More and more automakers are using recycled plastics (from bottles, caps, containers, and other plastic packaging we use every day) and plant-derived polymers for an increasing number of automobile parts and components in almost every car today.
Daimler AG, a German multinational automotive corporation integrates recycled and renewable plastics into their cars.
Daimler: The choice of material is determined by technical and quality requirements of the part, depending on where it will be used. Therefore, we use high quality recycled material that originated from production waste for the majority of parts. Furthermore, we are always searching for new application possibilities.
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.
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.

Dick Brothers Brewery was founded in 1857, and was one of the largest beer brands in the early 20th century rivaling Anheuser-Busch at one time. Dick Brothers closed in 1951. Today the complex of buildings is being redeveloped for commercial and entertainment use. It now is the centerpiece of the South Side German Historic District, listed in 1992 on the National Register of Historic Places.
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!

The Pons Cestius (Italian: Ponte Cestio, meaning "Cestius' Bridge") is a Roman stone bridge in Rome, Italy, spanning the Tiber to the west of the Tiber Island. The original version of this bridge was built around the 1st century BC (some time between 62 and 27 BC), after the Pons Fabricius, sited on the other side of island. Both the pontes Cestius and Fabricius were long-living bridges; although the Fabricius remains wholly intact, the Ponte Cestio was partly dismantled in the 19th century, with only some of the ancient structure preserved.
The Pons Cestius is the first bridge that reached the right bank of Tiber from the Tiber Island. Whereas the island was long connected with the left bank of the Tiber and the heart of ancient Rome, even before the pons Fabricius, the right bank (Transtiber) remained unconnected until the Cestius was constructed. Several prominent members of the Cestii clan from the 1st century BC are known, but it is uncertain which of them built this bridge.
In the 4th century the Pons Cestius was rebuilt by the Emperors Valentinian I, Valens and Gratian and re-dedicated in 370 as the Pons Gratiani. The bridge was rebuilt using tuff and peperino, with a facing of travertine. Some of the rebuilding material came from the demolished porticus of the nearby Theatre of Marcellus.
During the building of the walls along the river embankment in 1888–1892, the bridge had to be demolished and rebuilt, as the western channel was widened from 48 to 76 meters. The ancient bridge, which had two small arches, was simply not long enough. A new bridge, with three large arches, was constructed in its stead, with its central arch reusing about two-thirds of the original material.

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.
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.

We’re very into the notion of reusable wrapping alternatives, so this is my back-up posting for Macro Mondays theme of wrapping. The actual chosen posting comes up next. .

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.
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

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.
I am constantly amazed by the clever ways creators can take odd bits & pieces and create a wonderful new piece of art!

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 guinea pigged a new dish with some ingredients I picked up at Whole Paycheck.
Because of a brain fart, I ended up using cremini mushrooms instead of shiitake, which I saved for the company the next day. The beef tenderloin was grass fed and the asparagus came all the way by jet from somewhere in South America. Ouch! This one tasted great and the asparagus was a perfect match. I’ll wait to the spring, next time. I also didn’t have a mortar and pestle at the time so I had to crack the pepper by using the side of a bowl against another bowl.
The Port Wine used was Graham’s Six Grapes Reserve, which I think was $16 at Costco. A pretty good deal for a great port. I had a dream yesterday that I used my aged Tawny port and ruined the dish, so something is wrong with my head.
No, I didn’t drink the Port with dinner, I had GuS Dry Cranberry Lime soda which I picked up on sale at CostPlus because one of my guests was pregnant. The next day we had Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet Sauvignon with this same dish. The wine went down very easy with the cracked peppers.
I’m going to sub the port for the sherry and reuse the extra cremini mushrooms for a sweet and sour chicken tomorrow.
The recipes can be found in All-new Complete Cooking Light Cookbook (Cooking Light). Cooking Light is easy for people like me who can’t cook and aren’t gourmets.
Photographically there is not much to say. I stopped down the aperture so you could read the lettering on the wine bottle. I cropped out some of the detail since my dining area is very spartan. I don’t know how I got ISO 250, must have been a setting left over from Thanksgiving.

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!
