G-EZNM, Awaiting its fate during the recycling process at Kemble. Much of the aircraft has already been repurposed and reused as spares.
Airbus A319 was G-EZNM on 01/03/2005 until 01/22/2010 becoming HB-JZU with Easyjet Switzerland before rejoining the UK fleet on 03/09/2016. Retired and stored 10/2021 at Kemble to be scrapped.
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.
On the southeast corner of S. Main St. (front entrance) and E. Beardstown St. is the former Hotel Mann, which sits on the east side of the square across from the Cass County Courthouse. When it opened in 1896, the Hotel Mann was considered an upscale hotel with twenty-five rooms, steam heat, electric lights, and private baths with hot and cold water. The exterior of the building is upscale too, with the upper floors decorated in ornamental sheet-metal panels produced by Mesker Brothers Iron Works of St. Louis, Missouri.
I never found a date when the hotel closed, but I'm certain it was decades ago. The ground floor is now configured as retail space, with apartments now on the second and third floors.

People travel for hours to partake of "Mr D"'s 'Heavenly Fried Chicken' at The Old Country Store Restaurant in Lorman, Mississippi. The restaurant is on US 61 between Port Gibson and Natchez just off the Natchez Trace Parkway.
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.

The Caldwell County jail was built in 1908-1909. Designed by architect T. S. Hodges, this castellated brick structure served as the county's jail until 1982. Hodges is also known for the Dr. Eugene Clark Library in Lockhart shown previously in this short series.
The jailer's quarters occupy the ground floor, over a storage area in the basement. The upper floor contain fifteen cells of concrete and steel, with one cell rising from the center of the building. Gallows are said to have been removed from this jail in the 1930s.
Now a museum, the jail also hosts exhibits relating to the history of Caldwell County and the State of Texas. The former jail is not a Texas Historic Landmark.
Lockhart is the seat of Caldwell County, and is located 30 miles (48 km) south of Austin. The estimated population of Lockhart in 2019 was 14,133. Known as the Barbecue Capital of Texas, Lockhart also has played host to many film sets. The 1996 Christopher Guest comedy film Waiting for Guffman and the 1993 drama What's Eating Gilbert Grape were filmed partially in Lockhart, including the historic courthouse and the town square.
Please accept my apologies for the quality of this image. It leaves a lot to be desired. I am posting it simply for what it includes. We are standing on the highway overpass at the east end of Norfolk & Western’s yard in Crewe, VA on January 13, 1974. A yard job was switching with GP38AC No. 4137 and a GP9. With that established, let’s move from left to right.
In the upper left is a scrap yard operated by N&W. Retired cars were cut up and loaded into gondolas for shipment. Some equipment was reclaimed for reuse and shipped to other locations for reconditioning. The wooden cabooses above the 4137 were stored awaiting scrapping. They would be set off the track to the far left, torched, and the remains scrapped. The shack between the 4137 and the scrap yard was utilized by yard crews and car inspectors.
The east end of the yard can be seen above yard job. The left side was principally for eastbound traffic, the right side for westbound. Note the coal staged to go east. Almost all coal trains had to double their train together before departure.
The two tracks to the right of the yard job are the main line tracks. The shack in the center right is for the switch tenders. There weren’t any power switches. The switch tenders appeared to handle everything at the throat of the yard and on the mainline. The switch tender can the seen in the bottom center of the image. To say the job was physically demanding would be an understatement.
In the upper right is the engine terminal. One track was for the wreck train and three for the locomotives. At this time most trains swapped engines at Crewe.

A view of what is now the Artisans building on the Illinois State Fair grounds in Springfield. Originally known as the Poultry Palace, this handsome structure is the second oldest building on the Illinois State Fairgrounds.
The Poultry Palace was built following a disastrous storm in 1895 that killed many of the State Fair's feathered entries which, up to that time, had been housed in sheds. After the calamity, State Fair Poultry Superintendent, and future Governor Len Small, was quoted as saying: “the loss of valuable fowls was considerable, and the necessity of a suitable building, obvious.”
Construction of the Poultry Palace began in 1896, and was completed in time for the 1897 Illinois State Fair. Now repurposed as the Artisans Building, every Illinois State Fair, the building is filled with displays of Illinois crafts. During the rest of the year, the facility is rented for private gatherings such as wedding receptions, meetings, and high school proms.

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.
View of Siena, by the South-East side, in which the back of Palazzo Pubblico, seat of the Municipality, is easily recognizable. In the skyline stand out the Torre del Mangia, the only remaining tall tower view from the side of the Chiesa di Sant'Agostino, where the back of the Palazzo Pubblico, seat of the Municipality, is visible. The Torre del Mangia stands out alone in the skyline as more than 100 others have been partially or totally dismantled over the centuries, both due to stability problems - particularly after the 1798 earthquake - and to reuse the stones, as well as a changed urban planning vision of the city.
The old Loggia Rucellai has been adapted with glass walls and is now an exhibition hall and shop for silver works by artists from Florence.
The loggia was built by Giovanni di Paolo Rucellai in the 1460s; it may have been designed by Leon Battista Alberti, but this attribution is disputed. Originally it was intended as a place for the Rucellai family to have weddings and other celebrations.
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?

Many, many thanks for all your views, faves and comments.
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.
As individuals we need to stop using plastic that is single use, and manufacturers must stop producing the vast majority of it.

The oldest Art Deco building in Los Angeles sold for $9 million In 2004. Built by high-end haberdasher James Oviatt in the 1920s, the 12-story Oviatt Building still has some Jazz Age sizzle, with frosted glass designed by Rene Lalique in windows and doors, a three-faced neon clock on the roof and a luxurious penthouse that includes a replica of a Pullman-car stateroom.

My DD was painting outside and used a plastic mini quiches container as a mixing pallet. It was left outside and various bugs wandered in and got stuck. The orange paint pot was the most popular…..
Anyhow I used my cloning skills in the app Retouch and made it prettier!! Will put the buggy original in the first comment box in a bit
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.

The striking exterior of the National Swimming Center , being constructed for the 2008 Olympic Games and nicknamed, the "Water Cube," is made from panels of a lightweight form of Teflon that transforms the building into an energy-efficient greenhouse-like environment. Solar energy will also be used to heat the swimming pools, which are designed to reuse double-filtered, backwashed pool water that's usually dumped as waste.
Excess rainwater will also be collected and stored in subterranean tanks and used to fill the pools. The complex engineering system of curvy steel frames that form the structure of the bubble-like skin are based on research into the structural properties of soap bubbles by two physicists at Dublin 's Trinity College . The unique structure is designed to help the building withstand nearly any seismic disruptions.
This is my first real drone. Meatbag is there for scale and fire support, also I like the stickers on the shirt. The decals on the drone aren't Lego, they're from an old helicopter kit and an old tank kit, mainly because I don't have good Lego stickers. Also reused background is reused. Also, hail Dronezus.
