In the park I walk every day there is a water pipe. Over the years great quantities of moss has grown. I have taken many pictures of this, but none looked good until I stuffed a Nikon speedlight up the pipe under exposed the shot and triggered the strobe.

Candid street photography from Glasgow, Scotland. Captured during my street photography photo-walk in association with Wex PhotoVideo. Enjoy!
I mentioned to a friend who lectures at Aberystwyth University that I was on the lookout for pipe smokers to photograph, and by the end of the same day she sent me a message to say that she had just found “a lovely lass who smokes a pipe”. And there was me thinking it would be some time before I encountered a lady pipe smoker. This is Saf, a first year Computing student from Pembrokeshire who’s been a pipe smoker since her father bought her a pipe when she was 20. It’s a father-daughter thing, as it seems most of the rest of the family aren’t keen at all.
We chatted a while as I snapped, with a whiff of Vanilla and Cherry tobacco smoke wafting in the breeze. Still a much nicer aroma than some sickly strawberry vapour from an electronic device. I gathered that you can’t just step outside for a quick smoke with a pipe, the whole idea is the taking the time, enjoying the ritual. A good spot for Saf is the beach, the pipe is always with her on beach days, and, it seems, most of her fellow students think it’s actually quite cool.
Long exposure of a drainage pipe out into the sea. No trickery used for the sky and sea merge, its how it came out.
Sea fret at Cambois. There's something magical about the way mist simplifies a landscape, helped in this case by a high tide and a 60-second exposure...

Evidence that they used to worship the Sun before the Great Ruin. Another shot for the Starship Archive.
Indian Pipe or Ghost Pipe (Monotropa uniflora) is a white wildflower that is entirely free of chlorophyll. It can grow in very dark places, as it does not need sunlight. Instead, it gets its energy from fungi associated with decaying vegetation, thus it is parasitic. These are the actual white flowers on white stems. They lack leaves. They are found in moist, heavily shaded places, such as wooded wetlands. The plants are only a couple of inches tall, but you can judge the scale by the moss through which they are growing. This is the first time I've seen this plant, which I discovered at Iargo Springs, Huron-Manistee National Forest in NE Michigan.

A load of Dura-Bond steel pipe from Steelton, PA is waiting on a signal at the Steelton Industrial track in Harrisburg. Leading the train is ex-Penn Central GP38-2, NS 5305.
Cal Trans decided to close down a lane where the freeway crosses over a wash (even though no one was actually working on it at the time) so I naturally had my eyes open and camera handy when this came into view. It's just a pipe but I thought it looked cool.
I've been wanting to get this shot for a while now, but never timed it right. I caught the tide going out just in time before it got too dark for this shot.
Outflow pipe at Blyth beach in Northumberland.
Thanks for looking :)
