailer, Crane, Workers (uncut)
This is for the for now the last one of the Tweebosbuurt mini-series. It shows that modern demolition nowadays can be relatively resource-friendly. When possible metal is salvaged from the rubble. And bricks too. After removal of the cement traces, they’re reusable for renovation and new constructions – they’re often used for their rustic appearance.

The Arcade in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is a Victorian-era structure of two nine-story buildings, joined by a five-story arcade with a glass skylight spanning over 300 feet (91 m), along the four balconies. Erected in 1890, at a cost of $867,000, the Arcade opened on Memorial Day (May 31, 1890), and is identified as the first indoor shopping mall in the United States. The Arcade was modified in 1939, remodeling the Euclid Avenue entrance and adding some structural support.
The old Loggia Rucellai has been adapted with glass walls and is now an exhibition hall and shop for silver works by artists from Florence.
The loggia was built by Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai in the 1460s; it may have been designed by Leon Battista Alberti, but this attribution is disputed. Originally it was intended as a place for the Rucellai family to have weddings and other celebrations.
We’re very into the notion of reusable wrapping alternatives, so this is my back-up posting for Macro Mondays theme of wrapping. The actual chosen posting comes up next. .
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.
ANSH 123 (6) planet first for earth day
Everyday I remove the card from my camera and dump the photos on my computer, then put the card back into the camera for next day. So far just once did I pull out the camera to get the red flash of no card. The reusable card is also on my faux Autumn leaf that gets used each year for accent on mantel.
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
It takes nearly one hour of walking to reach this wreckage of a DC-3 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur. However, for a special wedding photo, this effort seems to be acceptable.

This one was ordered by me from Amazon in search of a smiley chair and photographed in a vintage retro building. The chair has since been reused as a pool tube smiling and sits happily while floating about when its summer.
Certainly one of the most remarkable reuse or recycle projects in New York City’s history is the Highline Park located on the lower western end of Manhattan from 34th street down to Gansevoort Street. As stated in previous postings about the Highline, what is the park today was once the New York Central’s three story high elevated railroad line which was the last elevated railroad line erected in New York City actually opened in 1934 as part of the Westside Improvement Project. The elevated tracks replaced street level tracks that had basically been in place since 1847, tracks that as the population continued to burgeon and grow became tracks of death, many pedestrians being run over by heavy freight trains that because of simple physics which still limit the ability to stop ‘on the dime’ caused many fatalities. Tenth Avenue became known as “Death Avenue” and the railroads were forced to hire men who mounted horses waving flags in front of the trains warning folk of the oncoming danger who were referred to as ‘Westside Cowboys’. These elevated tracks were different from the passenger tracks that had been built in the late 19th Century which ran over streets and by 1934 had been largely replaced by subway tunnels running beneath the streets as these literally ran through each building on the third story which allowed the trains to be loaded and unloaded from inside the building rather than an exterior loading dock. The brainchild of the beloved or hated (depending on how you view his legacy) Robert Moses, the NYCRR freight line continued in used until the 1980’s, way after the demise of the New York Central Railroad, though as industry continued its exodus from lower Manhattan, the use by 1970-1980’s was very limited. There it sat with New York City targeting it form demolition, the vegetation overgrowing the rails when Peter Obletz who was a resident of Chelsea which the tracks run right through challenged the demolition in court. In 1999, two residents of the neighborhood around the tracks, Joshua David and Robert Hammond founded the Friends of the Highline. This organization advocated the repurposing of the tracks aka the Highline by proposing a park. The tracks were at the time property of CSX which chose to donate a portion to the city, design proposals came in and the summer of 2009 the first section opened. It since has been completed running the entire length 1.45 miles from 34th Street to Gansevoort Street which a few of the old building where the tracks ran through have been saved and repurposed so you can walk through them.
This image is of one of those buildings, at night the lighting gives the Highline an almost futuristic look despite that its origin is totally in the past. Some other images of the Highline

U's (four & a half y-o) teacher was absent & NOT replaced so he stayed home with me. On this pic, he was doing the lacing cards I had made last year, re-using bits of cardboard, and pencils. (and a puncher, obviously !) (Jan. 26th 2009)
