A pipe is leading brine through an old salt work in Germany. Pretty crammed place. Best viewed large.

Southern Nevada Water Authority wants to drain the water from an area almost as big as the state of Vermont! They want to take water from high deserts of Rural Nevada. They will leave our valleys dustbowls. Eventually, they will drain the groundwater from the nearby mountain ranges too. One of these ranges is the Great Basin National Park.
I've had this photo on the computer for a while now, but never been inclined to post it. I stumbled across it today and looking at it with fresh eyes, I think it has something about it. I wanted to make a very industrial scene look more delicate, kind of like the parts of one of those Airfix models. I think the effect looks like it has been sprayed with primer ready for painting.

This pipeline runs around the boundary of the park, it caries steam from one ICI plant to another. And here is a kink in it, not sure why it is here. Taken from a footbridge across the pipeline, not from on the pipes.
here is a photo of the place that makes the steam, the combined heat and power plant in winnington: flickr.com/photos/93173492@N00/212342518/?addedcomment=1#...
The Alyeska pipeline’s structure is really a fascinating thing. Rather than being directly mounted to a post, the pipeline itself sits on a sliding shoe that can back and forth on a crossbar between two posts. This lets the pipeline shift relatively freely to handle expansion and contraction do to temperature shifts as well as ground movement due to permafrost melt or earthquakes. Where the pipeline is mounted, it is wrapped in a large, insulating bumper in case it shifts so far as to hit one of the posts. Further, each post is topped with a heatsink to prevent the heat of the oil from being transmitted into the ground and melting the permafrost below (which would cause massive deformation of the landscape, potentially stretching and breaking the pipe). Preserving the permafrost is actually the main reason much of the pipeline is built above ground, rather than buried.
This was a shot of the prep work for the final weld of a natural gas pipeline that spans 1700 miles across the country.
The Sooke Waterflow Pipeline can be accessed from Glintz Lake Road. The first time we drove up there looking for it we did not find it. It is in plain view from the road if one knows what to look for. Look for verticle pipe sections -- not horizontal pipe, The pipeline has longsince been removed to make way for the road but pipe-ends on both sides of the paved roadway have been marked by placing verticle pipes in position. Now that you know what to look for -- you can't miss it!
