Mini-challenge #597: Around the house

Thanks.

The first two images were taken at -as I call it- "the Hill" a couple of 100 m far from my house. At the time my parents bought our piece of ground, this area was a landfill. Originally it had been a clay mine for the brick factories in the district. After the mine was depleted, the empty hole became a landfill. With my brother and with my father we would drive there some weekend (when no garbage cars came) to look after useful stuff. We found wonderful objects indeed. Many basalt cubes, I still have them, a huge piece of iron cuboid which we would use as an anvil. Large and heavy it was, it was not possible to lift it into the car, we pulled it tied behind the car. It was possible because the street was not paved, it was a dirt road. A shoe factory dumped there the wasted (rejected) shoes. A neighbor would gather them and in the winter would heat (!) with them.

As the hole got filled little by little, the roads changed, and every time we went there, the landscape (if I can call it so) was different. It was an apocalyptic scene every time, and it was fun and a thrill go there. Boy, those were the days!

Later the vicinity got more densely populated, and we complained about the smell and the plastic bags flown by the wind and the junk was regularly covered by each time with a layer of soil, and at the end all was covered with earth and became a kind of wild park. With the advantage that no building can be built there upon this not so solid ground.
