To prepare for our new art studio, we demolished old sheds and took them to the local dump..
The Marin Resource Recovery Center is an indoor dump that’s about the size of three football fields. Built in 1987, it gives Marin County residents a clean, enclosed environment to dispose of solid waste.
Each month, the Resource Recovery Center processes nearly 3,000 tons of recyclables, according to the Marin Sanitary Service. They say the center may be the most sophisticated recycling facility in the country, with visitors from around the world coming to observe its state-of-the-art system.
This was a fun experience, with bulldozers zipping by across the pit, moving the debris we just dumped into a series of screens, conveyors, blowers, magnets, and hand-sorting separates dirt, sand, metal, wood, concrete, paper, and other materials for recovery.
Overall, everything went smooth as silk, and only took about half a day for the demolition and half a day for the dump run.
It was a great feeling to finally get rid of some of these old art debris to make room for the new sheds. Truly liberating!

Bag Dump - now wonder my bag feels so bloomin' heavy! Obviously camera is missing from this shot as I was using it to take the photograph!
So The Iowa brought the coal empties down, ran around their outbound load and pushed it onto the coal train and accidently dumped the air in the process, so now the crews wait while they build their pressure back up. Soon enough the Iowa will pull their 20 or so cars off and the switcher will take the 113 cars away. And dispite this, both crews were very friendly.
Left to rot in a small Court in Hertford Town Centre.
I don’t think some people care about our planet. Self obsessed not caring about others or our Council who will now take up the burden of this problem at a cost to us all.
Rant of the day over.
This is a 1917 American LaFrance fire truck.
My city actually found this abandoned in an old dump. The guys of the motorpool (me included) made it our goal to refurbish this thing and get it running. We did and for years someone from the motorpool drove it in local parades.
That was 25+ years ago.
Interest faded and this truck sat abandoned in the back of the shop. There were rumors of donating it to Haiti. Thankfully that never happened.
A few years ago one of my city's retired cops got a job at a local car dealership. He mentioned this old truck behind the motorpool to the dealerships owner. He wanted it.
My city donated it to him.
Now normally I would have questioned why we were "donating" anything to a multimillionaire. But I knew he would refurbish and preserve it.
It was finished being restored recently.
I got a phone call from that cop to be ready for something big.
Then he pulled up in this today.
I'm glad to see her again.
And now she is safe for another hundred years.

A four letter word that works fine as a description of today´s weather.
Refer to the picture I took at 02:07 Wednesday morning.
Then consider the difference between then and now.
For many countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America the debt burden have forced the governments to spend their public money for servicing the debt, making it difficult to provide healtcare, water and other basic needs for the poor. This groups demand 100% debt cancellation for all countries.
My last MOC of 2010!
Created in LDD in just a few hours, during a pause from homework.
Very simple, uncomplicated and without special techniques or details.
Why I created this? I noticed that this year I made 11 MOCs... I just needed one more for an average of 1 MOC per month. :P
Happy New Year, everyone!
Why am I dumping so many seagull shots on my photostream? Two reasons: One: I really like seagulls. At least when they are in the air. On the ground they are noisy winged rats fighting for rotten scraps of vile, stinky garbage. But in the air they are pure soaring grace. And two: I'm working on a Jonathan Edwards Seagull type video. After staring at so many of these things for so long I'd love to get some other opinions on which I should chose to do some Ken Burnsy things with. Love to hear your top 3 to 5 if you have a thought. Thanks!
As part of the simulated WWII Battle at the Land & Air Spectacular an Allied Fuel Dump is bombed by a Folke Wolf 190.
This is one of many explosions to be seen on the day.
I've now finally finished sorting through the photos from the weekend and have posted them up here: clients.degrootphotography.com.au/EmuGully/

Harsh reality for 2,000 workers. They collect plastic/metal and glass for recycling programs. The odor is extremely unpleasant and totally hazardous. Used syringes are found on the site result of illegal hospital waste dumping. Those three are probably having a "lunch break".

This is my reworked LEGO MAN dump truck. It took me about 60h to finish. See a video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCmM9Omoue0
