I have three large clay pots filled with fabulous pinecones in my garden. Today I discovered that I now have a compost heap in one of the pots. Love nature.
Fascinating bit of decay in the old railroad repair shop, which also was a repository for millions of sheets of paper records. The roof has rotted into a spider web, so it has been pouring water onto these file cabinets for decades. As a result, the metal is peeling apart like an onion and the paper is turning back into pulp.
It’s remarkable to think of all the hours spent writing, typing and archiving this stuff by hand — it’s mostly from the pre-computer era.
Walt Disney Concert Hall. Downtown Los Angeles, CA.
Wikipedia page about it seen here.
Large panoramic stitch. Tried to minimize and correct the distortion as best as I could.
for Our Daily Challenge 'Fresh Garbage can you make it beautiful in a picture?' So a pause for photography on the way to the compost pile.
Natural composting continuing the cycles and recycles of big biowaste products... in this case pygmy elephant shit. In the rainforest of Sabah, Malaysia on the island of Borneo (Let's all do our part! recycle, reuse, reclaim)
Compost sign in Greyfriars Kirkyard, Edinburgh.

In the dark recesses of my compost heap (where the sun never shines), I found this snail trying to escape her/his compost making duties.
Just think of the effort in trying to pull your house through that crack.
While I went to find my tripod, it disappeared -- presumably back into the heap.
With all the wet weather recently the springtails have been out in force. I found this Dicrytomina saundersi on top of the compost bin.

All’interno della città dell’Aquila si trova il Castello, una poderosa fortezza a pianta quadrata con possenti bastioni angolari e circondato da una ampio fossato.
Si accede attraverso un ponte di pietra fino all’ingresso che presenta un prezioso portale in pietra sormontato dallo stemma di Carlo V. Lo spessore della muratura va da 10 metri alla fondazione fino ai 5 della sommità, l’altezza totale è di 30 metri.
Il Forte Spagnolo fu eretto per volere di Don Pedro di Toledo, nominato viceré nel 1532 durante la dominazione spagnola nell’Italia meridionale, e progettato dall’architetto spagnolo Pirro Aloisio Scivà.
Mai utilizzato nel corso di importanti operazioni militari, fu gravemente danneggiato nell’ultimo conflitto mondiale e oggi, ristrutturato è sede del Museo Nazionale d'Abruzzo.
Submitted for competition themed "Artful Trash". Consists of coffee grounds and egg shells.
Received a 7 and honorable mention.
A drawing I've made for May issue of the poster zine Composter. I'm playing with lots of naturalistic themes lately and this also serves as a preview of things to come.
a charming little wood mouse stocking up on seeds from our compost heap - note I'm using the 100mm macro lens - I was about 2-3 feet away, and it wasn't concerned at all. More to follow ;D
Our garden, Hamworthy, Poole, Dorset, UK
From weeds and leaves to next year's dirt. I recently moved this in order for it to catch more sun, it's working quite a bit better.
A photo of our home composting bin. I built this last fall out of mostly scrap materials we had in our garage. The side panels are roughly 36" X 36". California composting can be difficult because it is so dry here...but the rains of late have been helpful in getting this compost to "kick" and it is finally getting hot.
Northern Black Racer - Coluber constrictor ssp. constrictor
Location: Durham NC (USA)
I was startled to find this large racer when I opened the compost bin. I returned with my phone and a camera. Got a couple of phone shots, but the snake dove out through one of the ventilation slots when I tried to lean in for a nice macro with the camera. Oh well.
The cold compost method will produce compost in one to two years. Hot composting takes only three to six months. Photo by Tiffany Woods.
Home made compost tumbler.
I made it from things I had at home. The barrel was free from a dairy and I had the hardware for about 20 years. I save everything thats of value, and my value system is probably different than most.
So my wife say's
So what do we do with the green-waste we’ve just shredded and screened? Pile it up nice and high!!! I took this picture a while back of the massive compost mountain which I used to see on each visit to Kimbriki tip. I don’t know if this is the local northern beaches stockpile awaiting use or if this is the storage solution until they get into processing the material. Maybe this is their idea of windrow composting? Just one massive pile containing a few hundred tonnes of green-waste haha I imagine they’d achieve this mountain as a result of the processing equipment ejecting and shooting the material up to the top, just like a mulcher does, but with more force in this case. With the steep angle, it looks like an excavator or loader would’ve flipped and rolled back onto itself until it hit the bottom. Haven’t been to Kimbriki in a while, but I’m sure this is still an icon for the green-waste drop-off area.
