This one's for Bright Tal. I don't know why, but I thought of her as soon as the scene hit my eyeballs and I felt compelled to capture it. Actually, I do know why... it's because it's a high contrast, glowing duotone of pipework and wall!
Tal is touring Europe at the moment. Bon voyage and best wishes to you as you go...
This scene is the actually the ceiling of a toilet cubicle in the grounds of the Matrimandir temple of Auroville. We were about to go into the Inner Chamber of the temple...

Fully rebuilt forged engine, custom pipework, radiator, intercooler and other parts. The car also started life as a 1993 GTO with popup lights. We have done a full 99 conversion with all original Mitsubishi parts, which include replacing the complete front end assembly from the inner wings forward.
Internally, the most conspicuous feature of Bispham Methodist Chapel is the decorative pipework of the two manual and pedal organ. Further particulars of the instrument, which was installed here by Charles H Whiteley & Co of Chester in 1923 but is believed to date from around 1890, can be found in Appendix 3 to David Lithgoe's “A House Nigh Unto Heaven” (Bispham Methodist Church, 1994) and at www.npor.org.uk/NPORView.html?RI=D07969. There are also some fine examples of stained-glass and a baptismal font commemorating former members of the congregation. The pulpit fall from the former Primitive Methodist Chapel at Crawford is displayed in a frame on the south wall by the exit. The overall effect is rather spoiled by the bare CFL lightbulbs and suspended ceiling - a necessary alternative, in 1986, to the expense of restoring the plaster original. Various schemes for a reordering of the interior, which would see the fixed pews replaced by chairs and other changes to improve accessibility, are currently under discussion.
The main photograph above was taken on 18 June 2022. Also included on the left, from top-

Exploring the former Gilbertsons meat processing complex in Altona North. The abattoir opened in 1951 on a disused quarry site, with further expansion in 1969-70. Later renamed SBA Foods, the plant closed in 1999, with much of the complex demolished by 2006, with final site clearance occurring in early 2012.
Work in progress on some Hirst Arts cast pipework for tabletop miniature gaming. A dry fit of how they're to go together.
JOHN PICKHAVER from Cornwall was called to a shop to investigate problems with the hot water supply, where he found the water heater had been installed on a staircase landing. The stairs led to an attic room that – at least since the heater had been installed – was only being used for storage. Steps taken were to ensure the door was sealed up and the attic room made accessible via another route. Also, the blow-off pipework was reconfigured correctly.
JOHN RAE from Lynemouth, Northumberland, was attending a Sunderland chinese take-away. Taking out the meter-housing cupboard revealed the bypass pipework shown. Putting his nose to it made John dizzy in seconds. When Transco arrived they found it was also running the 19 flats above the restaurant. The landlord who owned the restaurant and the flats happened to be away on holiday for three weeks, meaning the gas supply for the whole property had to be shut off for a few weeks. Returning to the job, we were told that out of the whole (sizeable) street, only nine properties were actually paying for their gas!
Been working away this week (mon-weds) in Stockton Arriva bus depot.. installed some pumps and pipework :)
We stayed in some nice areas.. the first place was a bit bleak, but the second had some lovely old cathedrals and castles.. Durham! UNFORTUNATELY, according to Travel Lodge, by their decree doors lock at 10pm (I should of tested it as it sounds absurd - was probably the fat c-nut who I was with lying through his greasy mouth) so I stayed in prefering bed than an outside kip in the wind!
A point of note, if you go to Durham then visit the "Durham Light Infantry Man" (pub) atop the hill.. does lovely, LOVELY burgers and chips.. nicest burger I've had in a pub EVER! :D
But yeh anyway back to the point, didn't get a chance to get pics, so this is a random snap from the job we did. I just like macros, thats all there is to this pic really!
Thanks and enjoy!
Work in progress on some Hirst Arts cast pipework for tabletop miniature gaming. All glued together and attached to the base. Just need to texture the base with sand and it will be ready for painting.
