monomad challenge recycling tires

ok i know this is trash but i' sure you've heard the expression: one man's trash is another man's treasure.

we had to drive our old stove to the recycling center last week along with some other junk we've had hanging around far too long. while we were there i noticed the bins for old tires and got out my S22 phone camera. there's one bin each for tires with and without the wheels/rims. personally i prefer the photos of the tires without the wheels but the others weren't to shabby either- considering that they are just junk after all.

not long ago tires like these were burned to get rid of them, at best they were used as fuel. the smoke was toxic and could be smelled from long distances. fortunately they are no longer burned but are used to make rubberized asphalt, playground surfaces and swings, mats and more. and now they can even make for decent black and white photos
