Or, as the excellent Mr Dent once said... "I'm game. We'll see who rusts first!"
This was on the banks of the river in Ahmedabad - taklen from the rooftop of the Mill Owners Building. Here's the location, and I cannot recommend it enough.
I think those are red kites above it, by the way. The circle the town all afternoon in their dozens - it's amazing.
The Bureau of Land Management, Sierra Front Field Office recently contracted with a company to clean a large (approximately two acre) illegal dump site located east of Silver Springs, Nevada. This site, which had the appearance of a small landfill became a popular spot for illegal dumping of trash. Full remediation and restoration of the site required a contractor with heavy equipment to remove larger trash items and mitigate potential hazardous materials on site. The cost of cleaning this dumpsite was approximately $66,000.
"Every year the BLM Carson City District Office receives hundreds of complaints from concerned public reporting trash sites on public lands," said Logan Briscoe, Supervisory Law Enforcement Officer. “When individuals cannot be held responsible for their illegal acts, the expense of cleaning up a site such as this one is often funded through the use of tax payer’s money. The BLM truly appreciates the dedication and devotion of community groups and individual volunteers who spend countless hours of their free time cleaning up public lands so others can experience use of their public lands free from unsightly trash."
The dump of the day. This is not a car crash. The car has been set on fire either for fun (joy riders) or for an insurance scam. No unsual to see the owners walking away with a jerrycan.
I was biking with my friends across the I-90 bridge in Seattle when we spotted the Seattle Police recovering a car that was dumped in Lake Washington. They sent a diver down to find it and attach a cable, then pulled it out of the seaweed onto the beach upside down with a tow truck. Still don't know what it was doing in the water.
A massive 60 shot upload to keep you all occupied for the next week or so whilst I nip out and take a few more shots.
Please pace yourself, I don't want any complains of Repetative Shot Syndrome...
I'll be adding individual titles and details of what you are looking at (assuming you are bothering to look) as and when I get time. Although I'm not always sure what I'm looking at as, despite several visits to Skye over the years, this is the first time I've actually managed to see the view!
