Photo of the Day- Wasteman
by Tessa Smith
Waste Man was made over a six-week period at the end of summer 2006 out of about 30 tonnes of waste materials that had been gathered by the Thanet waste disposal services and by local people, and deposited in Dreamland, the area of Margate next to the sea and close to the station that had traditionally been the site of a vast funfair.
The piece burnt in 32 minutes, sending showers of sparks over the crowd of spectators.
