Brick Porn
Forgotten Glasgow storm drain. I took this on my 1st trip which was just a recce. I didn't bother with tripods & gear and only had a 50mm prime lens with me. Once there I couldn't resist taking some photos but supporting the camera for LEs in that 'damp' environment required ingenuity. It also enforced low POVs which actually worked really well in accentuating the pleasing egg-shaped cross-section and capturing low-angle reflections: serendipity! This is a crop to remove the black borders .
The whole drain is about 200m long with several twists and ends at a small chamber with another culvert carrying a stream or sewer. References on the internet suggest that this is one of the legendary mediaeval streams of Glasgow that has been culverted and last appeared on maps in the 1700s. Consulting old maps I am less sure. I will need to do more research to find out what this actually is.
