I love finding these pipelines. This was taken with my new Formatt Hitech Firecrest IRND 16 stop filter - have to say, they really are very colour neutral. Very impressive.
Last year I had a photograph published in the Plus One Collection photo book. A few people suggested they'd have been interested in buying the book had they known. We're (hopefully) doing it all again this year - the book is for charity and if you're interested you can find out more about it here: www.indiegogo.com/projects/plus-one-collection-iii
I learned a new word today: penstock. This pipeline, or penstock, has carried water down the Wappinger Gorge to a hydroelectric plant since 1909. In 2019 part of the penstock burst, collapsed, and had to be repaired.
Here's a pre-burst view of the penstock from 2017.
Mrs Helen Fallini lived here in the early 1950's when there was nuclear testing 20-25 miles away. She was asked how she felt about the testing and said " My feelings toward it are that we were nothing, that we were played for guinea pigs. It wasn't supposed to hurt us in any way, shape, or form and yet we got that fallout so heavily that it was unbelievable. And then my nephew got sick and died, and we had dogs that went blind and cattle that were burned." The family moved.

Taken at Briton Ferry - the pipelines used to serve the old Baglan Bay chemical works - not sure if they are used for anything else now - anyone know?
An impressive pipeline in Vestmanna, Faroe Islands.
An account of my very interesting week in the Faroes:
Whatever one thinks about oil exploration on the North Slope of Alaska, the Alaska Pipeline is surely one of the engineering marvels of the 20th century. Much of it is built above ground on earthquake-proof supports like those that can be seen here.
According to Wikipedia, "The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System (TAPS) includes the trans-Alaska crude-oil pipeline, 12 pump stations, several hundred miles of feeder pipelines, and the Valdez Marine Terminal. TAPS is one of the world's largest pipeline systems. It is commonly called the Alaska pipeline, trans-Alaska pipeline, or Alyeska pipeline, (or the pipeline as referred to in Alaska), but those terms technically apply only to the 800 miles (1,287 km) of the pipeline with the diameter of 48 inches (122 cm) that conveys oil from Prudhoe Bay, to Valdez, Alaska. The crude oil pipeline is privately owned by the Alyeska Pipeline Service Company…From Pump Station 1 it takes an average of 11.9 days for oil to travel the entire length of the pipeline to Valdez, a speed of 3.7 miles per hour (6.0 km/h)."
n 1930, a pipeline was built to supply water to Murree, Pakistan's busiest hill station. Dunga Gali pipeline track follows the pipeline from Donga Gali to Ayubia,a distance of 4 kilometers, very easy walking track and takes 40 to 50 minutes having altitude around 8,200 ft. You are urged to capture unforgettable memories , natural beauty and charming weather enjoying nature miracles like rain , sunshine , fog , and clouds in a single moment.
Water supply from the Peak District to Derby, Leicester etc. Filling the Howden reservoir started in 1912 and dual 45 inch pipelines led down to a holding reservoir at Ambergate. This aqueduct was built to allow Ladybower to flood the original route in 1945.
The North Wales Express steaming its through the brickwork wedges that lift and support a large gauge pipeline across the Crewe to Chester railway line. Maybe mains water from nearby Hurleston Reservoir?
