Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album. Enjoy!
What do you do with an old copper bowl that has a hole in it? Some people might fix the hole.
Or, you can make the hole bigger and turn it into a small sink.
At the aviation recycling centre at Kemble Airfield Airbus A319-112 named Artisides Sousa De Mendes awaits the final process in the Repurpose, Reuse and Recycle.
At the end of an airliners lifecycle they dont just get left to rot.
All reuseable parts are either removed for reuse in other airliners, or rempved and repurposed in a multitude of ways, then the remainer is recycled in an envirenmentally manner, nothing escapes the process.
She was retired and stored at Kemble by TAP in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.
WASHINGTON — The landmark 1899 post office tower on Pennsylvania Avenue — the second-tallest building in Washington — looked out of place in the Federal Triangle of neoclassical government buildings constructed mostly in the 1930s.
To complete the Triangle in an architecturally compatible style, the government wanted to tear it down, leaving only the building’s clock tower to rise above its replacement in homage to the Richardsonian Romanesque structure that would be no more.
The 1970 plan gave rise to Don’t Tear It Down, an organization (now the D.C. Preservation League) that successfully fought the demolition. Yet efforts to reuse the old building as offices for other federal agencies, with a ground-floor food court pavilion below the soaring nine-story atrium, also failed. The Old Post Office, a preservationist success, was a governmental flop, a federal white elephant saved from the wrecking ball — but for what?
In 2011, the General Services Administration, which owns and manages federal properties, invited interested parties to consider the prospects. More than 80 initially showed interest. Ultimately, 10 firms made formal proposals.
Last August, the agency signed a 60-year lease with the Trump Organization to renovate and convert the iconic building into a luxury hotel. Trump formally takes possession on Saturday, allowing work to begin on a $200 million makeover. The deal also includes two 20-year lease renewal options

plastic pots can be used multiple times for planting/repotting flowers, they are durable and easy to use, maybe not very pretty but as an insert for a ceramic pot they are perfect
A fence I used once before. I use it again to christen a new lens, and because the fence pickings ain't so good in our neighborhood. Is anyone running fence tours?
HFF to all: Looking forward to seeing everyone's handiwork.
This is the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge located in Fredericton, New Brunswick. Many years ago it was repurposed from a Rail Bridge to a walking bridge. In order to visit a family member, we drove from Digby, N.S. to Fredericton N.B.. We had reserved the 4:30pm Ferry but at 3:pm, we received an email stating the Ferry had been cancelled, and in fact never left Fredericton. Bastards!
We kept our cool and decided to make the 6.5 hour drive. We did however, enjoy the scenery along the way. My compliments to those responsible for designing the highway system in Nova Scotia. Other Provinces could learn from those engineers, and how to move traffic both effectively and quickly.
Beautifully shaped jam jars are saved and reused for homemade jam or jelly.

US National Landmark
The Arcade in downtown Cleveland, Ohio, is a Victorian-era structure of two nine-story buildings, joined by a five-story arcade with a glass skylight spanning over 300 feet (91 m), along the four balconies. Erected in 1890, at a cost of $867,000, the Arcade opened on Memorial Day (May 31, 1890), and is identified as the first indoor shopping mall in the United States. The Arcade was modified in 1939, remodeling the Euclid Avenue entrance and adding some structural support.
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

Everyday I remove the card from my camera and dump the photos on my computer, then put the card back into the camera for next day. So far just once did I pull out the camera to get the red flash of no card. The reusable card is also on my faux Autumn leaf that gets used each year for accent on mantel.

This one was ordered by me from Amazon in search of a smiley chair and photographed in a vintage retro building. The chair has since been reused as a pool tube smiling and sits happily while floating about when its summer.
I am constantly amazed by the clever ways creators can take odd bits & pieces and create a wonderful new piece of art!

U's (four & a half y-o) teacher was absent & NOT replaced so he stayed home with me. On this pic, he was doing the lacing cards I had made last year, re-using bits of cardboard, and pencils. (and a puncher, obviously !) (Jan. 26th 2009)
I've build this interlude especially for a LUG venue in about 1,5 months.
From what you see 95% is new. I only reused the fountain, the gondolas and the street lighting from my previous Venice moc. The rest is new and build from the ground up.
Even the water had to be rebuild because it fell apart when i broke down venice part 1 in 23'
I hope you enjoy what you see, and if you have any technique breakdown requests. Let me know

Some of you may be wondering why someone would go to all the trouble of creating this Facebook page and network of websites to tell you about water bottles. Here's your answer:
The world is deteriorating, as a result of decisions we have made. Every year, thousands of pounds of trash are deposited in landfills across the United States. However, because of recente advances in technology, more and more of this trash can be diverted away from landfills by simple consumer decisions. The short version: choices you make can save trash from landfills. People are always looking for simple ways they can help, ways they can be part of the movement. It doesn't always have to start with the government. The decisions that we make can add up to have huge impacts. Take water bottles for instance:
It's estimated that the average American drinks 167 bottles of bottled water each year. Simply by using a reUSeable water bottlé, you can help save these 167 bottles from going to the landfill.
So why the funky name? US is capitalized because this movement won't move without the cooperation of US - it's a communal movement. And why is it a water "bottlé"? Well, simply because bottlé is Swiss for "stylish metal container", and what doesn't sound cooler when it's in Swiss?
I've seen a fair few old telephone boxes with defibrillators, but this is the first with a book swap included. Seen in the village of Fotheringay - Peterborough.
at the street arts festival in worcester on sunday (9/25/16), some of the vendors/artists had unique sorts of things for sale. this artist, melissa calling her work anxietiart, makes people and animals from "found" items-- reduce reuse recycle

I was pleased to find that the Northern Flickers were going to reuse the nest they built last year. They appear to be more comfortable with my presence than last year, so I'm looking forward to getting some more fun photos here.
I'm fairly sure when I took this shot, the eggs were already laid, for after twenty minutes of quiet waiting, this male's head popped out and stayed out until the missus arrived. Then with a quiet chortle of greeting, they quickly swapped spots. The male flew out before the female landed under the nest.
When I checked on the nest yesterday, I was pleased to hear that the chicks had hatched. When a parent returned and entered the nest hole, the tiniest of chicks squeakings could be heard...begging for first dibs on feeding.
This will be my last upload for awhile...again..., as I'm behind on a great many things...including writing an article for a local magazine. More on that to come. So, until next time, enjoy your week/weekend and thank you so much for all your support, faves and comments. They are always appreciated!
