Always wondered where Nashua got rid of it's plastic bottles. Powerful picture.

What an eye to see possibilities with this scene. However, you turned it into a marvelous story of what goes on in our world. Extremely clever!

Hi Dave, Short AOL article this AM. Once empty, the plastic bottles land in an incinerator and become toxic trash releasing harmful byproducts. In total, the U.S. throws away 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour. And our landfills are closing at the rate of one per day, because they are either full or leaking toxic materials into lakes, streams and groundwater.

Thanks for the kind comments Randie and Patrice. We went gallavanting to find the perfect WIP Day photo, but first had to stop at the transfer station (dump). Well, guess which picture made the cut! I was in a fog sitting in the transfer station line and have to credit my wife for spotting this image. All that money tied up in photo equipment, but that second artistic eye is priceless...
