  Hi there,

  Existing domain names are not recycled, no matter how long the site has been inactive. See:

  Recycling Blog Addresses (URLs)

  However, photozealland.wordpress.com doesn’t appear to exist yet, so you should be able to change your address to that.

  That address already belongs to someone else, so we cannot reassign it to you. You can try leaving a comment on that site to ask the current owner to transfer it to you. But them transferring it is the only way you can gain ownership of that address.
