Frost by the recycling centre

This site was originally an orchard, then a brick clay pit and later a landfill site. It is now an informal recreation and nature area, with a small section of the site retained as a recycling centre, which is behind the fence seen on the left. The ditch in the foreground runs all the way around the former landfill area - I understand it is designed to prevent an uncontrolled spread of landfill gases from the area. At the far end of the fence can just be seen the chimney of the burner for the landfill gas - I understand that the burner is operated for a couple of hours every week or so.
