Awwww. . .looks like this little guy got left behind in the parking lot, after the last rain storm.

Operation Wendy's

This fence happens to border the drive-thru of a Wendy's restaurant.


These vines look like reconnaissance scouts.  Maybe they're planning a reclamation initiative!

Once Upon A Time. . .

. . .industry used to really be local, that is within a community or neighborhood.


This factory, along with its smoke stacks, was enclosed within the interior space of a Williamsburg block in Brooklyn.

Interesting, some of the unexpected places that remnants like this, turn up.

Green on the Go

This weekend I volunteered at the New New York DIY Block Party.

One of the vendors there was the Biobus. That would be interesting enough, but what really caught my eye was a little patch of green on the roof at the back of the Biobus
.


It's called Bus Roots and was conceived of by Marco Antonio Castro Cosio. His idea is to create a fleet of mobile green roofs on the tops of city buses!  Read more about it at here).

Sounds like fun to me!
