I just had to email the Director of Sales and Marketing at Bingham and Taylor to find out what this thing is. He patiently explained that this is a 'drip box', 'an access point to bleed off condensation / water that could be in the gas line'. Yeah, natural gas can condense.
Whodathunkit?
And guess what the condensate is called? If you said 'drip gas', you're right!
'Drip gas is another name for natural-gas condensate, a naturally occurring form of gasoline found near many oil and natural gas wells, in natural gas pipelines, and as a byproduct of natural gas extraction. It is also known as "condensate", "natural gasoline", "casing head gas", "raw gas", "white gas" and "liquid gold"'
We walk over these utility boxes every day and never even see them any more, let alone wonder what they're for or who made 'em. This one was made in America by a company that's 164 years old - and counting. And they're making things that'll probably last another 100 years.

The drip line is buried right next to these cherry tomatoes. The water comes out of the line at one foot intervals as you can see by the wet spots in the bare dirt.
Ulan (near Mudgee)
NSW, Australia.
The Drip is an amazing gorge on the Goulburn River just north of Ulan and about 50km north of Mudgee.
The main part of the massive rock overhang is referred to as The Great Dripping Wall.
Water runs off from the surrounding hillsides & seeps through the rock & drips onto the the pools in the gorge.
Ferns cling to the rocks of the steep overhang and are constantly watered by the the water that drips down the top.
The track to The Drip is about 2.4km return, but it’s well worth exploring further downstream.
There are sandstone cliffs with ferneries that cling to them, huge boulders, & gnarly twisted trees.
Recently, an Aboriginal style painting on a large rock overhang by the river was discovered to be by Brett Whitely, a famous Australian artist.
The Drip area also contains a culturally important cave for the Wiradjuri indigenous tribe.
The cave has been used for many years as a place for women’s rituals & birthing was performed there.
The Drip is a popular destination for both locals & tourists.
People visit The Drip to bushwalk, swim, and also to go camping.
Its a great location for photography & also for bird-watching.
Unfortunately, The Drip is under threat from mining.
The area is not protected by the nearby Goulburn River national Park & is owned by the Moolarben Coal Company.
The mining company have proposed to protect as national park a measly 0.75ha of the area directly around The Drip wall.
The remainder 53ha of the proposal is for a state conservation area rather than a national park.
This does not protect the sensitive area from mining.
Moolarben Coal have a proposal to drill a tunnel that crosses The Drip are & this has the potential to affect local aquifers & river levels.
This could threaten the survival of the sensitive area of The Drip itself.
Local landowners Julie & Colin Imrie have offered 10ha of their neighbouring ‘Gleniston’ property to become national park,
as long as the Yancoal group hand over a larger portion of their land to national park.
This is a beautiful & unique area that needs to be protected as a national park.
These decorative plates were originally painted with idyllic winter scenes. I sandblasted the surface to reveal varying degrees of bare unprimed porcelain. Drips of the original pattern give a sense of the original design.
You know, I haven't overprocessed the crap out of anything lately.
...ah, that's better.
So last night I learned how to make a Mariotte Siphon to make a nice, consistent, adjustable drip, and then deprived myself of sleep shooting around 400 frames of dripping water under my high-speed strobe. And now today I flip through them and.. eh. I can't figure out how to make any of them look good enough to be worth posting. I did figure out a couple interesting processing techniques in Photoshop, though.
What, me? Pretend I can be arty? NOOooo...

This a BIG piece of drip art! I use many types of application techniques (gestures) to get the look I want. You can't just throw paint around and expect it to look good. Everything is controlled explicitly. See how the gestures point, turn, dart and shoot around the canvas, forming complex and detailed areas - any of which would easily become a stand alone painting. Put all these together and the result is extraordinary. My big art is very Pollock inspired.
