frozen spokes

The thing about bicycles in the 518 area is that they end up in some strange places. I once remember reading about a bicycle hauled up to the near top of a high-tension tower and strapped to a cross member, as an act of a daring deed. The perpetrators stopped short of the distance that it takes to kill you near the high-tension electrical wires, 5-6 feet I'm told.

Here this bicycle wheel was a simple toss from a roadway bridge some time ago. Incrusted in ice from a leak in this nine foot in diameter, one hundred-year-old wooden pipeline, does nothing but create art.

This old, and odd pipeline is totally functional as it carries water from Fish Creek to the small Schuylerville Hydroelectric Facility at a rate of 440 cubic feet per second. 518. Pentax.
