In Brisbane, recycling for most people consists of splitting their daily household rubbish into recyclable, and non-recyclable items. Rubbish goes in the black bin, and recyclable items go into the bin with the yellow lid. Once a week (if your lucky) a truck comes...

I have been meaning to do this for a while. Take a photo of one of the lakes here in Kiel and stitch it all together. The stitch is not the best but you get the idea. I will keep searching for a better way to make these type of photos.Photo taken at 9pm on Summer...
