The Chicago Cultural Center, opened in 1897, is a Chicago Landmark building that houses the city's official reception venue where the Mayor of Chicago has welcomed Presidents and royalty, diplomats and community leaders.
A very pleasant wander over a chilly Ingleborough. One of those occasions where I smugly trot down the iced up paths in my microspikes. I'm definitely going to fall on my face next time aren't I?
Whenever we go grocery shopping, I find that I look at the packaging our food comes in as a possible photographic subject. One afternoon my husband came home with a large bag of tangerines. I enjoy that fruit, yet the bag holding the orange orbs made me especially happy.

Love the guys hat in this previously unpublished shot from February 2018 - No. 4201 uploaded to my 'Black and White Streets' album.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.
My wonderful SIL created gift bags this year and mailed them early with requests to “open” them!! They are sewn from quilt squares and the back side is red felt— isn’t she clever? The next picture in the photostream shows some of the things that were in the bag!

Molti mestieri spariscono ma c'è ancora chi resiste all'incessante evoluzione del consumismo sfrenato quello che produce beni di consumo scadenti e a basso costo. Beni non riutilizzabili e facili da buttare che constribusicono allo spreco di risorse e all'inquinamento di questa terra.
Old craftsmen
Many professions disappear but there are still those who resist the incessant evolution of unbridled consumerism, the one that produces cheap and shoddy consumer goods. Non-reusable and easy-to-throw goods that contribute to the waste of resources and the pollution of this earth.
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

Thank you for your comments and favourites.
Good news, my flare-up of severe Long Covid symptoms appears to have ended as suddenly as it started. Yesterday I actually felt 'normal' for the first time in just over two weeks. Just as the previous two occasions this has happened, the duration and severity of symptoms and the sudden onset and end are nearly identical. So bizarre. Hopefully it will be a few months before it happens again, like last time, though obviously I would prefer that it never happens at all.
Of course, the symptoms remain, but the difference in severity is enormous. I have to remember that while I 'feel' like I am back to normal, my normal now is not what it used to be and I have to be careful not to overdo it. I still have to micromanage my rest and recovery for everything that I do.
It's blissful not to feel and hear your own heart thumping irregularly and at just 30 beats per minute over and over again, non-stop, day after day. There must be a trigger to this repeating pattern of symptoms though. I just don't know what it is yet.
Take care everyone.

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
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.

This is for the for now the last one of the Tweebosbuurt mini-series. It shows that modern demolition nowadays can be relatively resource-friendly. When possible metal is salvaged from the rubble. And bricks too. After removal of the cement traces, they’re reusable for renovation and new constructions – they’re often used for their rustic appearance.
So I was out running errands and spotted this! If I was a true recycler, I would have scooped it up to reuse- right?
The John C. Anderson House is one of the best representative examples of eclectic residential design in Carlinville. In the waves of revival fashions that swept across North America from the 1830s until the early 1900s, stylistic lines were often blurred.
The first floor of the house, shown in my previous photo, was built in 1883 and was primarily Italianate in design. The second floor and tower, shown in this image, was added in 1892 and displays the Queen Anne and Stick styles popular during that time. The asymmetrical composition consists of a variety of forms, textures, and materials. Architectural parts include a tower, gabled dormers, projecting pavilions, porches, bays, and encircling verandas.
John C. Anderson, the only son of well-to-do banker C.H.C. Anderson, acquired the property as a wedding gift from his step-grandfather, Marshall H. Stratton. The house and outbuildings, now including the old Raffurty one-room schoolhouse shown previously, stands on roughly 16.5 acres.
When John had his house built, he erected a home suitable for a man of his standing in the community. His father was a very prominent community leader and owner of the "Banking House of C.H.C. Anderson" (see Anderson Bank earlier in this Carlinville series.)
John was associated with his father's bank at the age of 19. He assumed the presidency in 1890 after the death of his father.
John remained as president until his death in 1932. He was also associated with Carlinville Coal Company and had large real
estate holdings in the county.
After the Anderson's deaths, the house passed on to their children and later was left vacant for several years. In 1973, the Macoupin County Historical Society purchased the property. The house is now used for a museum, and can also be rented for special events such as weddings. The house was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1992.

As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.
ANSH 123 (6) planet first for earth day
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.
It takes nearly one hour of walking to reach this wreckage of a DC-3 at the black beach of Sólheimasandur. However, for a special wedding photo, this effort seems to be acceptable.
So here's a stupid story.
Sometime in early May at a regional lake, I found a forgotten reusable water bottle at the bottom of a gear bag. The decision was made to fill it up with lake water, a bit of sediment, and a few rocks and pebbles. The original premise was to create a small, sealed bowl of one of our most frequent dive locations to join a shelf of "nature memorabilia." What better way to memorialize a location than to take a tiny sample of it?
This was...a bit over 6 months ago.
First, there was one small water snail that made its presence known, and it pulled the plug on the plan to pour the contents into a bowl, because that could accidentally crush the snail - and the snail is officially part of that bowl. We thought we're going to let the poor little critter go on the next dive, just empty everything back into the same lake and call it day.
But if you know me, you know I like critters - I built terrarium with garden snails and slugs, as well as moss and other bits that I personally collected while hiking in 2020 (Lockdowns. Cabin fever, you know the deal) and that went on for a couple of years. And if you know me really well, then you know half of my tattoos are in fact critters and mushrooms, and I regularly get down and muddy for an up-close and personal look through the undergrowth. So of course I was pretty interested in this little finding. I had accidentally acquired curiosity...
What would happen if we left this bottle alone?
Well. Apparently the one snail has friends. On the last census, there's over 25 snails of various sizes - some climbing up, some lounging on the pebbles. There's at least two species of aquatic insects acting as an excellent clean up crew. And there's definitely algae. It's sealed, so somehow this a complete ecosystem in its own right.
What effectively looks like a dirty water and a few rocks is in fact self-sustaining and full of life.
As the days get shorter and sunlight gets sparse, now they have their own light source. They get more active and climb up to the surface. They seem to do spectacularly well without any interference. The bottle hasn't been opened.
I have to say, I'm quite fond of it. Of the tenacity of those tiny life forms. Of the fact that this is even a thing.
So yeah...
I love to reuse some jars, just a colored ribbon, any things I have on hand .. some wild flowers ... ready! A new pot of flowers to decorate a little corner ; )
