This has been sitting on my desk since February. Trying to fossilize but failed.
I had successfully fossilized such Mandarin Oranges perfectly by placing them on a big computer CRT monitors that generate heat enuf to remove moisture from them. I kept 2 for almost 10 years. Unfortunately, the fossilized oranges were destroyed by cigarette beetles.
Now with LCD/LED monitor there is no heat to leverage on to fossilize them.
I've been a bit busy the last weeks or so and not had much time for photography or Flickr. I will try to catch up with all your wonderful uploads. On my recent trip to London, I saw this old piano outside a building looking very sorry for itself. Loved the rotten wooden keys against the greenery surrounding it.
Really appreciate all your comments and favourites.

“Walnuts have a shell, and they have a kernel. Religions are the same. They have an essence, but then they have a protective coating. This is not the only way to put it. But it’s my way. So the kernels are the same. However, the shells are different.” ~ Huston Smith
Huston Cummings Smith (May 31, 1919 – December 30, 2016) was an influential scholar of religious studies in the United States. He authored at least thirteen books on world's religions and philosophy.

this is almost a secret lighthouse, hard to get to and difficult to photograph...
Rotten Island Lighthouse is another beautiful hidden gem of engineering on the Irish coast, and lies at the mouth of Killbegs Harbour in County Donegal. The name is a English corruption of the Irish name 'Naomh Rotain' (Saint Rotain), a monk reputed to have lived as a hermit on the small island. The island measures 150m by 50m and its dangerous location led to the construction of the granite lighthouse in 1838, which stands 20m high. The lighthouse was designed by George Halpin who also designed it's sister lighthouse on the adjacent headland on St John's Point. The robust boundary wall around the structure creates an imposing military character, but was built to protect the lighthouse keepers dwellings. The Island was occupied until the early 1960s, when the last lighthouse keeper left following conversion to an automated electrical system.
The whole scene seemed kind of allegoric for the way in which synthetic waste takes its toll on the natural environment. I guess the banana skins are alright, but not so much the polystyrene and plastic bottles.
This was taken during one of Toronto's garbage strikes. I'm guessing (hoping) the city isn't usually like this.
