We visited Bodie Ghost Town first thing in the morning. The road leading to it was treacherous, but our car made it. When we got there, it started snowing those little alpine snowballs.
One of the first places we visited was clearly a dump for this once-bustling mining town. The only things remaining were decaying cans.
Of course, it made me think how different our dumps will look in 100, 200, 500 years.
(Sadness re: film leader at the bottom.)
Was slightly emotional chucking my ancient Mac. Had it since 1995. I did phone the computer museum up the road but they said they have enough crap beige macs thanks.
These robots are located at the Eureka, CA dump and recycle area. There is about 100 yards of these sort of creations there.

This is a 1970s Nissan CK20 dump truck. I drew i from memory, because I used to see it from time to time.
A great old truck buried under some of the snowfall in Hart, Michigan, December 13, 2008. This photo was taken with a 1948 Ferrania Rondine box camera using Efke R100 film and developed in Diafine.
Despite a big red sign stating fines for illegal dumping, it is ignored. This this done out of spite?
Near the station are sidings on which some redundant rolling stock is stored; one twin-unit electric loco and a number of coaches.
A shot showing the loco in more detail.
Broken TV laying in the grass.
This is some of the continuous illegal dumping on Kingsway Road in Hillsborough County, Florida

Given the depth of field, these really need to be seen at bigger than screen size, but this will have to do for now.
Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

Tibar rubbish tip, dump. Local people scavenging through the dump to collect cans to sell them to Dili. Residents are exposed to fumes from burning the rubbish as the crusher no longer works, the waste has to be temporarily burnt. Photo by Martine Perret/UNMIT 9 January 2009

"The tire dump" Pen and ink on 2 sketch book pages.
Tires pose an enormous environmental problem. as I doodled down this idea - meant to be in the context of a larger work about the environment, I couldn't help but find it fascinating...and almost pretty....at least visually.
My first submission - thanks for looking!
