Work progresses on the new 'super sewer' which will run parallel to The Thames for 25km from Acton to Beckton.
Life Underground (2001) is a permanent public artwork created by American sculptor Tom Otterness for the New York City Subway's 14th Street/Eighth Avenue station, which serves the A, C, E, and L trains. The installation is a series of whimsical miniature bronze sculptures depicting cartoon like characters showing people and animals in various situations, and additional abstract sculptures, which are dispersed throughout the station platforms and passageways.

This particular sculpture, at the time I photographed it, was installed on one of the streets in Brooklyn.
I am sure that this is a subject that many would never consider but with all sincerity, I am grateful for my circumstances to live where our homes have modern plumbing. Many of us take this convenience for granted and forget that so many people in the world don't have the same access. For a short time in my life, I actually worked as the receptionist for a waste treatment facility and learned a great deal about the processing and management. If you are lucky enough to live where you have access to a good sanitation system and clean drinking water take a moment today to acknowledge your good fortune.

A build which I was originally going to save for some point in mission 10 of the 253rd, but I decided to post it now instead.
I'm really happy with how the build came out, though I'm not sure about the lighting.
Anyway, heavily inspired by Captianinfinity's Mission 11.1
C&C is appreciated and TFVAHAGD!
Descend into an underground world and discover a forgotten piece of Antwerp history! In the Middle Ages, countless Ruien, vlieten and vesten traversed the city. When these waterways lost their function as source and port, the Ruien were covered and a unique piece of heritage disappeared from the cityscape and our memory. A visit to this hidden system of corridors, with its old vaults, canals, bridges, sewers and sluices, takes you on a journey through time. During a walk through these special surroundings, you will learn about the history of De Ruien through surprising facts and anecdotes and meet its current residents. An experience not to be missed for everyone with a heart for architecture, history and the city!
Shoe-sized, on wheels and with a camera fitted - the sewer pipe inspection camera. Since the company emptying the village's sewers is called "Tomatoplant", I suggest we baptise this camera "Bellevue". Leica M8, Voigtlander AS 2.8/90. Image has been cropped.
While in Vienna I got down into the sewers on a tour following some of the locations used in the famous film The Third Man. This tunnel has the Wien river flowing through it; it appeared in one of the climatic scenes in the film.
For a photo story of my visit to Vienna:
Deep in the tunnels... No sunlight... above the flood line. Attempting to live forever (or at least 30-40 years )
I've been looking for this place for ages both on foot and online. I never like to ask where places such as this are to people who've been so I kept up the search. A picture from here came up on my feed which had a screenshot in the comments as to it's exact location. 30 seconds from the car, over a fence and down a muddy slope. Happy days.
I drove an hour from home, to a beautiful location in the Peak District just to drop into a rather smelly hole in the ground. I thought it was just the smell of nature but upon my exit I discovered someone had been down there and relieved themselves. Either that or the drains man who was in the car park on my exit was there to fix a problem with the sewers. Fingers crossed the former as my tripod and feet were submerged in the flow for about half an hour. If there is no upload tomorrow you'll know why.

A great little spot despite the aroma.
I'm off to clean my tripod.
The Sewer King, a figure both feared and revered, was a master of the underground. His throne was an elaborate contraption of rusted pipes and dripping valves. Cloaked in a garment woven from the finest sewer rats' pelts, he surveyed his realm with an air of regal detachment. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsUTs38feeM made with the grand KetsuidaFaun +En Pointe+ Danse Macabre

Thanks for views, comments and favs :)
I came across about 30 of these huge sewer mains all lined up in a row. Nice texture when viewed large.
Stephan Frontenac sitting at his table, he sees Beth come up to his dock in a small motor boat driven by someone else. He sees her wave the boat away and start walking towards his home. He watches her dancers grace, those composed precise and trained movements that made him fall in love with her. He smiles and nods in her direction, waiting for her to come closer before he speaks.
beth Latynina steps carefully onto the dock as dismissing the driver would just take an moment to look around. Slight wrinkle of nose to the smell of the swamp reminding her of years past tredging around in the sewers with Stephan. Still looking as young and beautiful as ever. Would walk over to where she sees her husbamd sitting. Lips drawn into an smile as speaks," so this is where you have been hiding lately?.."
Stephan Frontenac stands up and walks over to beth, taking her hands in his and saying “I thought it was time for me to leave the beaches for a back bayou somewhere.” He looks around finding the smell of decay in the swamp rather pleasant and says with a content smile “With Libby in Midian, this seemed like a logical choice.”
beth Latynina: slender hands curl within your own as just laughs," yes and am surprised you did not do it long ago.." stepping in closer to you bringing with her the coying scent of perfume you love so much. Body shifts as lips part pressing to your in an lingering kiss," Whispering then," well i thought it wise to come and check up on you both..."
[stephan Frontenac looks around and notices his complet lack of a sofa. He shrugs a little to himself and says "I'm happy to see you love, you always make my whole body tingle in happiness when I see you, especially when it's been too long."
[ beth Latynina shifts curling along your side one hand resting to your chest." so tell me what our daughter has been up too? She has yet to return my phone calls.."
[ Stephan Frontenac had been debating which bad news to tell Beth first, about Libby or Ashagi, but thankfully she directed the conversation. He frowns a little at her question and just blurts it out "It's been hard on her, she's had to grow up fast. She was raped a few weeks ago and she's made enemies with the Noble family somehow. I'm not unconvinced the two are unrelated. Cute little Phoebe Noble, Cait's daughter if you remember her, turned into more of a monster then her father."
beth latynina blinks as had been so afraid of that," I was so hoping she would not have to go though that. Physically she is alright? There was no permanate damage?.." frowning when you speak of Cait's daughter." is such an shame. As emember she was always so sweet and shy everytime I met her." sighs," well Libby is smart and strong. You have someone watching her?"
